However while addressing the press today, March 2nd, 2023, Peter Obi rejects Tinubu’s victory as he asserts that he won the election and he’ll prove it to Nigerians.
In his words; “Labour party won the election and I will prove it. I have had several phone calls where I asked people to remain calm and peaceful, that has nothing to do with what I am challenging, I am challenging the process. “if a process is faulty, it is faulty, in fact, you can’t build peace on a faulty foundation, it cannot happen anywhere in the world.”
However, the emotional moment that got many people talking was when Peter Obi breaks into tears following the defeat while addressing the press.
