Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress has berated Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as an immature and selfish person, for claiming he won last Saturday’s presidential polls.  

“They are gnashing their teeth, you can all see, it shows the level of immaturity, selfishness and lack of sense of judgement,” Mr Adamu said in a news conference on Thursday.

The APC leader advised Mr Obi, and other opposition leaders to accept the outcome of the polls as announced by INEC, saying “it doesn’t make sense” for them to claim victory.

“It is the nature of things. You win some, you lose some and the fact that we lost some major states like Lagos, Kano, Katsina and even Nasarawa, Kaduna,” Mr Adamu argued. “The fact that we lost these places and we didn’t shed tears, we did not cry foul, makes us the real political party in this country.”

He added, “With the strategic position of Lagos, strategic in terms of location, population in terms of economy in terms of political history and prestige, we lost and we didn’t run the streets crying, but what is important is we got what we want, we got the presidency. 

Mr Obi, declared the second runner up at the presidential polls, addressed a press conference on Thursday where claimed he won the election and would prove it in court. The LP flag bearer urged his supporters, predominantly young Nigerians to remain peaceful as he explores legal means to reclaim his “stolen mandate”.

INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, on Wednesday declared Bola Tinubu of the APC winner of Saturday’s presidential election at the National Collation Centre, Abuja.

The declaration of Mr Tinubu as the president-elect came amidst huge protests by PDP and Labour Party, who called for the suspension of result collation and outright cancellation of the presidential poll due to INEC’s failure to upload election results on its server in real time. 

Mr Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, winning 12 of 36 states of Nigeria. 

Mr Abubakar came second polling 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of Labour Party came third, polling 6,101,533 votes.
