Tribunal Has Finally Declared Peter Obi Winner of 2023 Election? Fact Emerges

Jul 28, 2023 | Uncategorized


  • Nigeria’s third-placed presidential candidate, Peter Obi, strongly rejected the election results and, since May, has been contesting them in court
  • On March 1, the electoral commission, INEC, declared Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the country’s ruling party, APC, as the winner of the February presidential election
  • While Tinubu has since resumed office, there have been persistent claims about his ineligibility because he didn’t score 25% votes in Abuja

FCT, Abuja A July 18 post on Facebook claims that the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) had declared Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), the winner of the 2023 election.

The poster claimed the court took the decision because Obi met the 25% threshold in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
