Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike challenges supporters of presidential candidate Peter Obi to provide evidence that Obi won Rivers in 2023. In the remarks reported by multiple outlets, Wike says his opponents should produce the official “result sheet” showing the alleged victory.
Wike’s comments also include criticism of why the claim was not pursued through established legal channels when related disputes were before the courts. Premium Times reports that he questions why Obi’s supporters did not present their argument during the legal process concerning the 2023 presidential election. Vanguard reports a similar line, framing the dispute as one of contested evidence and claims made by “Obidients.”
The reports differ mainly in emphasis: Vanguard highlights the call for a specific document, while Premium Times stresses the timing of the challenge and the lack of reliance on court proceedings when the issue was litigated. Both accounts present Wike as disputing the basis for the claim rather than conceding it.
