Nigerian political figure Peter Obi, who is a candidate for Nigeria’s 2027 presidency, says he won the 2023 presidential election. In interviews with Rufai Oseni, Obi argues that the results process did not declare him the winner despite his claim of victory. He tells Nigerians to “forget about the proof,” saying he believes the “story will be told” and that the electoral process will eventually recognise his win. Obi describes his position as one based on previous election experience, asserting that he has contested elections and won as a presidential candidate before, even when outcomes are not reflected in official declarations. He also states that he is offering himself for the general election in Nigeria. In the 2023 contest, he ran under the Labour Party (LP) and finished third, behind Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu, according to the sources.
