In a statement released on Friday, Alake argued that Obi's insistence contradicts official records confirming President Bola Tinubu's victory. He emphasized that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the election tribunal, and even the Supreme Court upheld Tinubu's win.
Alake's statement condemned Obi's remarks as a display of "a troubling lack of character, candor, and dignity." He criticized the former Anambra State governor for making claims without substantiation, suggesting that such behavior does not reflect the integrity expected from a presidential aspirant.
The APC campaign council expressed frustration at Obi's repeated assertions of victory, pointing out that he finished third in the election. They labeled his approach as a disregard for facts and accused him of exaggerating his claims.
"Where is Obi sourcing his facts? Could it be from his infamous adviser or from an 'Obedient' supporter in California or Dallas?" the statement questioned, dismissing Obi's narrative as unfounded.
The council firmly reiterated that President Tinubu decisively won the election, urging Obi to accept the reality of the situation. "There can be no doubt about it," they stated, reinforcing that the electoral process was validated at multiple levels of the judiciary.
Alake also highlighted Tinubu's ongoing efforts to fulfill his mandate through key economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and creating job opportunities. He called on Obi to act honorably and adhere to a previous pledge to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race if evidence of mismanagement in Anambra State was substantiated.
In conclusion, the APC campaign council's statement accused Obi of a pattern of behavior that undermines credible political discourse and urged him to reflect on the facts rather than indulge in unfounded claims.
