The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, being declared the victor of the February 25th presidential election.
Remember that the former Governor of Lagos State was adjudged the victor of the hotly contested position by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after garnering a larger voter turnout than his rivals from other political parties.
According to the results provided to INEC by State Collation Officers, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, finished second to Tinubu, while the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, finished third.
