The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been told that winning through the electoral petition tribunal will not be easy.
Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, an evangelist turned politician, declared this in an interview with Daily Trust about the outcome of Nigeria’s presidential elections in 2023.
Ugochukwu-Uko, the founder of the Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) and Secretary General of the Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), discussed the results of the 2023 elections, particularly in the southeast.

He went on to say that restructuring is essential if Nigeria is to achieve progress and eliminate impunity.
The evangelist/politician revealed that he personally warned Peter Obi that going to the tribunal would be difficult, but he doesn’t want to say too much so as not to get dragged into election politics.
Asked about his take on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party who has gone to the tribunal, Ugochukwu-Uko replied: “I warned him face to face that dethroning and replacing the deity you have all worshipped and benefited from over the decades won’t be a piece of cake. That is the much I can say on this because I don’t want to be dragged into the election and the politics of it. My simple message to all is that a restructured Nigeria will make it impossible for this impunity to thrive. Nigeria has to be restructured without delay.”
