In a statement issued on Friday, the ruling party slammed the former Anambra governor for repeatedly condemning President-elect Bola Tinubu’s victory.
Bayo Onanuga, APC PCC’s Director of Media and Publicity, responded to some statements Obi made during recent television interviews.
“The defeated Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi is still agitating people,” the spokesperson said.
Onanuga claimed Obi has been spreading lies as if he is still campaigning for the highest office in the land, despite the fact that the election has ended and a winner has been announced.
Onanuga chastised Obi for making “profoundly misleading, criminally false, and inciting statements about the election that he lost woefully” during his media appearances on Arise TV and Channels TV.

The director complained that Obi derided the poll, calling it the worst election in recent history and comparing it to robbery at one point.
Onanuga said Obi made the ridiculous claim about a stolen mandate, “echoing the position of his unthinking mob of supporters, who believe that he won the election because of some sponsored polls.
“Obi came third, not even second, losing by 2.6 million votes to Sen. Bola Tinubu, APC candidate and the President-elect, despite getting outrageously padded votes from his ethnic South-East states.”.
According to the statement, the APC PCC viewed Obi’s comments on TV as prejudicial to the case he had filed and disrespectful of the court.
