Peter Obi Debunks US APC Accusation Over Protest.
The USA APC Chairman, Professor Tai Balofin, had accused Mr. Obi of sponsoring the protest against the victory of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC.
In a statement released by Balofin, He said: “We wish to inform the public that a group of the Nigerian 2023 Presidential election losers are currently protesting at the park in front of the White House. It is important to note that the US government is not involved or supporting the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest.
“We also wish to state that this protest was sponsored by Peter Obi, who lost the election in Nigeria. It is our belief that Nigeria’s presidential election was free and fair, and Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu won the election.
Reacting to this statement, Mr. Obi, through his campaign spokesman, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, distanced himself from the protest, saying he has been at the vanguard of urging his supporters to remain calm while he seeks to reclaim his mandate through due process.
