By Christopher The Great According to a Video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Channels Television, In a tense and revealing interview, a prominent political voice in APC has reignited the firestorm surrounding Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election, declaring with unwavering certainty that the man officially declared as president (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) was not the true winner. With emotions running high and no hesitation in his words, the speaker delivered a direct and defiant statement that cuts to the heart of a deeply divided nation: “Peter won that election, not the one they announced.” The accusation didn’t come in whispers. It was said with the conviction of someone who claims to have seen the results firsthand. “We had monitors on the field. We had agents in the field. We collected our data. We know our results. We know the figures that came in from the field,” the speaker explained. “We can see clearly the points at which the results were altered.” This isn’t just a claim of electoral fraud. It’s a claim that democracy itself was betrayed. According to the speaker, the numbers the public received were not the numbers gathered at polling units across the country. In his view, the entire process was compromised from within, manipulated until the final announcement no longer reflected the will of the people. At the center of this storm is Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, whose campaign struck a chord with millions of frustrated, disillusioned Nigerians, especially the youth. Many saw him as a breath of fresh air in a political landscape dominated by long-standing power brokers. That Obi came third in the official result was, to his supporters, not just disappointing, it was suspicious. The man declared winner, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assumed office amid controversy, facing legal challenges and fierce public criticism. Though the courts upheld his victory, the interview exposes how for some, judicial rulings mean little when lived experience tells another story. “The result available to us at that time suggests he didn’t win the election,” the speaker said, brushing off the court’s decision. “But the court says otherwise.” In many democracies, trust in institutions is what holds the entire system together. In Nigeria, that trust is fragile, and according to critics, increasingly fractured. When asked if he believed in the court, the speaker offered a heavy, almost resigned reply: “I believe in the court. What can you do? They are there. They are supposed to do their duties. They are doing their duties. It’s not about believing.” His words echo the quiet despair and frustration of millions who feel unheard and dismissed by a system that seems immune to accountability. The idea that victory can be stolen not just through votes, but through silence and bureaucracy, is a haunting one. And for those who stood behind Peter Obi with hope and conviction, the official result felt like a slap in the face. In the interview, it was also revealed that Obi’s surprise victory in Lagos, Tinubu’s stronghold, stunned political analysts and insiders. “They didn’t understand the demographics of Lagos very well at that time,” the speaker said. “It was a shocker.” That shock, he argued, led to voter suppression efforts in subsequent state and local elections, a calculated response to the unexpected strength of Obi’s support base. But perhaps the most chilling part of the interview wasn’t the accusations of rigging or the distrust in the court. It was the quiet certainty with which the speaker insisted that the truth is already known. Not hidden. Not waiting for some future revelation. Known. Documented. And yet, ignored. This claim, that Peter Obi won an election that the world was told he lost, will continue to haunt Nigeria’s political memory. Whether or not history vindicates the claim, it has already cemented itself in the hearts of those who believe that democracy failed them in 2023. 10 Likes

I said it that one day, someone in APC without fear or favour will come out boldly to revealed that Peter Obi won 2023 Election. Don't ask me who said so, go to Channel TV YouTube to see for yourself. He's an APC member. The victory of 2023 election will continue to hurt those who rubbed Nigerians off their mandate for selfish reasons. 22 Likes |

Shawarmagirl:Seeing all these theories should not be a surprise to a sane mind because it is a nightmare for bigoted Ibo seeing a Yoruba man defeat him in an election. People that believe Buhari was cloned even when same man still present budget to the joint house and interacted with many people. The law of democracy in Nigeria stated that SW doesn't need SE votes to win the presidential election but SE cannot win the presidential election without SW vote, the earlier our brothers from the SE accept this fundamental the quicker their way to the presidency. Nzogbu nzogbu and campaign of calumny cannot win them spoon not to talk of winning them a sit in the Villa 20 Likes |

Ttalk:Ogade it was a Northern Elder who stated this fact in an interview. Why not direct your fr@ustr@t!0ns at him instead of mentioning Igbo in your post? Why do you guys always behave like chickens at the mention of "NORTHERNERS" but always ready to masturbate when you hear Igbo? The truth is it's the North who want Tinubu out of Aso-rock & not the Igbos. ADC is even a Northern idea. Una sabi fear oh! 13 Likes |
