The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claims by supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, that their principal won Rivers State, describing the assertion as a product of “imagination.”

Wike spoke on Monday during an interview on TVC’s Journalists’ Hangout, where he was asked whether the support he enjoys in Rivers is organic, given the narrative by Obi’s supporters, popularly called Obidients, that their candidate won the state in the 2023 presidential election.

“They won by their own imagination,” he said. “Who did INEC declare to have won?”

The former Rivers State governor also questioned the strength of the claim, noting that it fell short when tested at the election petition tribunal.

“When they went to the tribunal, were they able to defend their claim?” he asked.

The FCT minister said the Obidients’ claim of victory was a matter for social media and not the ballot. “You can win on social media; I’m not interested in social media winning,” he added.

He also argued that no one could declare a winner from a single vantage point in the state, saying, “You don’t stay in one place in Port Harcourt and say Obi has won.” Rivers, he noted, the state capital has 23 Local Government Areas.

Challenging Obi’s supporters to back their claim with evidence, Wike said: “Let them produce that result sheet that says Obi won.”

Dalohad:
Look at this proud common criminal that rigged Rivers state votes by killing voters, bribing INEC officials and writing results in his bedroom in Obio Akpor trying to swindle us about what we already know .


Even Tinubu supporters were begging INEC to remove the rigged Rivers votes from Tinubu's total votes, because they fear it would negatively affect Tinubu at tribubal and courts. The daylight rigging was so obvious and crude. The evidence stuck out hard and stubborn like phallus of Priapus the Greek god.

Ofcourse that's Wike's methodology, always crude and unrefined way of rigging.

Rigging with guts.. Naija politics

How Dem wan take produce evidence when they didn't have polling units agents. Obidients mostly run their affairs on social media

ddippset:
NoYou should have sense enough to know that having no polling agents is not a prerequisite for fair election, neither is it a proof of fair election.

In a country, not in an animal society. In a country where people behave like higher animals not lower animals, you don't need agents for the electoral commission to conduct proper elections.

Your assertion is flawed and your logic st1nks.

helinues:
Mr Over sense, whose responsibility is that LP did not have enough agents across the polling units?
