Middle-Belt Coalition urges Obi to move on.

A group of Civil Society Organizations, operating under the Middle-Belt Pan Nigerian Forum, has called on Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, to accept the results of the 2023 Nigerian general elections and move forward.

The coalition responded to Obi’s continuous criticism of the outcome of the 2023 presidential election. In his remarks on Saturday, Obi expressed his belief that the previous general election was marred by fraudulent activities and widespread irregularities.

The Civil Society Organizations have urged Obi to reconsider his stance and respect the democratic process by accepting the results of the election and focusing on the future.

He wrote:


“Nigeria’s 2023 election, with less than 30% of Voter turnout, over 60% of the polling stations starting late, and no diaspora voting, the elections were plagued by allegations of fraud and widespread irregularities, all forms of glitches, despite an enormous expenditure to the tune of about a billion dollars (direct allocation of =N=313 Billion and donor agencies support).

“With about 60% Voter turnout, over 90% of polling open on time, allowing diaspora voting, the results and updates were real-time without any form of technical glitches during the election.”
