ITS ALL LIES!!! Findings Show Peter Obi Did Not Win In 19 States During Presidential Election—The claims that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, won the 2023 presidential election in 19 states have been described as misleading.
This online news platform gathered that following the irregularities that marred the collation of results, there were speculations online last week that Peter Obi, who came third with six million votes won the election.
The spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, Dino Melaye also shared the claims of LP winning in 19 states.
Subsequently, the former governor of Anambra State in his first speech after the election claimed that he won the election and would prove his victory in court.
However, a fact-checking organization, Dubawa, said Peter Obi did not win in 19 states based on data from the website of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
It said results from polling units across Nigeria were yet to be entirely uploaded on the IReV portal adding that the report of Peter Obi winning 19 states was a poll conducted by Nextier on January 27, 2023.
The report read: “DUBAWA visited the INEC’s result viewing porta at 05:47 pm on March 7, 2023, only results from 164,233 polling units have been uploaded on the IREV portal representing 92.87% of the total 176,846 polling units.
“This means the results of 12,613 polling units nationwide had yet to be uploaded on the IReV portal.
“It is, therefore, misleading to dismiss the result announced by INEC and claim that Mr Obi won 19 states, including the FCT.
“Also, the result uploaded by a Facebook user, Mazi Chiemena Samuel, which showed Labour Party’s victory in about 18 states, including the FCT, is not from the IReV portal. Instead, it is a report from a poll conducted by Nextier on January 27, 2023.”
