PRESIDENTIAL POLL: PETER OBI DISAGREES WITH US APC OVER WHITE HOUSE PARK PROTEST

The Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has disagreed with the United States of America chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, over sponsors of a protest against the outcome of the 2023 presidential poll at the Park opposite White House, US.

In a statement by the USA APC Chairman, Professor Tai Balofin, accused Mr. Obi of sponsoring the protest against the victory of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC, who he said won a free and fair election after beating Obi and 16 other opponents.
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.

Protests in front of White House

Balofin 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 in support of the protest as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest.
