The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the press conference earlier today by the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last election, Mr Peter Obi.
Obi had decried the ruling of the Supreme Court affirming Bola Tinubu as the president of the country and wondered why the apex court justices ignored the case of forgery and identity theft against Tinubu.
Reacting to Obi’s media briefing, Felix Morka, APC spokesman, said, “Obi’s gross inability to distinguish between his warped version of public opinion and reality has been his greatest undoing throughout the electioneering season.”
He added:
“Taken by the mass hysteria of his vociferous netizens and fringe supporters, Mr Obi ensconced himself in alternate reality, a parallel political universe of self-delusion.
“As “someone who has previously benefited from the rulings of the Supreme Court on electoral matters”, Obi’s acerbic attack on the judiciary only belies his arrogance and vainness.
“When the same courts previously decided in his favor, the courts were beacons of democracy. Now that the decisions are against him, all of a sudden, the courts have betrayed democracy.
“Mr Obi, it cannot always be about you. It must always be about our country. Cases are not won on public opinion; they are won on evidence and the law. You failed on both counts.
“We welcome Mr Obi’s decision to engage in opposition politics going forward. We urge Obi and his Labour Party to do so maturely and constructively and contribute to the important task of building a safer, stronger and more prosperous country for us all.”
