The APC said Obi did not establish his case in court, but blamed the “courts for not awarding him victory – not because he won the election, not because he proved his case in court as required by law, but because he is Peter Obi.”
The APC described Obi’s “haughty sense of entitlement,” which “seems to pervade his vitriolic attack on our institutions,” as his “greatest undoing throughout the electioneering season.”
“Taken by the mass hysteria of his vociferous netizens and fringe supporters, 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.
“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.”
Welcoming his statement that he will play a strong opposition, the APC urged 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.”
