ABUJA, Nigeria – The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has disowned statement credited to it in the media that its witness, Chief Ndubisi Nwobu said Peter Obi rigged the presidential election against the party at the ongoing Presidential Election Tribunal, PET

In a statement, Uloka Chibuike Deputy Director Media and Publicity, Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Committee Anambra State described the media report as fake, total falsehood and wickedness.

The Tribunal went further to ask Chief Nwobu who won the election in Anambra State; he responded explicitly that the Labour Party won the presidential election in the state and that his party is not in court with the Labour Party but with INEC, having reneged on her own guidelines. While we call on unsuspecting members of the public to  kindly disregard the fake news that Chief Ndubisi Nwobu accused Peter Obi of rigging the presidential elections

“This is not only falsehood, wickedness, and devilishness, but also a deliberate attempt by a few innuendos to discredit and blackmail Chief Nwobu’s person.

The PDP said it did not file any petition against Labour Party at the PET and wonders where the report could have emanated from.

“We wish to state unequivocally and for the record that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not file a petition against the Labour Party, nor did the PDP name the Labour Party as a respondent in her suits at the ongoing Presidential Election Petition Court; rather, our petitions are against the All Progressives Congress Party (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“Chief Ndubisi Nwobu was at the Tribunal on the 7th day of June, 2023, as the 11th witness of HE, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to testify against INEC’s refusal to adhere to its own election guidelines, which state that polling unit results are to be electronically transmitted with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) directly and in real-time to the IREV portal. Chief Ndubisi Nwobu did not, by any means or disguise, state that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, ‘rigged’ the presidential election in Anambra State or anywhere else.

“The Tribunal went further to ask Chief Nwobu who won the election in Anambra State; he responded explicitly that the Labour Party won the presidential election in the state and that his party is not in court with the Labour Party but with INEC, having reneged on her own guidelines. While we call on unsuspecting members of the public to  kindly disregard the fake news that Chief Ndubisi Nwobu accused Peter Obi of rigging the presidential elections in Anambra State, we also wish to warn online bloggers against patronizing stories with sensational headlines without proper investigations, as expected by journalists and all news merchants.

“The PDPand Atiku Abubakar, GCON, its presidential candidate, are determined to present all evidence against INEC and the All Progressives Congress Party to convince the Presidential Election Petition Court that the mandate willingly given to Atiku Abubakar by the majority of Nigerians was wrongly appropriated and that such matters must be addressed to retrieve the mandate from the APC.

‘Those wishing to divert attention, frame and defame innocent individuals should desist or face the consequences of their actions. PS: Attached documents are the statement on oath of Chief Ndubisi Nwobu as a witness for Atiku Abubakar and the PDP at the Tribunal.
