Election results: Mr P sends message to Peter Obi, Obidients after defeat to Tinubu
After their defeat in the 2023 presidential election, Mr. P of the P-Square music group delivered a message to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, and followers of the Obidient movement.
In a statement posted on his Twitter account on Wednesday night, Mr. P urged his followers to maintain composure and make a place for peace.
According to the results announced by Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday morning, Obi finished third in the race.
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won the election with a total of 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar and Obi, the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who each received 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533 votes.
There are rumours that there are plans for a large-scale demonstration across the nation in response to the INEC results, which many voters believe are different from what actually occurred at the polling places nationwide on Saturday.

Moreover, INEC’s failure to use the BVAS and transfer results from the polling places to its portal has caused resentment.
Mr. P reacting to Peter Obi’s loss told the Labour Party Candidate that his mandate cannot be denied but can only be delayed.
He also advised Obidients to be calm and embrace peace as they live to fight another day and asked that they allow the right people of the law to handle the case.
Mr. P threw shade at the electoral body, INEC, stating that they were corrupt.
He wrote;

Let’s all allow the right people of the law to handle the case.
