Rotimi Amaechi, a former Minister of Transport, says Peter Obi, a candidate for the Labour Party (LP), won the 2023 Rivers State presidential election.
This was said by Amaechi during a conversation on X Space on Saturday.
“To a certain degree, I concur with you that Obi won Rivers State.
“But I don’t know how the results were changed,” Amaechi said.
Amaechi’s comments add another twist to the controversy over the outcome of the February 2023 election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, announced President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner.
INEC declared that the APC garnered 231,591 votes in Rivers State, while LP polled 175,071 votes.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, finished third with 88,468 votes.
