Obi, who spoke on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Monday, said that despite Wike’s antagonism, he won tin Rivers by “over 50 percent” in the presidential election if the “real votes” were counted.

The LP presidential candidate said those who voted for him did not do so on the basis of ethnicity because they knew what he stood for. He added that he even got more votes from Lagos indigenes than those referred to as “visitors.”

He said, “In the South-East, it is a similar situation, people know me, people know what I stand for, people know I have kept my promises. People know I’ve kept to what I have said.

“It is a simple thing, people go about and say, oh! he got votes in Lagos because of the Igbo, and I ask how many Igbos live in Lagos? I got more votes from indigenes in Lagos than those who you can call visitors.

“Are the Igbo in Nasarawa, are the Igbo in Plateau, are the Igbo in Abuja? In Rivers, where you know that the governor came out against me and everything, I still… If the real votes of Rivers were counted, Reuben, I won. I had over 50 something per cent of the vote.

The other two parties were sharing the others,” he said.

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi said he has no grudges with Bola Tinubu, stressing that he is only challenging the outcome of the presidential election.
