A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that Labour Party, LP, candidate, Peter Obi, won the 2023 presidential election in Rivers State.
Amaechi stated this while speaking during an X Space discussion on Saturday.
“I can agree with you to some extent 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.
