Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has said he is happy that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu became Nigeria’s president, despite maintaining that he won the 2023 presidential election.

Obi made the statement while reflecting on the outcome of the 2023 election and what he described as God’s plan for Nigeria.

‘I Won in 2023’

Speaking about the 2023 presidential election, Obi maintained that he emerged victorious but was not declared the winner.

“I won in 2023 and I was not declared winner. I’m happy that Tinubu became the president,” he said.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Tinubu the winner of the 2023 presidential election, while Atiku Abubakar came second and Obi finished third.

Obi has, however, consistently maintained that the election results did not reflect the actual outcome of the election.

‘God Designed It’

The NDC presidential candidate said he believes Tinubu’s emergence was part of a divine plan for the country.

“God designed it that Buhari will be president and that after him Tinubu would come,” he stated.

According to Obi, the developments currently taking place in Nigeria are serving a greater purpose by exposing those he believes have contributed to the problems within the country’s system.

“God wanted to show that he’s God. That’s why what is happening now is happening so that those destroying the system will be exposed. He wanted to open the eyes of Nigerians,” he said.

Obi Heads Into 2027 Election

Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Labour Party, is now seeking the presidency in 2027 as the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.

His latest remarks come as political activities ahead of the 2027 general election continue to gather momentum.
