The Afenifere leader's letter read further:
“I now appeal to all concerned Nigerians and the International Community, who might be aggrieved, one way or the other, not do anything that will set Nigeria on fire."
Peter Obi speaks to Nigerians, says he won 2023 presidential election
Meanwhile, Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the last presidential election, addressed Nigerians on the conduct and results of the poll.
Legit.ng reported that after observing a minute silence for the victims of violence across the country during Saturday, February 25, presidential and National Assembly elections, Obi made it clear that this is the first time he will address the media either directly or indirectly after taking part in the voting exercise in Anambra.
During a press briefing, the LP presidential candidate noted that he will reclaim his mandate, arguing that the electoral process was not what Nigerians were promised.
Obi expressed gratitude to all Nigerians, especially Obidients who came out en masse to exercise their franchise by voting.
