Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Obi addressed Nigerians on the conduct and results of the February 25 presidential elections.

He expressed gratitude to all Nigerians, especially Obidients who came out en masse to exercise their franchise by voting for him. The former Anambra state governor argued that he won the election and will prove it, insisting that a new Nigeria is possible and that he will work for it.

He also claimed that the 2023 presidential election was a clear deviation from what Nigerians were promised.
