The statement quoted Obi's to have said:

“'To win in democracy is to win the people. The declared winner, Bola Tinubu, did not win- that is what we are challenging…’ Later, he clarified in his moments of sobriety, after leaving the studio, that what he wanted to challenge was the process of declaring the winner."

Onanuga said it is ridiculous for Obi to claim to describe the result of the poll as ‘his stolen mandate’, echoing the views of his "unthinking mob of supporters".
