Ireti Kingibe, senator-elect of the FCT under LP, says Peter Obi won the presidential election in Abuja because the FCT is difficult to rig.
Ireti Kingibe, senator-elect, says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party , won in the federal capital territory because it’s difficult to rig in the city.In an interview with Arise TV on Friday, Kingibe said the LP worked hard to ensure that Obi got over 25 percent of votes in the FCT.
“Now, even in these elections, there were so many irregularities, a lot of places where I could also come and say ‘Yes, I won and I won by a huge margin’ but there were so many places where there was irregularities and rigging. I think my votes would have been a lot more but at the end of the day you can only do those things at the collation centre.
“Its always been understood that every presidential candidate must win 25% in the FCT, it is in the constitution, its always been understood,” she said.
