Peter Obi Denies Claims of Winning 45 Million Votes in NDC Primary
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has dismissed a viral report alleging he won 45 million votes in a purported presidential primary election of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his media office spokesperson Ibrahim Umar, the office said no such primary election was ever held and that no results or figures were generated from any such process.
The statement noted that the circulating 45‑million‑vote figures are entirely false and have no basis in reality.
It urged the public, supporters and media organisations to disregard the report and warned that those spreading it are attempting to misrepresent Obi and link him to fraudulent narratives.
The media office added that official information about Obi’s political activities will only be released through verified and authorised channels, and that he should not be associated with any report concerning a primary election that never took place.
