Some indigenes of Abia State have taken a swipe at Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe following his recent remarks alleging that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential election, but that the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, was the actual winner. Reacting to Abaribe’s comments, several Abians accused the senator of hypocrisy, arguing that his own victory in the 2023 Abia South senatorial election was more questionable than the presidential election he criticized. According to them, the Labour Party candidate, Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu, was the rightful winner of the Abia South senatorial contest, but the election was allegedly manipulated…
