Nyesom Wike has challenged supporters of Peter Obi to produce a result sheet showing that Obi won Rivers State in the 2023 presidential election, according to Premium Times. Wike also questioned why Obi’s supporters did not establish the claim during the legal process that challenged the presidential election. The supplied material does not identify the occasion or forum in which Wike made the remarks.

It likewise does not provide the result sheet sought by Wike, give the results for Rivers State or state how the courts addressed the claim during the earlier legal proceedings. The challenge is directed at supporters of Obi rather than described as a new legal filing. No response from Obi, his supporters or any election authority is included in the material provided.

The available report therefore records Wike’s demand for documentary evidence and his question about the timing of the claim. It does not independently establish who won Rivers State or resolve the dispute over the 2023 result.
