Hon Charles Idahosa, A Chieftain of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, has said that there is nothing spectacular about the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, but that the votes he got were a protest from the majority of Nigerians who were tired of the two major parties; the PDP and All Progressive Congress, APC.

"In the recent disclosure by the Department of the State Services, DSS, of plots to foist interim Government in the country and other issues, Idahosa commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for conducting an election that threw up many upsets which he said we're near impossible in past elections in the country.

He said: "I saw it coming, but I won't give the credit to the Labour Party because as far as I am concerned the LP is not a political party, I saw the LP achievement as a continuation of the # ENDSARS protest and I kept telling my people that it will happen like that.

A lot of these young people were voting for the first time, people were fed up. They were not happy with the APC, they were looking for where to put their hope, they needed a change, and they did not care who was the person and then Peter Obi appeared. Peter Obi was just lucky, not that he is extraordinary because I have interacted with him.

On the disclosure by the SSS, Hon Idahosa said "Can you imagine any person contemplating taking us back to June 12? The interim Government led us to the crisis and all the problems we are having now so I think I am happy that the SSS is already aware and it is their duty as security agencies to make sure that they do what they have to do

Hon Idahosa said the INEC should be commended for the election that produced so many upsets rather than condemnation, "An election where sitting governors were losing senate seats, Tinubu lost Lagos, the Presidential candidate lost Katsina, the DG of the APC Campaign Council lost Plateau, Governor Ortom of Benue State lost his senatorial ambition and somebody will still come out to say that the election was rigged but in the South -East, it was okay where no single presidential candidate scored up to 20 percent, I am so disappointed, you don't talk like that, we must allow this country to grow."
