I will congratulate president-elect when court proves INEC result – Peterside

A foremost economist and founder of Anap Foundation, Atedo Peterside, has said that he will congratulate the winner of the 2023 presidential election when the court proves that the results were correctly uploaded by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

He said this in an interview with Arise Television on Wednesday.

Peterside went on to say that the results uploaded by the INEC during the presidential election are an insult to anyone’s intelligence.

He said, “If they go through this process and the judges convince us everything was done correctly and we adopt the numbers, whoever is the winner, I will congratulate the person.

“But for now it is premature. When I can see with my own eyes what INEC has uploaded, it is an insult to everybody’s intelligence; it is premature. People who are rushing to congratulate him have not taken the trouble to even look at the available information or the evidence.”
