Speaking on behalf of the caucus, Deputy Minority Whip George Ozodinobi described the election as “the highest theft of the season,” alleging that the electorate's votes were stolen, and their will disregarded. Flanked by fellow caucus members, Ozodinobi criticized the outcome, pointing out that despite a vigorous campaign by the Labour Party and its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Akpata was unfairly allocated a small number of votes.

“It is on record that our leader and presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, His Excellency Peter Obi, campaigned vigorously for our gubernatorial candidate in every nook and cranny of the state. The massive crowds that the Obidient movement pulled during the campaign were evident to all,” said Ozodinobi. He highlighted the Labour Party's strong political presence in the state, noting that just a year and seven months ago, the party secured one Senator and two House of Representatives seats in Edo.

When asked if the Labour Party would contest the election results in court, Ozodinobi stated that consultations are ongoing.
