Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election not Tinubu says Babachir Lawal. A former Secretary to the Federal Government, Babachir Lawal, said that the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, won the February 25 presidential election, and not Bola Tinubu.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Tinubu as the winner of the election.
Also, the presidential election petition tribunal affirmed Tinubu’s election.
However, Babachir Lawal in a statement on Tuesday claimed that data from independent sources indicated that Obi had majority votes while Atiku came second in the election.
According to him, Bola Tinubu came a distant third in the number of votes scored.
The statement partly read, “I have resisted the temptation to engage in the contemporary political discourse since the May 2023 election faux pas.
“But this, notwithstanding, I believe he still has time and opportunity to save himself this public humiliation and embarrassment to his person, both locally and internationally by resigning so that he can give more attention to his health.
“After all, no one knows about the truism of these severely embarrassing and humiliating exposures about his person than the man himself.
“Leadership is all about integrity; sound pedigree, trustworthiness, and the ability to unite and instil hope and confidence in the people one seeks to lead. In these qualities, most Nigerians are in total agreement that Bola has them in very very short supply indeed, ” the statement added.
Lawal said Tinubu had yet to appoint any competent person into office.
He said, “Bola the President, and his group are now in government and are in full control of Nigeria’s vast resources and opportunities. They are enjoying their offices while Nigerians languish in insecurity, poverty and hopelessness.
“During the campaign, Bola mouthed some platitudes about competence; but we are so far yet to see it reflected in his political appointments. It seems more like he is rewarding people who supported him to get the Presidency at all costs “This band of appointees that Bola is assembling into his government don’t care about Nigeria at all.
“Fuel prices will continue to gallop upwards until only they can afford it; the Naira will continue to race downhill in a free-fall until only they can afford anything in the market; insecurity will continue its escalation until every community in the nation is consumed by it”.
