…Assemblies legal team to battle LP, PDP in court
President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described as nonsensical the insinuation that time variation in uploading results caused changes in figures of last Saturday’s 2023 presidential election.
He argued that the claim that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not use the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) was false.
Tinubu further maintained that those who voted across Nigeria, including candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi, were accredited with BVAS.
Speaking through the Media Directorate of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign (PCC) at a press conference held yesterday in Abuja, Tinubu described the 2023 presidential election as a watershed that produced unprecedented outcomes and defied conventions.
The APC-PCC also revealed that it has assembled legal team to battle the candidates of both the LP and the PDP in the court of law, threatening to match them force for force.
In the speech read by Special adviser on media and communication of the APC PCC, Dele Alake, they emphatically stated that the complaint over the electronic transmission of the result is not supported by law.
Evaluating the performance of the candidates, Alake said: “For Obi, he would go down as Nigeria’s most dangerous and divisive politician. He elevated his well-known clannish mentality to a most unfortunate height by openly anchoring his campaign on religion and ethnicity. He presented himself as a poster boy for and a champion of our country’s fault lines.
“He took advantage of our youths whose expectations are fast paced, who are uninterested in excuses, and who were in search of a hero. He pumped up their sentiments and rode on their emotions while grandstanding as a saviour. It was a false pretence. Obi’s credentials are eternally stained as a former governor with no remarkable legacy”, he further said.
