Tinubu, in a keenly contested poll, defeated his opponents, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi to emerge winner of the February 25 election.
There have been several lawsuits seeking a stoppage of the inauguration, alleging that Tinubu and the vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima are unqualified to even contest in the election.DAILY POST reports that delegates and some power brokers from across the world are currently in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to witness the long-awaited inauguration of Tinubu and his vice.
He said, “The election was nothing but a sham and even the one declared winner knows that he didn’t win the election. There is evidence everywhere indicating that the election was rigged. “Let us even assume that the figures are correct, the person that they crowned winner had over 8 million votes, the second and third had over 6 million votes each and the fourth also had over 1 million votes.
However, in a counter reaction, Pastor Ayodele Johnson of the same ministry, told DAILY POST that Bola Tinubu’s emergence as the next president of the country was the total will of God. “So if we have prayed and fasted for the election and we now have a winner, we should tell ourselves the truth that God wanted that person to win.
There also came calls for an interim government, though it was greeted with heavy criticism, causing a stir in the political space.
