A spokesperson for Bola Tinubu (President-elect), Mr Bayo Onanuga, has warned the duo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party, LP, to
Onanuga alleged that both parties and their surrogates, whom he described as lawyers, clerics and some ethnic groups, had “mounted a desperate campaign for the postponement of the inauguration of the President-elect on May 29.
In a statement issued via his Twitter handle on Monday, Onanuga tackled the emeritus Catholic Bishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan for his claim that the election was rigged, saying the claim was nothing but a lie and a malicious propaganda told repeatedly by the opposition parties and their supporters.
The spokesman claimed that introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, made a significant difference in the 2023 elections, which he described as the best since the return to democracy in 1999. He insisted it was because “the outcome of the election, especially the presidential election did not match their expectation.”“I have witnessed many elections since 1979 and I can say without any equivocation that the 2023 election was the best, the most free and fair, the most transparent.
