Atiku won 2023 presidential election, PDP replies Lai Mohammed
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday insisted that its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, clearly won the February 25, 2023 presidential election judging, according to the main opposition party, by the actual votes cast at the polling units across the country.
A statement on Sunday by Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, described the subjudice claims by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that the opposition lost the election, as yet another in the series of attempts by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Executive to bully and blackmail the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
It invited Nigerians to note that Mohammed’s comment is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari made similar subjudice comment in his widely condemned attempt to justify the rigging of the Presidential election, which case is pending before the Tribunal.
The statement added: “It is indeed appalling that Lai Mohammed could attempt to defend the outcome of a fraudulently conducted election which has been adjudged as the worst in the history of elections in Nigeria and which has attracted nationwide and international outrage against the Buhari administration.
“By stating that President Buhari deserved ‘accolades’ for conducting a globally condemned Presidential election and describing well-meaning Nigerians as ‘shameless sore losers,” Lai Mohammed has further confirmed the complicity of the Buhari administration, in which he serves as mouthpiece, in one of the most reprehensible election swindles in the history of democracy.”
The PDP said it was however not surprised that Mohammed will continue in the trajectory of the Buhari-led APC administration which is notorious for lying, deceit and falsehood.
