Adebanjo: There’s no President-elect, what we’ve got is a sham

Ayo Adebanjo, the leader of the apex Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has said that Nigeria currently does not have a President-elect, regardless of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declaring Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

In a recent interview with Arise TV, Pa Adebanjo insisted that what the country currently have is “a sham that will be pulled in due course.”

He said INEC jettisoned constitutional methodology and must explain to Nigerians why.

He said, “It is just the result of a bad government. A disaster that God will help us to get rid of. I can assure you there is no President-elect at all; it is just a sham that should be pulled in due course.

“This is a game we all see. We are all living witnesses to it. Why don’t you [INEC] follow the laws that will guide the elections?”

The 95-year-old said Tinubu’s camp in their attempt to reply to the groundswell of criticisms that trialed his controversial announcement as the winner of the presidential election, picked up the messengers and leave the messages which is the main issue.
