Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, says the electoral process cannot be perfect and devoid of manipulations in some areas but politicians must accept the result of a free and fair elections.

Mr Tinubu disclosed this to journalists on Saturday at his home in Lagos, while insisting that he would emerge president from Saturday’s election because he had worked harder than other candidates.

“A democrat, a trust democrat, must accept the result of a free and fair elections. As a democrat, you must have faith in the system. Once you have faith in the system, it is not a problem to accept the result of a free and fair elections,” Mr Tinubu said when asked if he would accept the result of Saturday’s election if he loses.

Mr Tinubu disclosed this to journalists on Saturday at his home in Lagos, while insisting that he would emerge president from Saturday’s election because he had worked harder than other candidates.

“A democrat, a trust democrat, must accept the result of a free and fair elections. As a democrat, you must have faith in the system. Once you have faith in the system, it is not a problem to accept the result of a free and fair elections,” Mr Tinubu said when asked if he would accept the result of Saturday’s election if he loses.

“Perception is one thing. On rare occasions that you have skirmishes and lack of confidence, it is created by the politicians. Not the electoral process. In the electoral process we cannot see 100 per cent perfection. People have to tolerate that. Equally when you are talking of manipulation in some areas, you have to evaluate what is material. Materiality comes to play. How many compared to total turn out or total who voted. You’ve got to accept the result of a fairly responsible voter’s decision,” he added.

In Lagos, Mr Tinubu’s home state, Nigerians witnessed disruption of the electoral process on Saturday by thugs suspected to be loyal to the former two-term governor of Lagos, while the late arrival of INEC’s staff and failure of BVAS affected the process in some parts of the country.

Mr Tinubu, 70, is up against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

He will be put to shame,druggie will be defeated

This heading is misleading.
Let's be sincere.

Old fool

You should be ashamed that the so structureless party is giving you a serious run for the soul of Lagos

I learnt you've resorted to rigging but you will be so disgraced

Hmmmmm. It is well

Because, he's seeing defeat!

He is losing while thinking his dimwit corrupt APC governors can do some magic

The truth is all party would rig but the best rigger will emerge. No candidate is a saint in this election. I must commend Peter Obi for his performance so far

This criminal had so much fate in Rigging. He sent out thugs to kill and rig and claiming its not perfect. That's how he has always 'won' Lagos.

The people will stand against him this time. Enough!

I don't even know what to type

Stop spreading fake news

Defending his boys rigging for him

Nothing new! That is anything APC for you.

Agbero founder.

Just imagine?

What else can you expect from Him?

MadeInTokyo:

What is the difference between Rigging and Manipulation...oga better go and check your dictionary or use Google
Rigging and Manipulation means cheating they are the same synonyms

E be like saying brain dey pain you?


Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, says the electoral process cannot be perfect and devoid of manipulations in some areas but politicians must accept the result of a free and fair elections. What's the lie in the above?

You think being stupidly sentimental would win you an election?

Look at how the paper twisted his words. Trust Nigerians, they won't read the body of the news to verify if he truly made that statement. Bunch of illiterates.

Power to the people
PDP!!!

It can be more perfect than the rubbish that went on yesterday. It's like the rigging had already commenced b4 the elections sef.

BAT 2023

We expected your wailing and tears,we are not surprised

Tinubu is a born criminal
