The All Progressives Congress (APC) says Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, is “trying to steal” Bola Tinubu’s mandate as the president-elect. On Monday, the LP candidate said he was challenging the process leading to the declaration of Tinubu as the president-elect.

He had also refuted claims that he was planning to hold an ‘end INEC’, ‘end Nigeria’ protest in the country.
Tinubu was on March 11, declared the winner of the February 25 presidential election. 

In a statement on Friday, Bayo Onanuga, director, media, and publicity of the APC  campaign council, said Obi is “pushing a false narrative”. Onanuga said the LP candidate is “appealing to tribal and religious sentiments” without shame. He added that Obi’s statements are “a contempt of court” — seeking justice in court and still “embarking on a mission of intimidating the judiciary”

Onanuga said the party is worried about the “misleading, criminally false, and inciting statements” by the LP candidate.

“The defeated Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi still goes around inflaming passions, spreading lies as if he is still campaigning for the highest office in the land, weeks after the exercise was concluded and a winner announced,” the statement reads. 

“We are worried about his recent media rounds in which he made profoundly misleading, criminally false, and inciting statements about the election that he lost woefully.

“From the false narrative Obi has been pushing, he is the one trying to steal Bola Tinubu’s mandate, by appealing unashamedly to tribal and religious sentiments and by resorting to his sickening penchant for lying bold-facedly to snatch what does not belong to him.

“We consider Obi’s TV statements as prejudicial to the case he has filed and contemptuous of the court.” The party spokesperson called on security agencies to call the former Anambra governor to order. 

“We call on the security agencies to caution him from further making incendiary remarks, especially after he claimed he is challenging the results of the election in the tribunal,” he said. 

“We also advise the NBC to caution TV houses giving Obi the platform to de-legitimise a free and fair election when he has taken his case to court.”

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1 KJV).

Bayo Onanuga, that buffoon with beards like Iron sponge and Thiefnubuu's excreta filling up his skull.When the interim military government takes over, you will beg for TRUE democracy and you won't have it, since you don't believe in it. Send more thugs to kill voters for trying to vote against APC..

"Mr Onanuga did not clarify whether or not Mr Tinubu could be held responsible by the law since he was the candidate whose signature appeared on the falsified document filed under oath.

Mr Onanuga said Nigerians should disregard perjury charges against Mr Tinubu because he has not held any political office since he concluded his two terms in 2007, until earlier this month when he clinched the presidential nomination of the ruling party...."

Bayo Onanuga, Mr Tinubu’s campaign aide did not immediately reply to messages seeking clarification on his principal’s contradictory statements.
