•No fake news in saying Obi, Datti are inviting insurrection

The federal government said yesterday that many foreign commentators were astonished by the outcome of the 2023 Presidential election because of their wrong mindset, prior to the polls.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated this in London during his engagements with some international media organisations and think tanks.

The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports the minister is in London to defend the legitimacy of the just concluded general elections and correct the imbalance in the skewed narratives which had pervaded the air regarding the polls.

The minister has so far engaged with three international media organisations, namely The Economist, The Guardian and African Confidential, as well as Think Tank, Royal African Society.

During his respective meeting with them, the minister said some of the commentators had the wrong mindset that the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would win the election.

He said the wrong mindset was premised on the hyped activities of Labour Party and their supporters on the social media, as well as the outcomes of various opinion polls which were unrepresentative of the situation in Nigeria.

The minister said: “In the course of my interactions, particularly with the Economist, I referred them to an earlier article they wrote, in which they rated the Labour Party Presidential candidate as the front runner in the polls.

“I explained to them that there was no way a presidential candidate who has no political spread and a grassroots base could win an election in Nigeria.

“I also explained to them that many of them were ignorant of the constitutional requirements for a presidential candidate to win an election in Nigeria.

“For instance, not only that the candidate must have the plurality of votes, he must also have one-quarter of the total vote cast in at least 25 states of the federation.

“When you look at the results, only the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress and the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, met these requirements.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, came short of these because he came second and had 25 per cent in 21 states. Obi came far behind with 25 per cent in 15 states.

“This means that Obi, who was wrongly adjudged as a front runner in the election, was virtually unknown and unpopular in 22 states.”

He reiterated his position that there was no pathway to victory for either Atiku or Obi in the poll because they did not meet the conditions to be declared president.

“For any party to ignore the North-East and the North-West Zones of Nigeria during a presidential election, it will be impossible for it to win.

“The election had thrown up a lot of surprises and it is precisely those surprises that made it credible and transparent, “he said.

On the issue of large turnout of youths for voter registration before the election, the minister explained that winning an election was beyond registration.

`What INEC did was to ensure the extension of voter registration exercise for about 18 months so that people will not be disenfranchised.

“However, it is one thing to register to vote and it is another thing to come out to vote on an election day.

“Those 24 million people that came out to vote during the polls were the authentic people that concluded the processes of election,” he said.

The minister said INEC should be praised for the introduction and the strict usage of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

He said BVAS was a technology that paved the way for check-and-balance and prevented fraud and other irregularities during the elections.

According to the minister, BVAS cut out fraudulent votes, ghost voters and multiple votes.

Mohammed said from the outcome of his engagements so far, the international community had come to the viewpoint that the 2023 elections were the fairest and most transparent in Nigeria history.

He also said there was no fake news in his comment that Labour Party’s reaction to the outcome of the presidential election was “inviting insurrection”.

Edwin Clark, an Ijaw national leader and convener of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, had called for prosecution of the information minister for being a “mastermind and disseminator of fake news” against Obi.

Clark accused the minister of basing his comment on “propaganda and falsity” adding that it was “unpatriotic and wicked” to label such an accusation on Obi.

Complete gazelle gra gra.

The executive arm of the federal government , the judiciary, the legislature , INEC and Nigerians at large is now divided on the following lines.
Light and darkness
Truth and falsehood
Good and evil.

And so will it be until the matter of the just concluded presidential election is concluded and settled.

One sure thing is darkness will not see the light of the day neither will falsehood and evil prevail over truth.

😎

No retreat! No surrender.

If Tinubu refuse to return the stolen mandate him and Yakubu Mahmood stole from the good people of Nigeria, then he is inviting Revolution knowingly or unknowingly.

Why is Tinubu trying to Force himself on us who did we offend in this country is it by force to serve Nigeria

Tinubu, the only advice we Sane Nigerians can give to you is "do the right thing at the right time, so that there will be peace in Nigeria 😎

Truly,some names have implications on the bearers.
The system that has kept the majority of people under severe poverty and few others in extravagant wealth in a blessed country is about to be dismantled and the benefactors are kicking their last kick.
The last election and not eye neck's results have shown that Nigerians are tired of the current political class.

So true..... It even surprised Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Listen to what she said about Prof Wole Soyinka and the election.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, came short of these because he came second and had 25 per cent in 21 states. Obi came far behind with 25 per cent in 15 states.

“This means that Obi, who was wrongly adjudged as a front runner in the election, was virtually unknown and unpopular in 22 states.”

“For any party to ignore the North-East and the North-West Zones of Nigeria during a presidential election, it will be impossible for it to win.

“However, it is one thing to register to vote and it is another thing to come out to vote on an election day.

“Those 24 million people that came out to vote during the polls were the authentic people that concluded the processes of election,” he said.

The core North and most Yoruba people do not even know Mr Obi, his name, face, party or his tribal/ religious divisive campaign so do not even notice his party on the ballot.

He admitted in his leaked audio that he has problem in Yorubaland . The major problem is that we do not even know him.

Lmao 🤣

Stolen mandate

Apart from the states declared by inec, mention any other state pandora Obituary won.

Is it Kano, Kaduna Katsina Jigawa kebbi Sokoto Zamfara Ekiti Oyo Osun Ogun kwara Kogi? Or is it Gombe Bauchi Yobe Adamawa Borno?

Why won't the world be surprised! Do u know how many Nigerians in thier country and how many will come in the next 4 years?

Because he rigged the election....

Brendaniel:
Because he rigged the election....

No, because Obi, Kwakwaso, and Wike did not behave like Osibanjo, Buhari, and Amaechi, and others of their ilk....

If Obi, and Kwakwaso's vote had gone to PDP, plus as an added bonus if Wike had been a loyal and proper party man, APC would have lost the election so badly that we would have been calling it a landslide. But no, they split the party, and as a result, APC cruised to victory.

Mwanwhile in APC, it was blatantly obvious that many party men did not like Tinubu. But when election time came, they all stayed in the party and worked for his victory.

When the opposition is divided, a badly performing ruling party has done 3/4 of the job it needs to win.

Nothing like rigging....especially since APC lost states like KKK and Lagos. And swathes of the NE.


(Of course, if the tribunal rules in Obi's favour, I will gladly eat my words. But as it stands, APC won because PDP was divided).

Okay

Dey deceive una sef

If APC was so sure that people don't know who obi was they should've allowed the election to be credible and allowed electronic transmission. Batstards.

“Those 24 million people that came out to vote during the polls were the authentic people that concluded the processes of election,”

How can u tell me out of 89 million people only 24 million completed a proper registration? When foreign observers wanted to access number of pvc disbursed for the election it was difficult to do that because there a certain number you can control during the election to enable a proper rigging.

This useless statement is all a cover up by this mafia organisation

This motherfucker called tinubu should just die and leave us alone

We know the other people it took by surprise.....

Really? And he defeated a Yoruba man in his land?

APC PDP and LP followers make una dy use una brain think before una begin type

It didn't take anyone by surprise. He lost but stole the mandate. He thinks he will seat on that seat. Hope he knows that this is the closest he will ever come to Presidency. He will be arrested and disgraced.

Will you start the revolution? You had better move on with your life and stop carrying politicians for your head. They, politicians are all the same.
