The All Progressives Congress, APC on Tuesday night berated the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, on his remark about the February 25 election.
Lawal had in a statement issued earlier on Tuesday said the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, won the election.
The ex-SGF said: and I QUOTE “Right from the start of the campaigns, Bola Tinubu knew he was not going to win the election in a free and fair contest so he decided to go by all means.”
“Available factual data as aggregated from several independent sources indicate that Obi got the majority votes while Atiku came second. Bola came a distant third in the number of votes scored.” END QUOTE
Responding to the former SGF’s claims on Obi’s victory in the 2023 polls, the ruling party described Lawal’s statement as driven by sentiment, casting doubt on the credibility of his assertion.
In a statement released in Abuja, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, pointed out that Babachir Lawal’s comments were not only ill-advised but also demonstrated a lack of respect for the legal process.
Morka noted that discussing a matter currently before the Supreme Court constitutes contempt, and Lawal’s actions could be viewed as irresponsible
