Supreme Court: Lawal Presents Proof of Obi’s Victory, Calls for Tinubu’s Resignation

AHEAD of the Supreme Court’s ruling, there is a fresh agitation calling for the immediate resignation of the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The campaign was championed by the former Secretary to the Federal Government in the administration of Muhammadu Buhari, Babachir Lawal.

Babachir Lawal says that available data show the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, won the February 25 presidential election.

According to him, his assertion draws credence on carefully analyzed data and that contrary to the declaration of the Independent National Electoral Commission which declared Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner, Obi was the actual winner.

He called on Tinubu to resign due to his failing health even as he said an avalanche of documents that point to Tinubu’s conflicting information on his biodata is embarrassing.

Lawal who made his feelings known on Tuesday claimed Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, came second in the election.

He further claimed Tinubu came a distant third.

“I have resisted the temptation to engage in contemporary political discourse since the May 2023 election faux pas.

“I did this for two reasons; the first being that as an active player in the drama, I needed time to analyze and digest the data that led to the outcome(s) so I could arrive at an informed decision; the second, being that the rainy season had just set in and I needed to focus my attention on my farms which are the mainstay of my livelihood,” Lawal said.

He observed that “The current topical issues for political discourse and inquiry are whether or not Bola Tinubu won the presidential election and/or that he was apriori, qualified to participate in the election given his murky biodata as is now being publicly unveiled daily in an avalanche.

“My answer to the first inquiry is that regardless of whatever INEC or Appeal Court said or did, Bola did not win the election.

“Right from the start of the campaigns, Bola knew he was not going to win the election in a free and fair contest so he decided to go by all means.
