There Will Be No Nigeria If Tinubu Is Sworn In As President - Ezeife

Former Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, will not be sworn in as president.

The elder statesman, during an appearance on Arise TV on Thursday, said it will be a disaster and impossible for the country to witness peace if Tinubu is sworn-in.

Ezeife said despite the irregularities that characterized the Saturday presidential election, the exercise showed there is still hope for a new Nigeria.

The former governor, however, urged Nigerians to come together for a better system, saying that a new Nigeria is still possible.

He said: “The presidential election revealed so many things to Nigerians and I thank God for that. I thank all the foreign powers who commented on the election and condemned the integrity of the election.

“I do not believe that Tinubu my friend will be sworn in as president. If that is done, it would be a disaster but I think this thing has opened the eyes of Nigerians.

“We thank the Yoruba, we thank the Hausa, and we thank every group in Nigeria for this openness. We are Nigerians and I think that is the message. Don’t mind the manipulation.

“One must distinguish between the election as conducted and the election as reported. What to do? Some foreign countries are calling for the cancellation. For me, I don’t really think that is the only solution because it costs money.

“How much did we spend in this election? What we have to do is to go back to the documents, go back to all the systems we used, and look at the correct results that came out, especially which came out before the problem arose or before the stoppage of the uploading.

“We look at it and declare results based on those results. There is no point going to waste more money. I believe this election has given hope for one Nigeria.”
