You’re Desperate To Receive Endorsements For Tinubu – LP Campaign Fires APC

The Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LP PCC) has berated the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, for shopping for endorsements after claiming victory in the just-concluded presidential election.

The Chief Spokesperson for the LP PCC, Tanko Yunusa, said this on Tuesday while reacting to the claim by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) that the results of the presidential election were not manipulated.

In a chat with Vanguard, Yunusa said the fact that the ruling party was still looking for validation shows that it is desperate and Tinubu’s victory is a farce.

He said the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a full-blooded democrat who subscribes to the tenets of democracy, and that is why he is challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

Tanko added that Tinubu and the APC know they didn’t win a free, fair, and credible contest and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) knows it breached its own guidelines.

He said, “Never in our recent history do you find a party which claims to have won an election shopping for validation weeks after the victory.

“Here we have the APC, a ruling party running from pillar to post begging people at home and abroad to endorse the outcome of a sham in the name of an election.

“Our candidate is a full-blooded democrat who subscribes to the tenets of democracy that is why he is challenging the process which the whole world knows was flawed in every material particular.

“If we had lost in a free and credible process my principal would have been the first person to call and congratulate the winner.

“Like he said a few days ago if you desire to be referred to as His Excellency, the process by which you come to power must be excellent. Tinubu and the whole APC know they didn’t win a fair contest and the INEC knows it breached its own rules, we are going to court to prove, Alake and all those who think like him should enjoy their short-lived victory while it lasts.”
