OBASANJO’s MISCHIEF AND HYPOCRISY ON DISPLAY AGAIN
Our attention has been drawn to a press statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in which he was virtually calling for a truncation of the ongoing electoral process and a cancellation of already conducted elections …
….. on the basis of frivolous, unfounded and baseless allegations by politicians who are sore losers and have no respect for democratic values.
Obasanjo repeated without the slightest iota of evidence rumours he had picked up that the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System had been compromised and that the results of elections being announced are fraudulent.
Law enforcement agencies have been asked to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order in any part of the state.
I have been your Governor for almost four years, promoting harmony and friendship across ethnic and religious lines without any form of discrimination whatsoever.
All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has appealed to the people of Lagos State to be calm and eschew any act that can lead to breakdown of law and order.
Tinubu said the outcome of the election in Lagos where Labour Party won the presidential election should not be a source of provocation saying that the beauty of democracy is that people have a right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
The APC candidate further said that as a democrat he is bound to accept the outcome of any election whether favourable or not.
