NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS: MUHAMMADU BUHARI SET TO WIN

 “We wish to take this opportunity to make it clear to the Nigerian public that according to the figures made available to us, we are ahead in the presidential elections by at least two to three million votes.”, claimed, Femi Fani-Kayode’s

Mr. Fani-Kayode added: “We have our own Situation Room and we have collated all our figures from the various polling booths, wards, local government areas and states in the Federation.

“Despite the propaganda of the opposition, we are confident of victory. They and all other stakeholders can be rest assured that we will accept nothing less than the announcement of an election result that is truthful and that reflects the true will of the Nigerian people.”Fani-Kayode concluded.

However, INEC chairman Attahiru Jega dismissed Fani-kayode’s claim at a press conference as a pure lie.

Based on collated figures released by various INEC offices across Nigeria, with last night broadcast by INEC, it shows clearly that Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is cruising comfortably to victory in last Saturday’s presidential elections, while Mr. Fani-Kayode’s statement is seen as reflecting a desperate effort to mislead Nigerians and the world with his propaganda mechanism.

The electoral law stipulates that the winner of the presidential polls is required to win the most popular votes in the country and at least 25 percent of the votes in at least 24 states. Meanwhile, with the results already released by INEC and their resident commissioners, General Buhari has won Kano, Lagos, Borno, Sokoto, Kebbi, Adamawa and his home state of Katsina.

 The APC’s presidential candidate had also secured at least 25 percent of the votes in numerous states, including Imo State, in the southeast, and Plateau State.

It is high time we caution some of this propagandists to keep quiet and allow Prof. Jega  to finish his task.
