The political tension in Nigeria continues to mount as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman, Tai Balofin, accuses Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), of planning a protest against Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Balofin asserts that Nigerians willingly gave Tinubu the mandate to be their leader, and those claiming the election was rigged should have a rethink.
He alleges that Peter Obi is behind the planned protest, which is scheduled for April 3 in the United States.
“We also wish to state that this protest was sponsored by Peter Obi, who lost the election in Nigeria,” he said.
The Nigerian American Coalition for justice and democracy will stage the protest, presenting their Visa ban list to the White House, US Congress, and State Department.
Balofin claims that the US government is not involved or in support of the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest.
“It is important to note that the US government is not involved or in support of the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest,” he was quoted to have said in a statement on Thursday.
Balofin assures Nigerians that the presidential election was free and fair, and Tinubu won the election. He adds that the majority of Nigerian voters gave him their mandate, and no propaganda, manipulation, or tissue of lies can stop his inauguration.
Balofin also assures Nigerians that Nigeria will not secede and will remain united, and they must work together to salvage it.
“It is our belief that the Nigerian presidential election was free and fair, and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu won the election. The majority of Nigerian voters gave him their mandate, and no propaganda, manipulation or tissue of lies can stop his inauguration.
“We want to assure Nigerians that Nigeria will not secede, and it will remain united, we must work together to salvage it,” he added.
