This position was made known on Friday by the APC campaign’s media adviser, Dele Alake during a press conference.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council has said claims by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and that of Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi that they won the 2023 election are ridiculous.
The APC campaign council added that it welcomes the idea of the candidates going to court.
This position was made known on Friday by the APC campaign’s media adviser, Dele Alake during a press conference.
Recall that both Atiku and Obi at different press conferences on Thursday, rejected the victory of the APC candidate, Bola Tinubu, and vowed to pursue the matter legally to a logical conclusion.
But Alake in his reaction on Friday said both candidates were joining their illiterate social media supporters to cry foul about the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
The APC chieftain insisted that Tinubu won the polls fair and square and is willing to make peace with aggrieved candidates in the interest of the nation.
“Let us say, unequivocally, that we welcome the decision of both the PDP and LP and also the NNPP candidates to test their claims, as ridiculous as they are, in the court of law as provided for by our constitution,” Alake said.
“This is without prejudice to the conciliatory efforts of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“He has reiterated in his post-declaration speeches the need for all Nigerians, irrespective of whom we all voted for, to rally quickly together for the good of our country.
“What we did not expect is that the two presidential candidates and, indeed, their political parties, would shamefully re-echo the puerile and unimaginative arguments that are being canvassed by political illiterates and mischief-makers who are crying wolf on social media.
“Save for the bad losers that these two people have proven to be, we should rather be celebrating the tremendous improvement the use of BVAS has brought to our electoral process,” he added.
