Lai Mohammed
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture said that President Muhammadu Buhari delivered on his promise to leave a legacy of credible polls.
While speaking to international media organizations in Washington on Tuesday, March 4, Mohammed said results from some of the elections held across the country showed there was no federal interference in the electoral process.
In his words;
“A proof of this resolution is that the President’s party lost the presidential election in Katsina, his home state. Equally, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, lost in his state, Lagos, while the chairman of the Party, Abdulahi Adamu, lost in Nasarawa State to the Labour Party. The Director-General of the Campaign Organisation of our party also lost to PDP in Plateau State. Nothing gives these elections more credence than those facts because there was no rigging in states where our big wigs come from” he said
The minister added that APC lost in the four states with the highest number of votes in the elections – Katsina, Kano, Kaduna and Lagos even when they were the ruling party’s controlled states.
