The Spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Senator Dino Melaye, has said that the victory of the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is temporal and would soon be upturned.
Speaking in a video broadcast, Dino alleged that the February 25th presidential and National Assembly elections were manipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to favour the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former federal lawmaker alleged that elections were canceled in PDP strongholds where Atiku Abubakar garnered majority votes.
He said, “Our nation is bleeding, the sole and spirit of our nation is crying for justice and vengeance.
“Professor Mahmood Yakubu stabbed the very sole of Nigeria when he graduated from having inconclusive election in his first tenure. He has graduated to over voting in his second term in office.
“In his first term, the PDP and opposition parties were disenfranchised by the concept of inconclusive elections. The new strategy adopted by Mahmood now is over voting.
“90 per cent of the state results that were presented announced over voting. Strong holds of the PDP, the declared over voting and canceled elections in those areas. The over voting recorded amounted to over two million votes.
“But because they do not want the margin of canceled votes to be more than the margin of winning, they reduced it to 900 and something but it is a fallacious lie and it will not stand.
“I want to announce to Bola Tinubu that your victory is temporal and evaporative. I repeat again, your victory is temporal and evaporative. We will upturn that stolen mandate”.
The electoral umpire, INEC, had on Wednesday declared Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC as the rightful winner of the 2023 Presidential election.
