The vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25 elections, Sen. Datti Baba-Ahmed, has stated that the election was ‘rigged’ but that the votes recorded by his own Party were not rigged.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had, on March 1, announced the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the winner of the election.
INEC claimed Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who had 6,984,520 votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who scored 6,101,533 votes.

However, the LP and PDP are currently in court to contest the results of the election at the Tribunal while they have also held protests in some parts of the country.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, Baba-Ahmed claimed that those who ‘rigged’ the election had the effrontery to ask others to approach the court to seek redress.
He, therefore, warned that Bola Tinubu should not be sworn in on May 29 as President, saying that the INEC presented to him a dud certificate.
