Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has claimed that Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, won the election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight on Monday, Lawal said the results available to him showed that President Bola Tinubu did not win the poll.
According to him, he and his team monitored the election, gathered data, and tracked results from polling units across the country, adding that some of those results were later altered.
“The facts I have show that Obi won the election,” he said.
When asked if Tinubu had done anything against him personally, Lawal accused the president of arrogance.
“He is arrogant. The guy has an arrogance that defies description. The problem with Bola Tinubu is that he thinks I’m the one who offended him. I didn’t offend him — he offended me. He is full of himself, and he thinks that because he is now the so-called president, that’s the end of the matter. I believe he didn’t win the election,” Lawal stated.
