President Bola Tinubu has boldly asserted that the recently concluded 2023 presidential election stands as the most credible in Nigeria’s history.
His declaration comes despite a series of legal challenges filed against him and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), regarding the election’s legitimacy.
The President said this when he spoke at the first National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party in Abuja on August 3.
“The party is in your hands but let’s redirect this party; let’s show the rest of the country that we are a country united for a purpose and that purpose – development, progress, and posterity will not forgive us if we veer off that path. We honour their wishes but we coast into the future. It is an honourable thing. Yes, we are facing challenges in court, and I say this is one of the most free and fair elections in the history of Nigeria.” he said
President Tinubu’s victory at the presidnetial election is currently being challenged by Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
