All Progressives Congress (APC) United States National Youth Leader, Mr Oyakhilome Bello has described the proposed protest by some individuals against emergence of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President-elect as baseless
The protest is scheduled for April 3 in the United State.
He described as baseless, the protest against Tinubu’s emergence by some opposition groups at a park in front of the White House on Thursday, saying such protest would produce no result.
He said the protest had no weight because the February 25, presidential election that produced Tinubu as the president-elect was free, fair and credible, adding that the former two-term Lagos State governor won the election squarely.
He called on all patriotic Nigerians to join hands to work for the country’s unity and peace, and to support Tinubu and Vice-president elect, Senator Kashim Shettima to enthrone a better Nigeria for all.
He added that there was no mandate stolen as being alleged by opposition parties, because the Nigerian electorate freely gave their mandate to Tinubu at the poll.
“The election is therefore, a true reflection of the voice of the majority, even though there were some identified flaws during the election that can always be improved on.
“The United States is a defender of democracy around the globe, there is no perfect election anywhere in the world and the flaws identified in the just concluded Nigeria’s election can only be improved on.
“The majority of Nigerian voters gave Tinubu their mandate, and no manipulation, propaganda or tissue of lies can stop his inauguration on May 29,” Bello said this through a statement made available to newsmen.
