Tinubu allegedly visits Buhari in London as tension erupts in president-elect camp over 25% of votes FCT requirements

 

 

Bola Tinubu is expected to take office as president on May 29, which is just a few weeks from now. His path to victory, which began with the APC party primaries, has been marred by controversy and what some have dubbed “dirty politics,” though. But nothing has generated more controversy than his alleged victory in the February 25 presidential election.

 

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted an election that shocked many Nigerians with the help of the Buhari administration.

 

They questioned why INEC did the exact opposite after promising Nigerians and the rest of the world that it was ready to hold one of the best elections in the nation’s history. Naturally, INEC advised parties taking legal action in retaliation.

 

 

If the Tribunal decides this case justly, the Labour Party and Obi anticipate that Tinubu’s victory will be thrown out. This has alarmed the APC, and recent reports assert that INEC purposefully chose not to rig the FCT results to give Tinubu the 25% threshold that the constitution mandates in order to thwart Tinubu’s chances of actually becoming the next president.

 

 

In a tweet, Nnaemeka Edeh alleges that the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu camp is tense as President Buhari asks Yemi Osibanjo for his opinion on the 25% FCT mandatory requirements.

 

Nnaemeka Edeh wrote:

“As President Buhari seeks Yemi Osibanjo’s opinion on the mandatory 25% FCT requirements, tension in the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu camp appears to have increased. Prof. Yemi Osibanjo didn’t think twice about telling the whole truth.”

“Unconfirmed reports claim that President Buhari’s assistant informed him that Bola Ahmed Tinubu had visited him in the UK before he decided to consult his vice president, a law professor.”

 

“Vice President Prof. Yemi Osibanjo reminded Mr. President that it would be unusual for any presidential candidate to be sworn in if they had not complied with the requirements of the Constitution.”

 

“He was very careful not to bring up Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 

 

“When discussing this fact with his vice president yesterday evening, President Buhari was pleased.

 

“Although the Attorney General had already briefed the president on the implications, President Buhari chose to speak with Prof. Yemi Osibanjo to get a second opinion.”
