Fani-Kayode speaks on alleged plan by Buhari to annul Tinubu’s emergence

Femi Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday praised President Muhammadu Buhari ‘for standing up for democracy and restoring Nigerians’ confidence in the democratic process and institutions’.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Fani-Kayode’s compliment comes a day after President Buhari rose in stout defence of the recent successful election of Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling party.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, in a piece put together on Thursday as a takeaway from President Buhari’ recent visit to Doha, Qatar, said President Buhari disclosed that at no time was any plan hatched to annul the 2023 presidential poll as was the case during the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by late Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola.

@MBuhari‘s assurance, spoken through my brother @GarShehu yesterday, that there will be NO annulment of @officialABAT‘s mandate is reassuring & comforting.
Kudos to Mr. President for standing up for democracy & restoring our confidence in the democratic process and institutions.
