The founder of Anap Foundation, Atedo Peterside, on
Wednesday, said those rushing to congratulate the president-elect, Bola Tinubu
are doing so because they have not seen available evidence alleging that the
presidential election was rigged.
The foremost economist, who spoke in an interview with Arise
TV on Wednesday, said it is still premature to congratulate Tinubu.
He said he would only congratulate the winner of the 2023
presidential election when the court proves that the results uploaded by the
Independent National Electoral Commission were correct.
According to him, the results uploaded by the electoral body
are insults on Nigerians’ intelligence
He said, “If they go through this process and the judges
convince us that everything was done correctly and we adopt the numbers,
whoever is the winner at that time, I will congratulate him.
“But for now it is premature. When I can see with my own
eyes what INEC has uploaded, it is an insult to everybody’s intelligence; it is
premature. People who are rushing to congratulate him have not taken the
trouble to even look at the available information or the evidence.”
While some world leaders have issued their congratulatory
messages to the former Lagos governor, the United States president, Joe Biden
has maintained silence.
