Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the running mate to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 election, has said Bola Tinubu is not the president-elect of Nigeria.
In an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday, monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA, Baba-Ahmed said the certificate of return presented to Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commision (INEC) is “dud”.
On Tuesday afternoon, the contents of Obi’s petition filed against Tinubu at the Election Tribunal sitting Abuja, surfaced online.
The former Anambra governor cited Tinubu’s alleged forfeiture of the sum of $460,000 in a drug-related case in the United States several years ago as one of the grounds for his disqualification and annulment of February’s election.
Speaking on the development, Datti revealed that the Labour Party decided to employ tactics that were different from what the All Progressives Congress (APC) was expecting “to teach them a lesson”.
He said: “We hit them where didn’t expect. We didn’t ask them to rig the elections. In fact, we have been very kind to these people. We have been very, very gentle with them.
“Look, Obi and I can account for all our political opponents. Ask the other elected persons to account for their opponents. Ngige is alive.
“In my case, all the opponents I have faced, people like Makarfi, are all alive. But, the other elected persons cannot tell you. In Lagos and Borno, these people cannot account for all their opponents. And that’s why we are being careful.
“We are talking about danger here. Let’s also not forget that a gentleman somewhere forfeited $460,000 in order not to go to prison. And now, he is a president-elect after assaulting the Nigerian Constitution.
“As I said, we will hit them where they never expected because we never thought that they would behave in the way they did.”
PEOPLE SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS.
IT SEAMS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE FANI KAYODE KNOWS THAT OTHERS ARE NOT AWARE OF IN THIS NIGERIA NOW, I V BEEN FOLLOWING THIS GUY SINCE THE CAMPAIGN PERIOD. NOW HE COMES UP WITH THIS. NOW, I SUGGEST OBI AND ATIKU TO WITHDRAW THEIR PETITIONS AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER WAY TO FOLLOW THIS SINCE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE HAS ALREADY KNOWN THE OUTCOME OF A PRE-JUDICIAL CASE. THAT SPEAKS OF SOMETHING SERIOUS AND WORRISOME TO EVERY NIGERIA……..THIS IS SERIOUS.
However, Fani-Kayode in a post via Twitter described the court case as a ‘joke of the century’ and would go nowhere as supporters of LP popularly called ‘Obidients’ will come out crying.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain also mocked the ‘Obidients’ over their inability to win any state in the just concluded governorship election.
He said: “Dear Obidients, hear this and eat it: your Obidient bubble has burst forever. From now on it is downhill for you. You are now in political oblivion and you will remain there.
“Your hateful and divisive disposition and cause and your religious and ethnic bigotry have destroyed you.
“As for your court case challenging Asiwaju, it is the joke of the century. It’s not going anywhere and you will come out crying.
“We shall spank you hard there and flush you down the toilet just as we have done in all the elections.”
Seriously, FANI KAYODE is always full of treats and should not be ignored at all……….
guys should take this KAYODE serious and noting more to say. He plays GOD, power, and strength,
He has gangs too. I AM SHOCHED OF HIS STATEMENTS. WE CAN SEE THAT HE HAS DRAWN A
BATTLE LINE.
How did u get to be a senator if not that Nigeria Political and educational sectors are dead….I swear ur academic qualifications if u have one must be from one of those universities of monkeys and Morons in the North …Again, dos this mean the SANs filling suites against Tinubu are so foolish to realize goin to Election Tribunal and raising issues outside Electural matters is total waste of time and recklessness …Do Election Tribunal has jurisdiction to preside drug charges like Normal court ….What are u boasting about Educated fool ? Are u the judge or do u know where ur enemies will come at u ? Mumu Datti
THEY ARE A CONFUSED LOT WHO IS YET TO COME TO TERMS WITH WHAT HIT THEM AT THE PRESIDENTIAL POLLS.
They have failed on the field and will hit the ground for the dust, also.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS DYSLEXIC GOON GOAT Datti KNOWS NOT THE MEANING OF THE WORD “dud”.
By the way what is accounting for your opponents. What type of submission with which kind of construction could we possibly attribute this to.
Datti Baba-Ahmed, THE APRON STRING FAILED DEPUTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WAS PROBABLY SPEAKING AND OR WRITING IN turenchi.
The messy duo of Atiku and his clueless deputy candidate are clearly CONFUSED and DISORIENTED by the wanton defeat handed them by Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
THROWING ALL KINDS OF TANTRUM UNTOWARDS UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS DOES NOT WIN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
Atiku is yet to explain the lush filthy lucre found in his house in the US for which he was declared wanted and in which his acolyte was prosecuted and convicted.
No problem….. Yy are you people (APC AND THIEFINBU)complaining about LP petition….. Relax and watch…. Fools and riffraffs……
