The leader of the apex Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo, has warned Nigerians to stop addressing Ahmed Bola Tinubu as president-elect, saying that currently there was no President-elect in Nigeria despite the declaration of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Pa Adebanjo described the 2023 presidential election as “a sham that will be pulled in due course.”

According to him, the INEC jettisoned constitutional methodology and must explain to Nigerians why it did the contrary.

“It is just the result of a bad government. A disaster that God will help us to get rid of. I can assure you there is no President-elect at all; it is just a sham that should be pulled in due course.

“This is a game we all see. We are all living witnesses to it. Why don’t you (INEC)follow the laws that have been provided to guide the elections?”

The nonagenarian stressed that Tinubu’s camp in their attempt to reply to the groundswell of criticisms that trailed his controversial announcement as the winner of the presidential election, picked up the messengers and left the messages which is the main issue.
