A former All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed either Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) is lying for claiming victory in the presidential election held last Saturday.
Following Wednesday’s declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that Bola Tinubu of the APC was the winner of the election, both Atiku and Obi have declared the electoral process as flawed and claimed they won.
However, in a swift reaction, the former two-term Edo State Governor who also who won the Edo North senatorial election said the two opposition presidential candidates are accusing themselves of rigging each other out.
“Between His Excellency Peter Obi my very good friend and His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, one of them must be lying. That is clear by the fact that Atiku who came second said he won, Obi who came third said no he is the one who won,” Oshiomhole said.
“So, between the two of them, they must be trying to rig each other out, so one of them must be lying and when they go to court I am sure that is one thing that will be showing when you have two people claiming victory. So, they are indirectly accusing one another of rigging each other out even for the second position,” he added.
