A Facebook post alleges that Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi state, claimed to have assisted President Bola Tinubu in manipulating the 2023 presidential election in Tinubu’s favor.
In the 2023 election, Tinubu, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner by Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on March 1, 2023. Tinubu received 8,794,726 votes, surpassing his main opponents: Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 6,984,520 votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) with 6,101,533 votes.
The Facebook post in question asserts that Bello made a statement regarding his involvement in the alleged rigging of the election.
“Tinubu is a thief, I helped him rigged the 2023 election, Peter Obi won him with great margin – EFCC has no right to arrest me because the President of Nigeria is not illegal – Yahaya Bello purportedly opens up.” CONTINUE READING
