The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has told the opposition parties to stop complaining about the 2023 presidential election and accept defeat, describing that claims the elections were rigged as “fraudulent”. He said, “Going by the results, none of the opposition parties met any of the conditions stipulated for winning the presidential election. “They (opposition) keep leaning on some international observers to justify their fraudulent claim that the election was rigged.”The minister also defended Buhari’s verdict that the opposition parties lost the presidential poll due to overconfidence. “Mr President’s analysis on the reasons for the opposition’s loss in the 2023 elections was incontrovertible. “President Muhammadu Buhari lived up to his billing by delivering a free, fair and credible election, and his legacy is assured.
