During an interview on the Politics Today program with Channels Television, Adams Oshiomhole, Senator-Elect of the All Progressive Congress in Edo State, shared his thoughts on the recent presidential election. Oshiomhole acknowledged the graciousness of both Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar for accepting their defeat to the President-elect, Asiwaju Tinubu, and expressed his admiration for their statesmanship.
However, Oshiomhole suggested that if either of the candidates felt unsatisfied with the evidence and wanted to go to court, that was their right. He went on to suggest that one of the two candidates, either Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, was lying. Oshiomhole argued that since Atiku came in second and claimed to have won, while Peter Obi came in third and also claimed to have won, it was evident that one of them was trying to rig the other out.
Oshiomhole's statement indicated that when the case goes to court, it would be clear who was lying. It is unclear what evidence Oshiomhole had to back up his claim, but his opinion highlights the contentious nature of the presidential election and the political divide in Nigeria.
