“Electoral Process Cannot Be Perfect Without “Man!pul@tions In Some Areas” — Tinubu breaks Silence On Election Rigging

All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the electoral process cannot be perfect and devoid of manipulations in some areas but politicians must accept the result of free and fair elections.

Affirming that he would win the poll on Saturday because he had worked harder than other candidates, Mr. Tinubu revealed this to journalists on Saturday at his house in Lagos.

“A democrat, a true democrat, must accept the result of free and fair elections. As a democrat, you must have faith in the system. Once you have faith in the system, it is not a problem to accept the result of free and fair elections,” Tinubu said when asked if he would accept the result of Saturday’s election if he loses.

Speaking further, Bola Tinubu said “Perception is one thing. On rare occasions that you have skirmishes and lack of confidence, it is created by the politicians. Not the electoral process.

In the electoral process, we cannot see 100 percent perfection. People have to tolerate that. Equally, when you are talking of manipulation in some areas, you have to evaluate what is material. Materiality comes to play. How many compared to the total turnout or total who voted? You’ve got to accept the result of a fairly responsible voter’s decision,” he added.
