The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Smart Adeyemi has described the 2023 General elections as one of the best in the country has conducted when compared with previous election.
Adeyemi stated this while speaking in an interview on live television.
Recall that the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election, but the opposition, including Peter Obi of the Labour Party, (LP) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) have challenged the outcome of the election.
He said, “I speak my mind at any point in time. And let me tell you the truth, I hold the view that this election was free to a large extent and better than the previous election. Those who feel bitter can just wait for the next election.”
The Kogi-born federal lawmaker called on those upset about the outcome of the elections to try next time in 2027.
He argued that Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, are the most trusted to lead the country.
Adeyemi said the former Lagos state governor has invested in people and also built strong ties across Nigeria thus his victory at the polls was not surprising.
According to him, the grievances from the opposition is expected but that doesn’t take away the fact that the poll was free.
