Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has asserted that Labour Party candidate Peter Obi emerged the actual winner of the 2023 presidential election. Speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Tonight* on Monday, Lawal said that, based on the facts at his disposal, Obi won the election that led to the emergence of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s 16th president. A known critic of the current administration, Lawal insisted that President Tinubu did not win the poll, adding that “the result available to him at that time showed he didn’t win the election.” “The problem with Bola Tinubu is that he thinks I’m the one that offended him. I didn’t offend him, he offended me and he is full of himself, and he thinks that he now so-called president…I believe he didn’t win the election,” he said. Justifying his claim, Lawal maintained that they monitored the election, they collected data and monitored the results from the fields. According to him, some of the results were altered. Asked what was President Tinubu’s offence against him, Lawal said, “He is arrogant. The guy has an arrogance that belies definitions.”
