A factional leader of the Pan-African Yoruba group, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo said he has evidence that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari rigged his re-election in February.
Adebanjo had, in February, described the 2019 presidential election as a joke.
He insisted he will not recognise Buhari, who was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC, as president.
But Buhari was declared the winner of the election. He polled 15, 191, 847 votes while Abubakar, a former Nigerian vice president between 1999 and 2007, got 11, 262, 978 votes.
Unsatisfied with the election result, Atiku, who alleged the election was rigged is currently challenging the presidential election result at the Election Tribunal.While the tribunal is still hearing the case, Adebanjo said Buhari would only be clear of the election rigging allegations if he is declared as the winner by the Supreme Court.
