The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Tuesday dismissed as inaccurate claims that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in last month’s election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 1 declared Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 election after polling 8, 794, 726 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and 16 others in the exercise.
Atiku garnered 6, 984, 520 votes to finish in second place ahead of Peter Obi of the Labour Party who scored 6,101,533 votes.
