Bayo Onanuga, a media aide to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has claimed that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, is attempting to treat Tinubu in the same way that retired military head of state Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) treated MKO Abiola, whose presidential election victory was annulled 30 years ago.
Onanuga stated this in a tweet on Tuesday.
He compared Obi’s decision to dispute the 2023 presidential election results to IBB’s invalidation of MKO Abiola’s 1993 election.
According to Onanuga, “Peter Obi of the Labour Party seeks the annulment of President-elect Bola Tinubu’s election, much as the military overturned MKO Abiola’s election on June 12, 1993.”

He however, noted that Tinubu and his supporters are ready to defend his election victory, adding that “Team Tinubu will certainly meet you (Obi) in court.”
Recall that earlier on Tuesday, Obi filed a petition at the tribunal in Abuja.
Obi and the Labour Party, LP, are challenging Tinubu’s status as the winner of the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
The Labour Party and its presidential flag bearer are praying for the tribunal to enforce that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of votes cast during the election. They want an order demanding that INEC retrieves the certificate of return issued to Tinubu and issue a fresh one to Obi.
