Despite accusations of vote fraud, investigative journalist David Hundeyin asserted that Bola Tinubu was not the winner of the 2023 Nigerian presidential election.
According to official INEC data, candidates other than Tinubu received almost 60% of the votes cast on February 25, 2023, as noted by Hundeyin in a post on his official X handle.
Even according to official statistics, he underlined, Tinubu was “thrashed” in Nigeria’s four main cities: Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Kano.
Hundeyin stated, “Investigative journalist David Hundeyin in a post on his official X handle, stated, “Far be it from me to defend Nigerians, but on this one, I have to keep reminding us:

“Candidates not named “Bola Tinubu” collectively scored about 60% of votes cast on February 25, 2023 – ACCORDING TO INEC’S OFFICIAL FIGURES.
“In other words, even allowing for the electoral fraud that took place, Tinubu simply did not “win” any election. He was THRASHED in all of Nigeria’s 4 urban population centres (Lagos, PH, Abuja, Kano) – even according to the official numbers.
“The only reason he is holding power today is that Nigeria runs a very dangerous and stupid winner-takes-all electoral system that gives a minority government the full powers of a majority government.
“Tinubu becoming “president” on 30% of the official vote numbers would be like the DA in South Africa being allowed to unilaterally form a government with John Steenhuisen as president after scoring 21% in the last election,” he added.
