PDP member lists 4 reasons court will sack President Tinubu

A member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who identified himself as Hon.

Rilwan on Twitter has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will be disqualified.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Nigeria's electoral body, on Wednesday, March 1, declared Tinubu the 2023 presidential election winner.

The electoral commission announced that Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to emerge the winner.

His closest rival, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, polled 6,984,520. The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, came third with 6,101,533 votes.

However, Atiku and Obi are challenging the election results in court. The duo want the court to disqualify Tinubu and declare them the election winner or nullify it.

The presidential election tribunal hearing the petitions filed by the opposition candidates is currently sitting.

Rilwan, in a Twitter post sighted by Legit.ng, listed four likely reasons he believes the president cannot escape disqualification. These include:

1. He acquired Guinean Citizenship.

2. He forfeited $460,000 due to drug-related offences.

3. He did not disclose the aforementioned facts to INEC.

4. He submitted a forged Chicago University Certificate to INEC.

President Bola Tinubu "got 63% votes" from region during 2023 election Legit.ng notes that the reasons listed by the PDP member remain an allegation that the court is yet to rule on.
