In a statement, President Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described Atiku’s claims as “petty” and “derisive politics of a sore loser.” The presidency maintained that Tinubu rightfully won the election.
Atiku has been a vocal critic of President Tinubu since his inauguration in May 2023. The presidency suggests Atiku’s accusations stem from envy and a sense of entitlement.
