Obanikoro Says Lagos Governorship Elections Were Not Free & Fair

Minister of State Foreign Affairs II, Musiliu Obanikoro, recently took to Twitter to air his views on the recently concluded governorship elections in Lagos State.

Obanikoro stated that he doesn’t think the elections were free and fair:

That I congratulated Ambode should not be mistaken for the idea that the gubernatorial elections in Lagos were free and fair. #MO

I congratulated Ambode based on the larger interest of Lagos State. Amaechi and his co-travelers in Rivers State should learn from this. #MO

Compared to the presidential election, fewer people came out to vote last Saturday in Lagos. International observers confirmed this. #MO

How did the total number of votes cast for the gubernatorial election in Lagos outnumber that of the presidential election? #MO

The US Government should play the role of an impartial observer in Nigeria. In 2000, the presidential election in Florida had its flaws. #MO
