Nigerians especially the youths have been told to heed the advice of Nobel Laureate- Professor Wole Soyinka, to shun any call to protest predicated on force of lies about the 2023 Presidential Election.
National Director of Special Duties and Chairman Caretaker Committee (Lagos State Chapter) of ASIWAJU PROJECT BEYOND 2023, Comrade ‘Lanre Olaide, made this known in a statement in reaction to a recent interview on the social media, in which Professor Soyinka did an evaluation of the Presidential Election.
The Nobel Laureate had commended Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party for changing the status quo of dominance of two political parties in previous elections but he however stated that the Labour Party made the third position, as evidently observed by his own organisations and other notable Election Monitoring Groups, claiming that the leadership of Obi’s party was aware of.
Consequently he berated the tones of incitements of hardliners and youths to protest the outcome of the election in which INEC declared Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima as winner under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Comrade ‘Lanre Olaide enjoined all Nigerians to respect the report of internationally renowned Professor Soyinka on the election, corroborated by the recent verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Chairman Caretaker Committee (Lagos State Chapter) of ASIWAJU PROJECT BEYOND 2023, noted that the victory at the tribunal was a testament to the freewill of the Nigerian people, the hardwork of party leadership and all vibrant support groups that toured all the nooks and crannies of the country to mobilize and seek supports of the electorate who graciously responded with their votes and maximum support at the poll.
Comrade ‘Lanre Olaide who is a frontline progressive youth leader, called on aggrieved fronts in the Presidential Election to accept the olive branch of the President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima’s administration in the best interest of democracy, assuring that all of the challenges that come with subsidy removal will ultimately end with lasting benefits and prosperity for all Nigerians.
