The PDP noted that President Muhammadu Buhari had made a similar comment. It also accused the minister of treading on the path of deceit and falsehood. It added that his comment was an attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bully and blackmail the presidential election tribunal, The Cable reported.

The party added that Nigerians are aware Atiku and not the APC candidate, Bola Tinubu, won the election, according to the authentic results obtained from the polling units, Nigerian Tribune reported.

It added that the Buhari-led APC administration "is notorious for lying, deceit and falsehood.”

“It is indeed appalling that Lai Mohammed could attempt to defend the outcome of a fraudulently conducted election which has been adjudged as the worst in the history of elections in Nigeria and which has attracted nationwide and international outrage against the Buhari administration."
