Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari didn\u2019t confer any advantage on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the February 25 Presidential election.<\/p>\n

Mohammed stated this to State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He made clarifications of his comments during a recent official trip to the United States.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said, \u201cI went to the US to balance the skewed report about the just concluded elections, and everywhere I went, I said very unambiguously that the last general elections in Nigeria are the most transparent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the freest and the most authentic Nigeria had ever held and that\u2019s despite the effort of the opposition to delegitimize the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first instance was that the president didn\u2019t confer any advantage on his ruling party [APC] and that is why as far as he was concerned, he would rather lose the election than win at all cost and the result showed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recall that the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, won the election after defeating PDP\u2019s Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party\u2019s Mr Peter Obi.<\/p>\n
