‘Certificate that will be returned when data speaks’ – Oby Ezekwesili reacts to Certificate of return issued to Tinubu by INEC
Obiageli (Oby) Katryn Ezekwesili, the former Minister of Education of Nigeria and as well former Vice President for the World Bank’s Africa Region in 2007 has reacted to the certificate of return issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday to the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu.
According to Oby Ezekwesili, the certificate shall soon be returned to its rightful owner. She further stated that data shall speak and authenticate her claims.
“Certificate that will be returned. Hold your peace, data shall speak,” she tweeted on Thursday morning.
It would be recalled that the certificate of return was presented to Tinubu by the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
His running mate Kashim Shettima also got his certificate of return at the event.
The presentation came a few hours after Tinubu was declared the winner of the Saturday, February 25 poll, garnering 8,794,726 votes to defeat his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, who scored 6,984,520.
Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer, took his first shot at the presidency for the first time in a keenly contested race.
