Tinubu’s team parleys with international media, says “irregularities” not sufficient to change polls outcome (www.premiumtimesng.com)

The media team of the Presidential Campaign Council of the APC has embarked on an international media tour to defend the outcome of the 2023 presidential election won by its candidate, Bola Tinubu.

The team, headed by the Minister of Labour and Employment (State) Festus Keyamo, held a press briefing at the National Press Center in Washington D.C on Wednesday.

Mr Keyamo, who served as the spokesperson of the campaign council, told journalists that the irregularities and violence recorded happened at less than one per cent of the total polling units, therefore, not sufficient to change the outcome of the election.

The reports of some irregularities and violence in some polling units could not have affected the overall outcome of the elections too.

There are 176,974 polling units in Nigeria and infractions and violence were recorded in less than one per cent of these units, he said.
