The Presidency has said that President Bola Tinubu attained office in 2023 by divine will, despite opposition from critics.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made the remark while responding to comments by broadcast journalist Rufai Oseni over alleged irregularities in the recent area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Oseni had raised concerns about what he described as discrepancies in the election results involving the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Reacting in a post on X, Onanuga accused the journalist of spreading falsehood and harbouring what he termed “pathological hatred” for the ruling party.
He defended the integrity of the result sheet cited by Oseni, stating that it clearly indicated the total votes recorded at the polling unit and that the APC’s votes were consistent with the overall tally.
“I expect you to have outgrown your pathological hatred for our party, since May 2023, when Almighty God gave power to President Tinubu,” Onanuga wrote.
The exchange underscores ongoing tensions between government officials and media commentators over electoral transparency and political accountability.
