The Federal Government and the main opposition parties clashed again yesterday over the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
The Federal Government took a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) for what it described as their delusions and irritating complaints about the 2023 general election.
The Federal Government urged LP and PDP to embrace the reality of their electoral loss which came about as a result of their overconfidence.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement that President Muhammadu Buhari’s analysis of the reasons for losing the poll by PDP and LP was incontrovertible.
According to Lai Mohammed, the President deserved accolades for delivering the best election in Nigeria’s history, adding that the tempestuous, but predictable reaction to his comments by the opposition parties have shown that they are shameless sore losers.
However, LP and PDP remained adamant to this and continues with their agitation, insisting that the election was rigged and they must have their mandate back.
