“Who says the 2023 election was not credible? The 2023 election is one of the most credible elections in the history of Nigeria from 1999 to date. “We can talk about June 12; that I remember vividly was also a free and fair election that was annulled by the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida.JAMB Result

Justifying his position, Shettima reeled out various reasons including the loss of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos, the loss of seven sitting governors in their senatorial bids, and the emergence of other people clearly on merit. According to Shettima such never happened in past elections. He said: “We saw what Professor Mahmood did. Get me very clearly; a ruling party has never lost in Lagos until in the 2023 election where 7 governors lost their senate seats, and where an okada rider from nowhere emerged as a House of Reps member.NYSC Portal
“This was an election people won on merit; where people who were supposed to return for their second term as governors lost. It has never happened.”
