The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has advised the opposition to stop their endless griping over the 2023 presidential election which they lost woefully, saying they know very well that they deserve to lose the election because of their overconfidence and complacency.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, April 30, the Minister said President Buhari's analysis on the reasons for the opposition's loss in the 2023 elections was incontrovertible.

He said the President deserves nothing but accolades for delivering undoubtedly the best election in Nigeria's history, adding that the tempestuous but predictable reaction to the
President's comments by the opposition has shown them for what they are: shameless sore losers.Recall that President Buhari a few days ago said the opposition parties lost the election due to overconfidence.

''President Muhammadu Buhari lived up to his billing by delivering a free, fair and credible election, and his legacy is assured. The President would rather lose his state and many of his party's
strongholds than tamper with the fidelity of the election, and that is why he provided a level playingfield for all parties,'' Mohammed said.

The Minister said the opposition's overconfidence going into the election stemmed in part from the blitzkrieg of social media propaganda as well as faulty and procured opinion polls, which were apparently meant to hoodwink their foreign backers and a section of the international media into uncritically reporting that they were coasting home to victory, when they were indeed heading into the ravine of defeat.

The Minister said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, won the
presidential election fair and square, clinching the majority
of the votes cast and surpassing the constitutionally- stipulated 25% of votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all the states in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

''Going by the results, none of the opposition parties met any of the conditions stipulated for winning the presidential election. They didn't even come close, in spite of their pre-election grandstanding. They (opposition) keep leaning on some international observers to justify their fraudulent claim that the
election was rigged. They conveniently forgot what Ambassador Johnnie Carson, the revered US diplomat who co-led the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and International Republican Institute
(IRI) International Election Observation Mission to Nigeria said: that the APC candidate undoubtedly won the polls.

They also forgot that the African Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria said the atmosphere was generally calm and peaceful in 95% of the polling units visited,'' he said, adding that it is on the strength of these reports that many nations, including the US and the UK, wasted no time in congratulating the victorious APC Presidential Candidate.''he said

Mohammed slammed the opposition for continuously seeking to mislead the world by clutching at the weak straw that results were not immediately uploaded onto the IReV Portal, as if the portal has any role to play in the collation of results.

''The opposition's insinuation that the failure to immediately upload the result of the presidential election onto IReV affected the credibility of the election is a fraud. It is an act of blackmail and deceit by desperate individuals. The opposition Labour Party, in particular, will go down in the history books as the first-ever distant third-place finisher in a presidential election anywhere to have bold-facedly claimed victory,'' he said

When I look at individuals like lai Mohammed and the fact that these people once threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable, they also threatened to form a parallel government if they lose an election, I then appreciate the fact that Jonathan was a true democrat to the core.

Because the likes of Lai Mohammed and Co should have been serving jail terms for treason

I can't wait to see which portfolio will be given to Lai Mohammed by the new administration.

It is in their DNA. Don't blame them. It is what and who they are. Learn to endure their cry. They can't help it.

Liar don come again

shameless sore losers
