Elder statesman and one of the leaders of the apex Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo has dared the Federal Government to arrest him over his statement that he would not recognize President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the 2019 presidential election until proven by the courts.

Adebanjo, had during an interview described the 2019 presidential election as a farce, saying he would not recognize Buhari who was declared winner of the election as president-elect.

Adebanjo, who also expressed optimism that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar would get justice at the court argued that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wrongly declared President Buhari as winner of the election.

“The election was a farce. I don’t regard Buhari as president. Buhari was wrongly declared winner by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). When we get to court, we would know who the real president is.

“How can you call Buhari president with the way the presidential election was conducted in a 21st century Nigeria? Look at the elections. They were completely militarized. Corps members were openly kidnapped to rig the elections,” Adebanjo had said.
