The candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and that of the Labour Party are currently challenging the victory of the President-elect in Court. They claimed that the presidential election results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC were manipulated in favour of the former Governor of Lagos State.
Bayo Onanuga while reacting to question about if Tinubu will appoint Wike as Minister said; “I don’t know; I can’t say anything about that. I don’t know what the president- elect is thinking. Maybe when he returns I will ask whether he wants to bring non-APC members into his government. There are ways he can collaborate with others, not just by appointments.”
The recent statement by Bayo Onanuga is currently generating a lot of mixed reactions from many Nigerians on social media platforms.
