Reacting to this movement, the chairman of the APC chapter in the United States, Professor Tai Balofin said:
“We wish to inform the public that a group of the Nigerian 2023 presidential election loser are currently protesting at the park in front of the White House. It is important to note that the US government is not involved or in support of the protest, as anybody can get approval for a peaceful protest.
“It is our belief that the Nigerian presidential election was free and fair, and Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu won the election. The majority of Nigerian voters gave him their mandate, and no propaganda, manipulation or tissue of lies can stop his inauguraton”.
