He said his group was at the INEC to thank the Commission for standing firm against intimidation, propaganda and all forms of blackmail by the people he described as "bad losers."
The Natives leader specifically cautioned the Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti against inflammatory statements.
He said:
"We want to particularly warn the LP vice president candidate, Yusuf Datti-Ahmed to apply caution because Nigeria is a country and not The Base University. We have come to INEC to affirm that elections were conducted and APC, PDP, NNPP, LP and other political parties went into the contest.
"Some people have been going round the country inciting other people, calling for a taboo, they are calling for Interim national government that will never happen, not in Nigeria, not in any African country that we support.
"America is currently handling insurrection against her own state, so we are certain that America, United Kingdom and other Nations will not promote insurrection in our Nation Nigeria.
"Our message is very clear, this is one indivisible country and it benefits nobody that the country goes into flame. We have said that elections had been won and lost, on this presidential election Bola Ahmed Tinubu won clearly."
INEC, FGN face N77b compensation claim from e-voting innovators
Meanwhile, Dr Adah Edache Obekpa and Renaissance Network Africa (RNA) have filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) over alleged suppression of their contributions to the introduction of electronic voting (E-voting) in Nigeria.
Dr Obekpa, a US-based medical professional, and RNA, an organisation working for the unification of Africa and its Diaspora through trade, tourism, and innovative endeavours, claim to have proposed the E-voting system to INEC in 2010 and presented the "Renaissance I-voting Proposal for INEC" to Prof Mahmud Jega on behalf of INEC in October 2010.
According to Dr Obekpa and RNA, the I-voting proposal for INEC is the same in contents, features, design, and operation as the Biometric Verification System (BIVAS) tech device and INEC online result viewing portal (IReV).
