She stated this while speaking during the ‘Mic On’ podcast titled, ‘The PEPC Judgment: Hopes met or dashed’ hosted by Channels TV presenter, Seun Okinbaloye, on Saturday, September 9.
“Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential election and will never be my president because he rigged his way to be declared the one with the majority votes. And as for me, that is a political coup. That is a civilian coup and it is the mandate of the people that was stolen.
“My focus and other Nigerians now is to ensure getting the mandate back.”
Tribunal’s verdict was a movie
Speaking on the tribunal's judgement, Yesufu said the judgment was like a movie and alleged that it could be seen on the faces of the judges that they were biased.
“I stayed for over 13 hours in the court and I heard all the judgement read by the Supreme Court justices. It was all a movie.
“And there was a trailer before the movie, it began when the former Supreme Court justice, Mary Odili spoke. It already preempted what we expected.”
