I Won in 1999” — Olu Falae Reignites Election Controversy on June 12
As Nigeria marks June 12 Democracy Day, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, has stirred political waters by claiming he was the rightful winner of the 1999 presidential election. In a bold assertion, Falae insisted the results did not reflect the will of the people.
Falae, who ran against former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Nigeria’s return to civilian rule, said the truth must be acknowledged for democracy to grow stronger.
His statement adds new weight to ongoing national conversations about electoral transparency and historical accountability.
