Today the ACN released a statement saying that the 2011 election were rigged and denounced the International Monitors from  the European Union, African Union and the Commonwealth and others who endorsed the elections.

But NaijaPundit reproduces a story from 2011 where Bola Tinubu admitted enforce an international audience at the Chatham House, London where he said that President Jonathan won the 2011 elections fairly NAND squarely.

Former Lagos State governor and the National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Bola Tinubu,, said on Monday (July 18, 2011) that President Goodluck Jonathan won the 2011 Presidential election, fairly and squarely.

Mr Tinubu gave the endorsement at the Chatham House, London.

He was presenting a paper, entitled: “Democracy and the Rebirth of Opposition in Nigeria.”

“I believe Jonathan won the election but that the returns attributed to him in some parts of the country obviously appeared exaggerated,” the Europe Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted Mr Tinubu as saying.

Mr Tinubu noted that due to the unique circumstances of Mr Jonathan’s rise to power, the public saw him as a distinctive figure.
