The former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Monday said, President Goodluck Jonathan won the April presidential election. However, he claimed that some of the results attributed to Jonathan in some parts of the country were exaggerated.

"I believe Jonathan won the election but that the returns attributed to him in some parts of the country obviously appeared exaggerated.

"The inflated tally (in favour of the President) detracted from what would have been a well-deserved victory,'' Tinubu said.

Tinubu made this known during a lecture he presented in Chatham House, London. The title of the lecture was "Democracy and the Rebirth of Opposition in Nigeria."
