2023 polls massively rigged, not free, fair, credible -Labour Party insists

By -


(Nigeria) Labour Party, LP, has against insisted that the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government massively rigged the 2023 general elections.
Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Obiora Ifoh, who stated this in Abuja, on Sunday, said: “A few days after President Muhammadu Buhari made that heavily flawed and erroneous remarks on the outcome of the 2023 presidential election claiming that opposition parties lost the presidential election due to their “overconfidence, complacency and bad tactical moves," it is hearth-wrenching to hear the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, still progressing with that warped, illogical and incongruous concept.
“We will rather not join issues with a man who is famous for constantly prescribing doses of expired and ineffectual propaganda to Nigerians.
“His ill-fated and hugely failed trip to United Kingdom and United States where he attempted to redeem the grossly battered democratic credentials of this current administration; spending millions of tax payers money to defend an indefensible action is yet another tragedy of President Buhari's eight years leadership.
“It is only the blind that will continue to insist that the 2023 presidential election which was massively rigged was free, fair and credible.
“As we have said earlier, the opposition political parties allegedly lost the election because the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, jettisoned the Electoral Act, having not uploaded the result from the polling unit in real time as promised and in so doing, created room for riggers to have a field day.
“The election witnessed unprecedented magnitude of violence, ballot snuffing, snatching and manipulations of result from the collation centres using thugs, security agencies, which include police, army amongst others.
“All these issues and a lot more were captured, well documented and have been taken to the appeal tribunal and the matters are on going. Mr. Lai Mohammed need not preempt the tribunal as his actions are contemptuous and could be used against him.”
