In a fast response to the federal government’s stance on the European Union’s dissolution over the 2023 election, the Labour Party referred to the President’s comment disparaging the study as “medicine after death.”
The EU study was one of many international observers who said that the election was manipulated in favor of the ruling party, according to a statement from the party signed by Pastor Obiora Ifoh, National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party.
“The leadership of the Labour Party has noted with dismay the statement by the Federal Government discrediting the European Union’s conclusion on the 2023 General Election wherein it faulted the modalities by which the conclusion was reached,” the statement’s opening line reads.
“We view this Federal Government face-saving maneuver, which comes days after the report’s submission, as weak and after-death medication.
The administration will find it interesting to know that the European Union’s report is just one of many from other international observers who have referred to the election results as a fraud and an exercise that did not represent the majority of Nigerians’ wishes.
“The Labour Party supports the stance taken by the EU observation mission. We have always maintained that the APC and their candidate were the major beneficiaries of a huge election rigging.
What the FG is claiming is only an afterthought and an obscene attempt to hide the truth. Even those who are blind or deaf may hear and understand that this election was rigged.
Even the deaf and the blind can hear and feel the huge bits of evidence that are all around them. In the interest of the country and future generations, we only hope that the judiciary would administer justice without partiality or fear.
No amount of slander, denial, or argument will change the fact that the party in power lacks the support of the voters. “Nigerians already know the genuine winner of the 2023 presidential election.
“We must also keep in mind that whatever stance INEC has adopted, it has done so actively in collusion with the Federal Government to mislead the electorate and demonstrates that INEC is in no way independent.
“We are aware that the Commission’s decisions are subject to the whims and fancies of the government. However, Nigerians look to the legal system for justice. That is our current situation, Obiora said in the statement.
