…Calls for declaration of Obi winner
From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja
Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, the national youth leader of the Labour Party (LP), has called the 2023 presidential election a political disappointment on Monday and demanded that Mr. Peter Obi be declared the winner.
Ahanotu contends that the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) results do not accurately reflect and match with the votes cast by Nigerians at their various polling places.
The Youth Leader in a statement on Monday, said: “Thank you for your massive votes to the Labour Party. It’s no longer news that the election that was conducted on 25th Febreuary, 2023 is marred by massive irregularities; and could not just be regarded as a political disappointment but has consequentially endangered Nigeria democracy. An election where the electoral umpire INEC deliberately refused to respect their establishment Act the, the Electoral Act 2022′.
“An election where the people’s popular choice at the various polling units across Nigeria is under serious jeopardy. An election that even some key observers have complained about its process.
“It is now obvious to us that some unscrupulous elements hiding under the electoral umpire and in visible partnership with the electoral umpire INEC have concluded to derail our growing democracy. This is unacceptable.
“We hereby demand that His Excellency Mr Peter Obi be declared the winner of 2023 Presidential Election and be returned as elected with the popular demand principle.
“That further collation of the various state election result in the International Conference Center ICC be suspended henceforth without same result being uploaded or readily available on the INEC IREV platform.
“That the already announced Ekiti State result be revisited and dully verified before final collation. Very important
“Temporarily, I want to beg all Obideients to remain focused and issue based despite this level of provocation because our victory is certain.”
