A coalition of three political parties that took part in the Saturday, February 25, 2023, general elections have called for an outright cancellation of the exercise over alleged widespread rigging and manipulation of results.
The coalition comprising the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) therefore asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to organise fresh elections that will be credible and transparent.
They made these calls during a press conference held in Abuja on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
While delivering a statement on behalf of the coalition, the Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure, accused the chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, of compromise.
He alleged that officials of the commission colluded with some elements from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to alter the results of the presidential and national assembly elections conducted on Saturday.
The coalition also lamented that the results that are being announced at the collation centre in Abuja are in conflict with what were recorded at various polling units across the country.
