The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu, has advised the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government against compromising the integrity of the 2023 general election, stressing that the major opposition party does not want to be short-changed again.
This is even as he called on the European Union to send a high-level and large-sized observer mission to Nigeria to observe and monitor the 2023 general election, given the country’s large population.
In a statement signed by, Special Adviser on Media and Communication to the PDP National Chairman, Simon Imobo-Tswam, Ayu said, “We are prepared as a party to do the needful as far as the 2023 general election is concerned. But we are worried about the tendency and capacity of the State to manipulate the critical technologies to our disadvantage. We need to pay close attention so that we are not short-changed again.
“In the past, those were areas where the ruling APC did what they love doing best: bringing votes that subverted the will of the people. Even though we are going to police our votes, it’s important that the EU sends a large number of observers ahead of the elections.”
