capital, calling on INEC to cancel the outcome of the contest in which the All Progressives Congress candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was declared winner.
Addressing journalists at a joint press conference, leaders of the coalition including Capt Augustine Okon, the director-general of the Peter Obi Campaign Council , Comrades Ifot Nathaniel Ifot, and Bernard Titis of the CSOs coalition, expressed dismay at what they described as “daylight robbery of Nigerians of their votes”, and condemned INEC for not living up to its promise of delivering transparent and frauds-free elections.
“As you are aware, on February 25, 2023, Nigerians trooped out in their numbers to participate in an election INEC promised it would be free, fair and credible. Alas, we all are witnesses to the daylight robbery and declaration of results alien to any constitutional or approved electoral process. “We need to let the world know that as much as we reject the APC and its rigging rascality, the blatant compromise of the electoral process by the ruling PDP in Akwa Ibom State should also be rejected in totality,” Okon said.
