The European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission (EOM) 2023 general elections report has been slammed by the Founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji.
He described the report as biased, presumptuous, unsubstantiated, absurd, and unacceptable.
Recall that the Chief Observer of EU EOM, Barry Andrews, who recently presented its final report on the 2023 elections in Abuja last week, blasted Nigeria’s electoral system.
However, in his reaction, Maharaj Ji, insisted that the EU report shouldn’t have come after leaders and presidents of various countries commended the election and congratulated the winner of the election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said the EU only had a little coverage of the election across Nigeria.
His words:
“We receive with dismay and consternation the European Union Electoral Observers report on the 2023 general elections. It was biased, presumptuous, unsubstantiated, absurd, and unacceptable.
“The report was in consonance with their desire. The report should not have come when all leaders and various presidents of various countries of the world have congratulated our president, Bola Tinubu, for winning the elections, including the judicial bodies and the Bar Association of Nigeria.
“With the European Union Electoral Observer mission’s very little coverage and monitoring of elections in over 176,000 polling units across Nigeria, the report was based on rumours, hearsay, unverifiable, and unsubstantiated orchestrated social media commentary.”
Going further, he alleged that the reports by the mission were based on rumours, hearsay, unverifiable, and unsubstantiated orchestrated social media commentary.
“We want to totally disregard it. It is completely condemnable. It is wrong for them to give any final report when they know that the presidential election petition tribunal is still sitting and on course.
“Therefore, they want to pervert the course of justice by coming at this time with a baseless, fraudulent, unsubstantiated report to thwart and influence the verdict of the tribunal.
“Nigeria is a sovereign nation, and they are not to teach us how to conduct our elections and govern ourselves.”
“Democracy has been our system of political administration since the beginning of creation. We have known them to play hide and seek where they have interests,” he added.
