In a swift reaction, the Labour Party (LP) has replied Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, over his recent statement on the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Recall that the minister had recently slammed opposition for rejecting the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting to the minister’s statement, the party lambasted the minister for pushing propaganda. The Labour said:
“We would rather not join issues with a man who is famous for constantly prescribing doses of expired and ineffectual propaganda to Nigerian.
“His ill-fated and hugely failed trip to the United Kingdom and United States where he attempted to redeem the grossly battered democratic credentials of this present administration; spending millions of tax payers money to defend an indefensible action is yet another tragedy of President Buhari’s 8 years leadership.
“It is only the blind that will continue to insist that the 2023 presidential election which was massively rigged was free, fair and credible.”
Going Further, the party insisted that opposition parties lost the election because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to do the right thing.
It added: “As we have said earlier, the opposition political parties lost the election because the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC jettisoned the electoral act, having not uploaded the result from the polling unit in real time as promised and in so doing, created room for riggers to have a field day. “The election witnessed unprecedented magnitude of violence, ballot snuffing, snatching and manipulations of result from the collation centres using thugs, security agencies, which included police, army amongst others.”
