The former Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, has reaffirmed his stance that he and Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election.
During an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Friday, Baba-Ahmed asserted that he will continue to assert their victory of the 2023 poll.
He alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission switched off its Result Viewing portal, better know as IRev and resorted to manual result collation, which he believes compromised the election’s integrity.
He has maintained that he and Obi were the rightful winners of the election, despite the official results declaring another candidate victorious.
This claim has sparked controversy and highlights the ongoing disputes surrounding the 2023 presidential election. Baba-Ahmed’s insistence on their victory has sparked debate and raised questions about the transparency and credibility of the electoral process.
He said, “Not at all. In fact we hold our heads high. When we look at, where are the campaign promises of the APC, or the ongoing government? What have they achieved?
“The iRev was switched off. They returned the results manually. And then the Constitution was twisted, and the meaning of the English language was changed.
“We won the 2023 election. I will never stop saying it. Now the Labour Party as at today is in a better state than the CPC was in 2013/2014 leading up to the 2015 election, far better than it was.
“Continue looking at the failures, the worsening insecurity, the declining economy and aggravated corruption that is now going on.
“Add that to when Nigerians will now wake up to the realization that beyond 2027, there’s probably a grand scheme to dismember Nigeria into six autonomous zones because there’s no way to explain the failure, and because the only way is to carry those failures and run away.”
