‘Nothing Surprising’ – Sowore Rubbishes Presidential Election Results

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has rubbished the results of the just-concluded 2023 presidential election.

Speaking in his state of the nation address on Wednesday, the presidential candidate stated that the election results do not reflect the will of the people.

Sowore asserted that the 2023 presidential election did not meet any legal requirements of a free, fair, and credible election, describing it as a fraudulent election.

The media entrepreneur said he was not surprised about the outcome of the election, saying that the political gladiators have no interest in organizing a free and fair election.

He said: “This particular election, by their own standard, did not meet any of the legal requirements that say every election result must be scanned and uploaded to the INEC server. But there is nothing new about it, before this election, I had said INEC wasn’t ready for this election.

“We categorically condemn the election that was held on the 25th of February as a fraudulent election that didn’t meet the standard of what should be called a free, fair, and credible election.

“There is nothing surprising about it. We knew that these criminals in our system have no interest in organizing a free and fair election. What they did was a selection as they usually do, they have just given you the candidate of the choice of the criminal political elite in Nigeria.

“Any figures, either for me or against me or them or against them that you see during this election were concocted and manufactured fraudulently.”

Naija News reported that the AAC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) had called for the cancellation of the presidential election.

The opposition parties also demanded the resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu.
