A former presidential campaign spokesperson for the Labour
Party, Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that all the results Peter Obi got in the 2023
general elections were written and allocated to him by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
Okonkwo lamented that until this moment, over two years
after the election, the electoral umpire has failed to upload the polling units
results to its portals as the law demands.
According to him, the LP candidate won the presidential
election with over a million votes in a place like Lagos State but his result
was reduced by INEC, while the results in Rivers were altered and rewritten in
favour of the All Progressives Congress.
“There is no explanation to it till today. Recall that I
said that they wrote the results. The result given to Obi was allocated to him,
that’s written. Go to Rivers State,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunday
Politics.
Reminded that the Supreme Court ruling had ended the matter,
declaring the Tinubu and the APC winners of the presidential election, Okonkwo
said, “No, the court is not telling you they wrote, or they did not write. The
court is telling you, ‘you did not produce the evidence to show substantial
evidence that they wrote’. Where will you bring the evidence?”
Asked why his party could not assign polling unit agents
across the polling units nationwide, the former LP man said, “Yes, that is what
it ought to be. And even the Electoral Act recognizes that all the parties will
not have the resources to have the agents in all the polling units, and that’s
why the law always uses the word ‘may’.
“Why do you need an agent if you are operating under INEC,
an INEC that is not corrupt and that will not manipulate the result? INEC
collected 400 billion naira to organize election in Nigeria.”
