Paul Ibe, media aide to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar,
has raised the alarm, alleging that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,
has begun the move to rig the 2027 general elections.
According to Ibe, who spoke in a YouTube interview, the
ruling party, knowing that it has nothing to show after more than two years,
has opted for rigging as the only available option.
He alleged that President Bola Tinubu-led APC is working
hard to “ensure that there is no opposition, whether it’s in the independent
media, civil society or political parties, that is what they are doing”.
He further claimed that the battle against opposition
figures is “because they (APC) have nothing to offer after two years retaining
mandate”.
“The only way for them to win an election is to begin the
process of rigging it and that process has already started”.
Ibe also lamented that the democracy, which he claimed “was
purchased at a very high price”, has been replaced with dictatorship under the
current administration.
“The democracy that we have been practicing since 1999, was
purchased at a very high price. A lot of activists were killed in that process.
“I believe that those who sacrificed their lives for what we
are enjoying today, they will be sad in their graveyards seeing what is playing
out now.
“What is playing out is dictatorship and that is why people
like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated”, he added.
