The vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, on Wednesday, said the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, won the disputed presidential election conducted on Saturday February 25.
The LP vowed to reclaim its mandate which it said was stolen.
Datti Baba-Ahmed disclosed this in a statement he signed on Wednesday, in a response to the declaration by the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, winner of the presidential election.
According to him, there was no election because INEC utterly refused to to be transmit results electronically.
“It’s our position that the results of the purported election did not meet the minimum standard of elections.
“We will continue the struggle and we urge Nigerians to continue to struggle for their rights.
“Irrespective of the low level of confidence that we have in the system, we appeal to Nigerians to move out and vote for the Labour Party in the forthcoming governorship and state assembly elections.
“The Electoral Act 2022 provides that election result shall be electronically transmitted, this was not done, it means the election did not hold.”
“We ask Nigerians to continue to exercise their civic duties like they did in the last exercise.
“We won this election, they refused to upload the results on IREV, the Nigerian people are winners, Nigerians are waiting for Peter Obi and I to get the power.
“We won the election as Labour Party, we are going to claim our mandate as Labour Party, we are going to rescue Nigeria as Labour Party.“ He stated.
