Former Labour Party candidate Yusuf Baba-Ahmed claims he and Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election, accusing the election results of manipulation.
Baba-Ahmed emphatically declared, “I will never stop saying it,” asserting that the election results were manipulated.
In an interview on Friday, Baba-Ahmed alleged significant irregularities in the electoral process, specifically targeting the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He claimed that the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IRev) was deliberately disabled, forcing the manual return of results, which, according to him, skewed the outcome.
“Not at all. In fact, we hold our heads high,” Baba-Ahmed stated. “When we look at it, 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.”
Baba-Ahmed further emphasized the Labour Party’s position and growth, comparing it favorably to the state of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the years leading up to the 2015 election.
He argued that the Labour Party is now in a stronger position, ready to challenge the status quo more effectively.
“We won the 2023 election. I will never stop saying it. Now the Labour Party as of today is in a better state than the CPC was in 2013/2014 leading up to the 2015 election, far better than it was,” he declared.
Highlighting the current issues facing Nigeria, Baba-Ahmed criticized the government for worsening insecurity, a declining economy, and rampant corruption.
He suggested that there might be a larger agenda at play, hinting at a potential plan to fragment Nigeria into six autonomous regions by 2027.
“Continue looking at the failures, the worsening insecurity, the declining economy, and the aggravated corruption that is now going on,” he urged.
“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.”
Baba-Ahmed’s comments have sparked renewed debate about the transparency and integrity of the 2023 elections, with many calling for a closer examination of the electoral process.
