The chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the election results in areas where voter intimidation took place during the Guber and State Houses of Assembly elections on Saturday, March 18, IGBERETV reports.

In a statement released on Saturday night, Abure also asked INEC to conduct fresh polls in areas where voters were attacked.

The statement in part reads;

“The leadership of the Labour Party has watched with trepidation the ongoing rape of democracy in Nigeria as being supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. Today, the INEC led by the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu has clearly proved to the world that the outcome of the February 25th Presidential Election which denied Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the victory which Nigerians graciously gave him was not a ‘glitch’ as infamously claimed but a well orchestrated plot to favour a particular political party and candidate.

What transpired today across the nation was a complete sham as serious thuggery, violence and suppression of voters prevailed unchecked. People were prevented from going to vote for candidates of their choice, especially when they perceive you are supporting the opposition party.

There were also incidences of ballot snatching, intimidation of voters and high level of vote buying. These electoral crimes were very visible in Rivers, Lagos, Enugu, Edo, Delta and several other states.

There was also high level of voter apathy apparently because people have lost faith in the electoral process. They sincerely believe that it was not worth it after what happened on February 25, where the mandate given to the LP was stolen. People believe that their votes will not count anymore. So INEC has succeeded in mismanaging all the gains that we have made in the electoral reforms.

The Rivers state government used the state officials to harass voters. In Enugu, one of our supporters was shot and the entire Enugu North senatorial zone was invaded by thugs. In Lagos, the APC sponsored thugs invaded polling units where our candidate has huge supporters. In Edo state, the thugs had a free day, unleashing maximum violence. It is very chaotic across the nation and it is very unfortunate.

Security agencies look the other way when there is violence. It is very apparent that even the security agencies are equally compromised. We are very far from true democracy. The wishes and aspirations of the people have been defeated. What we have in Nigeria is civilian dictatorship.

We therefore condemn the entire process and called for the cancellation of results from the polling units where voter intimidation and other forms of crisis were witnessed. We also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to rein in the Inspector General of Police to fish out all the officers that have compromised in today’s election and mete appropriate sanctions.”

SpecialAdviser:
I know that after the presidential election where some parties were taken unawares and where Wike rigged successfully for APC, most governors will go back to the drawing board and re-strategies on how to come to deal with Obidients.

It's a shame that these criminals will do everything possible to destroy the hope of the masses. My major problem is Buhari subjecting Nigerians to all manner of hardship with currency and fuel scarcity.

Our prayer is for Obi's success in the court. I believe we will surely come out victorious in all these. Congrats Obidients for putting PDAPC to their toes and making them shake for once. I believe those who won will try and be careful this time. I believe they learnt their lessons.
Please do not cause any chaos for the respect of Peter Obi our national leader. All we want is a better country where youths will not be JAPAing to other countries for slavery. We Africans die in the mediterranean sea trying to reach the same place our leaders loot our money to develop. Too bad

Ceenachi:
It's obvious APC can't win elections without rigging, the master of rigging was rigged out by PDP in Edo state Oshiomohle). Oshiomohle, Inec, nasiru, Wike, and bubu and the president-select not elect because he didn't win the election these are the people holding Nigeria hostage, my obidient people don't give up your struggles to rescue Nigeria from bad Leadership, we are at point of winning this battle, if Obidient must win this struggle of rescue Nigeria, the time is now.

Go and cancel it and then conduct your own.
