Obasanjo Calls For Cancellation Of Presidential Poll, Says Election Was Manipulated
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo said the Saturday’s presidential election failed integrity test and as such, the election must be cancelled.
He particularly asked the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, to save Nigeria from the looming danger and disaster waiting to happen.
He said this in a statement titled “2023 Nigeria Presidential Election: An Appeal For Caution and Rectification.”
According to him, it is no secret that INEC officials at operational level have been allegedly compromised following the manual transmission of results which he alleged had been manipulated and doctored.
Obasanjo made this known in a new year message titled “My appeal to all Nigerians particularly Young Nigerians.”
The former president noted that none of the president candidates is a saint, but when compared on the knowledge, discipline and what they can offer, Obi has an edge.
Obasanjo’s letter is coming barely few hours after the party agents staged a walkout.
He told President Muhammadu Buhari that “tension is building up and please let all elections that do not pass the credibility and transparency test be cancelled and be brought back with areas where elections were disrupted for next Saturday, March 4, 2023, and BVAS and Server officials be changed.”
