Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the outcome of the 2023 general elections reflects the desire of the people.
Abubakar made the appeal in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, in Abuja on Thursday on the occasion marking the International Day for Democracy.
Abubakar urged INEC and other agencies of government playing roles in the electoral process to ensure that the outcome of the election was a true reflection of the desires of the people.
The PDP presidential flagbearer said that the celebration of democracy was, indeed, a celebration of the people’s power.
He disclosed further that although there had been significant improvements in the processes that elections were conducted in Nigeria, but “the 2023 episode was an opportunity for INEC to show that the commission had grown beyond partisanship.
