OPPOSITION ATTACKS FG AS PRESIDENCY LAMBASTS EU POLL OBSERVERS.

VOP Lagos July 5, 2023 1 min read

Standard bearers of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, have lampooned the Presidency for rejecting the European Union final report on the February 25 presidential election. The EU Observer Mission in its report faulted the polls owing to “enduring systemic weaknesses.” The election outcome has been disputed by the PDP and the LP and their candidates who alleged that the polls were not credible. But the Presidency in a statement on Sunday refuted claims by the EU that the election which produced President Bola Tinubu was flawed, describing the report by the EU observers as a “poorly done desk job.’’ The Chief Observer of the EU Election Election Observation Mission, Barry Andrews, had in a press briefing last week noted that “the election exposed enduring systemic weaknesses and therefore signal a need for further legal and operational reforms to enhance transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability.” He said the shortcomings in the law and electoral administration hindered the conduct of well-run and inclusive elections and damaged trust in the Independent National Electoral Commission.
