The Labour Party on Friday said its candidate, Peter Obi won the February 25, 2023, presidential poll. The party insisted that its mandate was “stolen” saying President Muhammadu Buhari was aware of it. The Labour Party was responding to Buhari’s comments that the opposition parties lost the election because they were relying on foreign support. The candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu was declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
In a statement by the acting National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, the Labour Party said is very worried and disturbed with the statement from the office of the President. “We want to point it out clearly to President Muhammadu Buhari that his position on the outcome of the said election was false, untrue, and it is not a true reflection of what played out during the election.
There are several reasons why opposition political parties lost the 2023 election; the first is that the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) snubbed the electoral act wherein it failed to upload the result from the polling unit in real time as promised and in disregard to the laws guiding the election. The INEC by doing so created room for that election to be rigged.

The idea was to cut down on waste and bring transparency and accountability into the award of contracts, which she did excellently.
