Your party stole our victory – Labour Party replies Buhari after he said opposition parties lost 2023 election because of overconfidence

Labour Party has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s claim of opposition parties losing the 2023 presidential election due to over confidence, complacency and bad tactics.

The Labour Party in a statement released by its acting National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said the President’s statement was another desperate attempt by the ruling party to seek validation for an alleged electoral fraud which it now celebrates as victory.

They also claimed that Tinubu didn’t win the election because the presidential election was allegedly “manipulated and rigged beyond comprehension.”

The oppostion party which insisted that they won the election, accused the APC of stealing its victory.

The statement read;

“We want to point it out clearly to President Muhammadu Buhari that his position on the outcome of the said election was 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 so doing, created room for that election to be rigged.
