THE Labour Party has stated that the All Progressives Congress’ “desperation to grab and retain power by foul means” must be stopped.
The party has noted that the alleged subterfuge of the APC is still going strong even more than a month after the elections.
Labour party stated in a statement signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the chief spokesperson, and Diran Onifade, the head of Obi-Datti Media, that while it follows the law to seek regress, the current administration has “resorted to mischief” and unending lies to maintain its hold on power.
“From the show of shame in Portharcourt to the drama in the Ibom Air aircraft, both of which they contrived, they have now moved to the circulation of a deep fake audio file aimed at promoting religious tension in the country.
“All these are meant to serve no other purpose than egregious mischief aimed at demarketing Peter Obi. If the goal is to create a credibility problem, the ploy has failed woefully. Peter Obi has long been on record as the only presidential candidate who has urged the Nigerians electorate not to vote for him on the basis of religion or tribe.
“We will therefore like to advice our beloved Nigerian people to remain focused on the task to take back the mandate we know was freely given to Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed through legitimate means.
“That is more important than to expect those who ran election on forged credentials and even fake Bishops to stop faking.
“They cannot stop being fraudulent because that is who they are,” the LP statement partly read.
