The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has again raised the alarm over alleged undue pressure by the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government, on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to compromise the 2023 general elections.
The PDP National Chairman spoke in Abuja, while receiving the European Union Election Exploratory Mission to Nigeria, led by Mrs. Mette Bakken, at the PDP National Secretariat, Abuja, yesterday,
“In the past, those were areas where the ruling APC did what they love doing best: bringing votes that subverted the will of the people. Even though we are going to police our votes, it’s important that the EU sends a large number of observers ahead of the elections. “We appreciate the efforts of the EU and thank the Observer Missions for their continued interest in the democratization process in Nigeria which is close to 25 years. We want the world to know that what is happening in Nigeria is democratic, transparent and credible.”
In response to a question as to whether the freedom of expression was being stifled, Ayu said: “To the best of my knowledge, Nigerians are very vibrant people. Even under military rule, we spoke our minds.
