Kenneth Okonkwo, the spokesperson for the 2023 Labour Party Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of bias.
Concerning the ongoing presidential election petition tribunal, Okonkwo stated that INEC is attempting to please a specific group.
He went on to say that with such actions, INEC, led by Prof Yakubu Mahmood, had broken the Guinness World Record for the worst electoral commission on the planet.
The leader of the Labour Party expressed dismay while claiming that INEC is objecting to its own documents in order to please some parties in the tribunal.
According to the actor-turned-politician, INEC’s actions have made Nigeria an international embarrassment.
Taking to his Twitter account on Tuesday, he wrote:
We are back today again at the Presidential Election Petition Court (COA) for the continuation of our Petition. I can confidently say that INEC, under Prof Yakubu Mahmood, has broken the Guinness world record as the worst electoral commission on planet earth. How can INEC stand up in court to say, “Mi Lord, I object to the tendering of INEC’S certified true copies of the election results”.
This institution is becoming an international embarrassment to Nigeria. I have never seen where an organisation, which by law ought to be neutral, is shamelessly objecting to its own documents, just to please some quarters. Well, God is in control and we put our trust in Him.
