APC reacts to US report on 2023 election

According to Vanguard, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the presidency commended the report but noted that external validation of its victory in the 2023 election was unnecessary.

The US Department of State and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour published the report, which highlighted human rights violations and practices in various countries, including Nigeria.

It added that despite the widespread irregularities, the 2023 general elections in Nigeria reflected the will of the people.

2023 Elections: PDP, LP kick against US report

However, the PDP and the Labour Party picked holes in the conclusion of the US report, expressing their commitment to strengthening democracy in Nigeria and stopping the move of the APC to turn the country into a one-party state.

Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s spokesperson, told journalists that the party is committed to the Nigerian people and will resist the move to turn the country into a one-party state.

On his part, Obiora Ifoh, the spokesperson of the Labour Party, said:

“With all said and done, we take solace in the fact that the report was fair enough to admit that there were irregularities, including but not limited to vote buying, ballot box snatching, intimidation and physical attacks on our party supporters, especially in Lagos.”
