Election: APC Did Not Just Rig Election Results, INEC Did The Rigging On Their Behalf –Ezeh Emmanuel

According to Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel, a former governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State and Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency in the recently concluded polls, the All Progressives Congress (APC) did not rig the 2023 general elections. Instead, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) carried out the rigging on behalf of the ruling party.

During an interview with the national daily, THE SUN, the LP chieftain explained that elections consist of several stages: party politics, campaigns, the election itself, result declaration, and the adjudication phase. Drawing from a quote by the former Russian Czar Joseph Stalin, who famously stated, “the people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do,” Ezeh claimed that INEC, as the electoral umpire, let down the Nigerian populace. He emphasized, “The world should know that in 2023, APC did not just rig election results, INEC did the rigging on their behalf while in most cases, the Judiciary simply legalized the heist committed by INEC and APC.”

Ezeh expressed his frustration over his defeat at the Ebonyi State National and State Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in Abuja. He had filed a case contesting the victory of Emmanuel Uguru, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, who was declared the winner of the Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency seat by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Ezeh alleged that the court dismissed his case based on technicalities.
