Former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Chief Bode George, has raised concerns about the 2023 election, alleging that INEC’s claim to be at 33% of election result collation when directed to announce the result should have invalidated the election.

He emphasized that the judiciary should not declare any winner but instead order a fresh rerun to ensure a free and fair electoral process. He stressed the importance of prioritizing the will of the people over the will of the judges.

In an interview with Arise TV news, George stated, “I’m addressing this issue without bias towards any political party. My party is the PDP, and I’m not saying ‘declare us’ or ‘declare party B or C.’ INEC itself admitted they were at 33% of collation when directed to announce results. That, in itself, should raise red flags. There should be no interference, and the process should be allowed to proceed without external manipulation. This is my point. Remember the millions suffering; this isn’t 2007 like during Yar’adua’s time. Should we continue down the wrong path?”
