Former presidential running mate of the Labour Party (LP), Datti Baba-Ahmed, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, of breaching the constitution during the 2023 election.
Naijaonpoint reports that Baba-Ahmed made the accusation during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
The LP chieftain insisted that the 2023 presidential election was rigged and called for a credible individual to head the INEC ahead of the 2027 polls.
He said, “A credible person, that’s all I want and not someone who will clearly read what the constitution provides 25 per cent in at least 2/3 of the states of the federation including the FCT and go ahead to breach the Constitution, put Nigeria in what it is today.
“If you recall, I told you that throughout history, individuals make or break nations, this man is going to be responsible for what has happened, it’s wrong.
“Another arm of government upheld what he did, as small as I am and by the service of God Almighty, it’s wrong what they upheld.
“The court has the power to say that you are wrong even if you are not wrong and we were not wrong, that election was rigged, up till now the results are not consistent with the Nigerian Constitution.”
