Political Parties Disagree With EU On 2023 Elections

The presidency has flayed the European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission (EOM) report on the 2023 general election, saying it is an attempt to ridicule the Nigerian electoral system and its umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

However, Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the election, Phrank Shaibu, hailed the EU Election Monitoring Group for stating in its report that the last election was, indeed, fraught with electoral irregularities and failed to meet the minimum standard of credibility. Shaibu lambasted President Bola Tinubu and his aide, Dele Alake, for trying to discredit a clearly credible report.
