February 27, (THEWILL) – Veteran Nollywood actor and spokesperson of Peter Obi’s Campaign Group, Kenneth Okonkwo, has lambasted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and it’s chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, for allegedly rigging the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria.
Taking to his verified Instagram page, Okonkwo rained curses on the electoral body and it’s chairman, claiming that he is sure his presidential candidate, Peter Obi, won in some states, but declared otherwise.
“Whoever rigs this election against Peter Obi will die a painful death from the Almighty God and the time starts now. Just watch and see.
“Peter Obi defeated APC at the National Chairman’s polling unit, he defeated APC at the DG of APC’s polling unit, defeated APC in Femi Gbajabiamila’s polling unit, he defeated APC in Lagos and throughout Nigeria and someone in INEC is telling us nonsense.
“They will perish in the most disastrous circumstances. This is one election they cannot steal by the grace of God. We move!” Kenneth Okonkwo wrote.
In another post, the seasoned filmmaker continued to lament.
“Prof Mahmood will go down in history as the worst Chairman of INEC in Nigeria. The process of election is to accredit the voters, count the votes loudly and openly in front of everyone, paste the results on a conspicuous place in the polling unit, upload the hardcopy of the results on INEC’s portal, upload the results on INEC’s server for all Nigerians.
“In most states, nobody has displayed pasted copies of polling unit results anywhere. Collation of results was to be mere formalities.
“Before results are announced by INEC at the collation centres, every Nigerian ought to have the results in their systems because it is already uploaded.
“Nobody has the uploaded results. Both the hardcopy and figures 48 hours after voting. How come in Lagos, Rivers, FCT, South East, South South and most Northern States there were no codes to transmit results but in Ekiti State, where APC purportedly scored 201,494, as against 11,397 that was allocated to Labour, there was a code to transmit results and the announcement was made within 24 hours after the election. It’s a shame. We will have a new Nigeria”, he stated.
