The presidential held on the 23rd of February in the nation, in which the electoral umpire INEC, declared Muhammad Buhari as the winner of the election, displacing the major opposition party candidate, Abubakar Atiku.

Upon the victory, the opposition party PDP disagreed with the result of INEC and chose to take redress in court.

In his support for the People’s Democracy Party candidate, Atiku, the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo has committed himself to help Atiku get the desired victory in court.

According to him, the former president has claimed that the All Progressive Congress, perpetrated the victory of the election by circumventing the progress, making it lose the credibility it has to conduct a free and fair election.

The former president expressed his lack of confidence in the electoral umpire, INEC in the last concluded election. He said; “INEC is working with the Buhari’-led administration, to frustrate the credibility of a free and fair election.

Going further, he accused the Independent Electoral Commission of masterminding a relationship with the All Progressive Congress(APC), recruiting APC members as officials of INEC during the election.

He lamented that in the face of what is done in the just concluded election, Nigeria is should prepare themselves to face more disaster from the Independent Electoral Commission, saying that the electoral Umpire has lost its credibility.

Obasanjo also alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have embarked on the president’s self-succession project,

by recruiting collation officers who are already awarding results based on their projects to actualise the perpetuation agenda, in which the people will not matter and the votes will not count.

He equally said that the president’s henchmen were working round the clock in tandem with security and election officials, to perfect their rigging plan by computing results right from the ward level to local government,

state and national levels to allow Buhari, what will look like a landslide victory irrespective of the true situation and outcome of the election.

Obasanjo, who noted that “Abacha era is here,” urged Nigerians to rise up and do what they did in the time of Abacha and urged the international communities to keep an eye on the unfolding anti-democratic agenda of President Buhari.

While saying that the track record of the present INEC is fairly sordid, Obasanjo said “all men and women of goodwill and believers in democracy must be prepared for the worst from

INEC and their encourager’s and how to get Nigeria out of the electoral morass that the commission is driving us into.”
