APC Already Preparing For Presidential Rerun.
“Rumours have it that those in government are already planning for a rerun”
The suspended National Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, has urged members of the party to be alert following information that the All Progressives Congress, APC, was already preparing for a possible rerun of the 2023 presidential election.
This, he explained, was because the ruling party was aware the tide was heavily tilted against it in the ongoing legal challenge to the presidential election results as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Abure said this during an online meeting held with Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy, led by Prof Eddie Oparaoji, the Labour Party Diaspora Chairman in the United States, in Abuja on Monday.
The acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement, quoted Abure as calling on the over 10 million members of the party to be “on the alert and get ready to further humiliate APC and its government in the polls if their sinister plot fails to materialise.”
He said: “Rumours have it that those in government are already planning for a rerun, and this is one of the support we will be canvasing from you. We should also be getting prepared because we should not be unaware since all those in government are already preparing for a rerun.

“So, we will need your engagement and support on this aspect if par adventure it happens today, that the election is nullified, which is not what we are asking for because we are asking for an outright declaration of Peter Obi as the President of Nigeria.
“We believe strongly that we won that election given the statistics we have, given the result we have, we are not expecting anything less than the declaration of Peter Obi as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But supposing that didn’t happen, as the government is believed to be planning for a rerun, it will not be out of place for us to prepare for a rerun election.
“Having said this by the side, I must say clearly that we have put all our evidence before the court. We are very hopeful that the tribunal will act in our favour.
“We are very hopeful that supposing the matter gets to the higher court, the Supreme Court, in this case, it will also act in our favour. We are keeping our hope and confidence alive.
“In nine months, we can change the political narratives of this country, and we must build on that successes so that we can have a more formidable party that we can strategically position for the downtrodden people of Nigeria.”
In his contribution to the discussion, the Director of the ObiDatti Presidential Campaign, Ambassador Oseloka Obaze, urged Obi-Datti members in the diaspora to see the struggle for recovering the party’s mandate as a collective responsibility and one that no one could actually be abandoned for any other reason.
He said: “Great countries of the world are built by the country’s citizens, and I think we have enormous human capital in the diaspora. What we need to do is to be able to harvest them, bring them home and make Nigeria a great place.
“The process is ongoing; the campaign to change this nation is not just an event; it is a process, a long-drawn process. How long it is going to last, we don’t know, but I think what we serve as the most and best is to remain focused on our various sectors; you that are in the diaspora do what you can do to support us; we that are in the trenches, we will continue to keep the ground.”
