Yakubu,
in a video clip on Sunday, praised the rancour-free conduct of Ghana’s
election, pointing out lessons for Nigerian politicians.
Reacting in an interview with
Punch, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh,
accused Yakubu of manipulating the 2023 presidential election to favour
President Bola Tinubu and asked him to apologise to Nigerians.
He insisted that the INEC boss
should be the one to learn from Ghana and not the other way round.
He noted that there were no
stories of ballot boxes snatching and glitches during Ghana’s presidential
election.
Ifoh said though the LP had
moved on from what transpired in 2023, “It is a shame that the INEC Chairman
should be talking when, in this case, he should be the one to learn from Ghana.
“He was the architect of
exactly what Nigerians are suffering today.
“He owes Nigerians an apology.
We didn’t hear of electoral violence, snatching of boxes or any glitches
whatsoever (in Ghana). The people spoke through their votes. Their votes
counted and the Ghanaians are happy with it,”
