The Presidency has rejected the final report of the European Union on the February 25 presidential election, which identified some fault lines.
The Presidency, in a statement on Sunday by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, said: “We strongly reject, in its entirety, any notion and idea from any organisation, group and individual remotely suggesting that the 2023 election was fraudulent.”
Ripples Nigeria reports that the Chief Observer, EU Election Election Observation Mission, Barry Andrews, while addressing a press briefing in Abuja on June 27, noted that “the election exposed enduring systemic weaknesses and therefore signalled a need for further legal and operational reforms to enhance transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability.”
