NEC: ‘The Result Given To Peter Obi Was Allocated To Him’ – Okonkwo

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been the target of significant accusations from former Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo, who claims the electoral organization manipulated the results of the general elections in 2023.
In an interview on Sunday Politics on Channels Television, Okonkwo asserted that the results credited to Peter Obi of LP were “written” and “allocated” by INEC rather than representing the real votes cast.
He emphasized that the election results, especially in Lagos and Rivers States, were purposefully manipulated.

In a state like Lagos State, he claims, the LP candidate received nearly a million votes to win the presidency, but INEC lowered his score, while the results in Rivers were changed and rewritten to benefit the All Progressives Congress.
“There is no explanation to it until today,” he stated. Remember how I stated they wrote the results? Obi received the outcome that was put down for him. Proceed to Rivers State.

“No, the court is not telling you they wrote, or they did not write,” Okonkwo responded, echoing the Supreme Court’s decision that declared Tinubu and the APC the winners of the presidential election. The court has informed you that “you failed to provide the evidence to demonstrate substantial evidence that they wrote.” Where are you going to present the evidence?

“Yes, that is what it ought to be,” the former LP man responded when asked why his party was unable to allocate polling unit agents across the country’s polling units. Even the Electoral Act acknowledges that not all parties would have the funds to place agents in every polling station, which is why the word “may” is used throughout the law.

Why would you need an agent if you are working under an INEC that is honest and won’t tamper with the results? To plan the Nigerian election, INEC raised 400 billion naira.
