Former LP campaign spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, accused Inec of cheating Peter Obi in 2023 elections

A former spokesman for the Presidential Campaign for the Labor Party in the 2023 election, Kenneth Okonkwo, has accused that the Independent National Election Commission (Inec) manipulated the results of a poll that supported all Progressive Congress (APC).

Okonkwo, who appeared in a television channel political program on Sunday night, said the numbers allocated to the LP President candidate, Peter Obi, were written by Inec.

He regretted that more than two years after the election, Inec failed to upload the results of the voting unit to the portal as determined by The Electoral Act, 2022.

Actor Veterans Nollywood insisted that Obi won a presidential election with more than one million votes in the state of Lagos but the results were reduced by Inec.

He also claimed that the results at the Rivers State were changed and rewritten to the Congress of All Progressive (APC).

“There is no explanation for that to this day. Remember that I say that they wrote the results. The results given to Obi were allocated to him; it was written. Go to Rivers State,” Okonkwo said.

In the decision of the Supreme Court which declared the President of the Tinubu soccer as the winner of the presidential election, Thepespian added: “No, the court did not tell you that they wrote, or they did not write. The court told you, ‘You do not produce evidence to show the substantial evidence they write’. Where will you bring evidence?”

About why his former party did not assign a voting unit in all national polling units, Okonkwo noted: “Yes, that is what it should be. And even the election action acknowledged that not all parties will have resources to have agents in all voting units, and that is why the law always uses the word ‘May’.

“Why do you need an agent if you operate under Inec, Inec is not corrupt and that will not manipulate the results? Inec collects N400 billion to regulate the election in Nigeria.”
