The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s comments over the 2023 elections as gloating over Nigeria’s worst election in recent memory.
It also accused the President of attempting to bully the judiciary, which is currently handling electoral petitions, into giving legitimacy to a clearly flawed election.
National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said this at a briefing in Abuja, on Friday.
Ologunagba called on the international community to impose sanctions, including travel bans on the President and all those involved and in manipulating the outcome of the 2023 elections.
He was responding to claims by President Buhari that the opposition lost the 2023 elections to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, because of overconfidence and lack of strategy.
The President said it in the State House when he received the Progressive Governors Forum led by its Chairman, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State.
Buhari had said: “They were already telling their foreign backers that they would defeat the APC.
“Our party blended confidence with caution, we worked hard and won. Now, their overconfidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else.”
