2023 general elections were fraudulent – Comrade Iche By Ifeoma Ikem

Iche who made the call while addressing newsmen in Lagos, described 2023 general elections as fraudulent noting that the INEC Chairman and his team were given enough time and every single facility needed for the elections.
According to him, Ninty eight percent of Nigerians gave INEC almost 100% trust because of his words and promises.
“He went to Chattan house in London to explain the modalities, rules and regulations on how the 2023 elections will be conducted.
“When the electoral act was signed by President Mohammadu Buhari, Nigerians were happy and at peace that we were going to get it right as being done in other countries”.
He said that INEC spent so much money, gave hope to Nigerias and Nigerians trooped out to exercise their civic rights.
“It was only in this election period that Nigerians were even paying money to get their PVCs, even those who have never voted before in their life time did because they believed that the system was going to be different without knowing it was going to be fraudulent.
“Even some in diaspora were around to get their PVC so as to enable them exercise their civic rights, they all went to their polling units, expecting INEC to do what they promised to do but to the shock of everyone the reverse was the case”, he added.
Iche regrettably noted that the whole world is making mockery of Nigeria of which they were all eager to see how INEC would conduct a free, fair and credible election.
“Nigeria could have entered into the world book of record and they could have been a reference to other countries but INEC failed everyone.
“Even the presiding officers responsible for conducting elections had to cry out that the results were manipulated.
“Even to the point where some state were having the same figures from different parties”.
He, therefore, demand as an ambassador for peace and human group for EFCC to investigate and arrest the INEC umpire immediately.
“INEC must give us an account on how they spent the money given to them, if they knew they were not going to conduct credible elections they should have saved us from the embarrassment.
” Why did they allow Nigerians to suffer in getting their PVC and also going to queue up to cast their votes, why did they waste our time, why did they go to the world to make mockery of Nigeria, why take Nigeria for a ride?
“They have made mockery of the  giant of Africa, if the elections were credible enough the people that are going to court now would not have gone there.
“Nigerians have not recovered from the 2023 general election, the same elections that subjected us to buying money in our own country, same election that made CBN governor and president of the country to divert money so as to prevent vote buying and yet it turned out to be what we are still suffering till now and it’s killing us.
In his words, if they have shared this money to all and placed whomever they wished as the president it would have been better at least we will know that we are enjoying the money allocated instead of this total waste.
“We are suffering for what we don’t know of, even the returning officers came out openly to say that the INEC chairman forced them to forge results.
“The relevant agencies who are supposed to act on these confessions kept silent and it’s like there maybe a conspiracy.
“Now, the INEC chairman, Mahmood is left to go scout free, we can’t take these agencies serious because this is not what Mahmood promised us.

Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements

 

 

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold economic reforms and improved security efforts as the President marks three years in office.

 

 

 

 

In a goodwill message on Thursday to commemorate Tinubu’s third anniversary as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Buratai said the administration had taken courageous decisions that would leave a lasting impact on Nigeria’s development.

 

 

 

According to him, President Tinubu broke a long-standing cycle that had hindered national growth by removing fuel subsidy and implementing foreign exchange reforms aimed at stabilising the naira and strengthening the economy.

 

 

 

 

He noted that the reforms were beginning to yield positive results, citing the global acceptance of Nigerian debit cards, the gradual revival of local refineries, access to student loans, and ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the country.

 

 

 

“The FCT Administration has also recorded remarkable progress, completing major road projects that remained unfinished for over 16 years,” Buratai stated.

 

 

 

The former army chief also praised the administration’s security efforts, saying renewed military offensives against insurgents, terrorists and bandits had led to notable successes across various parts of the country.

 

 

 

He specifically lauded recent joint operations involving Nigerian and United States forces against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East, as well as intensified counter-banditry operations in the North-West.

 

 

 

 

“We have seen notorious ISWAP commanders being neutralised. I congratulate the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of intelligence agencies for their efforts,” he said.

 

 

 

 

Buratai, however, acknowledged that challenges remained, stressing the need for more aggressive military operations and intelligence-driven strategies in the coming year.

 

 

 

 

While urging Nigerians to remain hopeful, he said celebrating the President’s achievements did not amount to ignoring the difficulties facing the nation.

 

 

 

 

“Because you truly care, you have shown the courage to trade short-term comfort for long-term hope. Nigerians need your reassurances, and that is why we remain optimistic and full of confidence,” he added.

The retired military officer reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration and expressed confidence that the foundation being laid by the government would deliver a brighter future for the country.

 

He also prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom, strength and good health for the President as he continues to lead Nigeria.

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers

 

 

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of pupils and teachers abducted during an attack on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

 

 

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Oyo State wing of the union described the situation as increasingly distressing, particularly following the emergence of a video allegedly released by the abductors showing the victims pleading for their freedom.

 

 

The union said the footage had heightened fears over the welfare of the abducted pupils and teachers, describing their ordeal as heartbreaking and unacceptable.

 

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers

According to the NUT, no child or teacher deserves to be subjected to such traumatic experiences, adding that the prolonged captivity of the victims has continued to inflict psychological pain on their families, colleagues and the wider education community.

 

 

 

The union called on the Federal Government, Oyo State Government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards securing the immediate and safe release of the victims.

 

 

“This is not a moment for hesitation. It is a moment for coordinated, intelligence-driven efforts to ensure the immediate and safe release of all abducted pupils and teachers,” the statement read.

 

 

While acknowledging ongoing interventions by security agencies and government authorities, the union stressed that time was of the essence, warning that every additional day in captivity deepens the trauma suffered by the victims.

 

 

The NUT urged security operatives to strengthen surveillance, improve community intelligence gathering and deploy all necessary operational and diplomatic measures to facilitate the rescue of the abductees.

 

 

It also appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support rescue efforts by providing credible information that could assist security agencies.

 

 

 

“The safety of our children and teachers must remain a collective priority,” the union stated.

 

 

Reaffirming its support for the families of the victims, the NUT pledged continued solidarity and prayers while advocating safer learning environments across the country.

 

 

The statement was jointly signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State NUT, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the Secretary, Comrade Salami Olukayode.
