TINUBU’S INAUGURATION: Undaunted LP vows justice shall prevail in fullness of time

The Labour Party (LP) has urged its supporters and all Nigerians to continue to express their passions, emotions and frustrations, within the confines of the law, saying that justice shall prevail in the fullness of time.

It said this ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, stating that when justice prevails, “Nigeria will regain the chance for a new direction, love and trust among our people and true national growth.”

Speaking through a statement signed by its National Chairman, Mr. Julius Abure, on Sunday, the Labour Party faulted the election that produced Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the President-elect, claiming that it was marred by irregularities.

He said that despite varying serious reports of violence, malfunctioning electoral devices and other hindrances, the voters accreditation and voting process was fairly satisfactorily conducted.

He, however, lamented that “after counting of votes, a dark cloud engulfed the Nation. It became clear that the correct password, to transmit the Presidential Election results, electronically and instantly, from the BVAS to the INEC IREV, had been criminally withheld, contrary to specifications of the law and contrary to repeated emphasis, directives and promises to the Nation and its citizens, by Professor Mahmood Yakubu and INEC officials.”

Abure alleged that votes “lawfully cast for the Labour Party candidate, were changed and reduced, and added to increase votes casted for the Presidential Candidate of the APC.”

He said Nigerians deserve a government, which can manage the country for the good of all, with sincerity, creativity and discipline.

Abure said the matter which is now before the presidential petitions tribunal will be pursued to logical conclusion.

“Our people deserve a government, which can manage the country, for the good of all, with sincerity, creativity and discipline. A government that can reduce the biting tension and difficulties which families face in meeting their living needs and a government that can reduce the reckless corruption, rebuild national institutions and reposition the country, in all ramifications.
