APC is sleepless cos it murdered sleep, and Lai goes round lying, LP adds
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
By rigging the election this year, the All Progressives Congress (APC) murdered sleep and is now sleepless, evidenced by how Lai Mohammed went round world capitals to voice out Muhammadu Buhari’s thoughts, says the Labour Party (LP).
Acting LP National Publicity Secretary Obiora Ifoh argued in Abuja the Information Minister is echoing the thoughts of the President on spinning the deliberate manipulation of the presidential election result.
Ifoh also accused Mohammed of “wasting scarce public funds junketing around the United States and the United Kingdom” in a futile attempt to whitewash the disastrous eight years of the Buhari administration.
“We just want the … Minister to know that by rigging the 2023 general election, himself, his party, All Progressives Congress, and the leader of the party, President Buhari, have murdered sleep and they do not deserve peace,” Ifoh insisted.
He said it is appalling for Mohammed to wallow in the error of his principal about the result of the election.
“A few days after President Muhammadu Buhari made that heavily flawed and erroneous remarks on the outcome of the 2023 presidential election claiming that opposition parties lost the presidential election due to their ‘overconfidence, complacency and bad tactical moves’, it is hearth-wrenching to hear the … Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, still progressing with that warped, illogical and incongruous concept.
“We would rather not join issues with a man who is famous for constantly prescribing doses of expired and ineffectual propaganda to Nigerians.”

“His ill-fated and hugely failed trip to the United Kingdom and United States where he attempted to redeem the grossly battered democratic credentials of this present administration; spending millions of tax payers money to defend an indefensible action, is yet another tragedy of Buhari’s eight years’ leadership,” Ifoh said, per Vanguard.
“It is only the blind that will continue to insist that the 2023 presidential election, which was massively rigged, was free, fair and credible.
“As we have said earlier, the opposition political parties allegedly lost the election because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) jettisoned the Electoral Act, having not uploaded the result from the polling unit in real time as promised, and in so doing, created room for riggers to have a field day.
“The election witnessed unprecedented magnitude of violence, ballot snuffing, snatching and manipulations of result from the collation centres using thugs, security agencies, which included police, army among others.
“All these issues and a lot more were captured, well documented and have been taken to the appeal tribunal and the matters are ongoing.
“Mr. Lai Mohammed need not preempt the tribunal as his actions are contemptuous and could be used against him.”
