US-based Nigerian professor, Farooq Kperogi has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar will not defeat the All Progressvies Congress.
In a Twitter post, Kperogi said the reason is because votes will not count.
He wrote:
“With the help of Aminu Tambuwal, Atiku Abubakar has defeated Nysom Wike to win the PDP presidential primaries. I’ve seen people exultingly proclaiming that Atiku will give APC a bloody nose in 2023. That’s misplaced optimism
“Your votes won’t count—like they didn’t in 2019—because INEC is anything but independent. It’s a dutiful, groveling poodle of APC and Buhari and has no capacity or willingness to provide a level playing field for all contestants.
“I think there’s no point wasting billions to hold a presidential election whose outcome is already predetermined. INEC’s last-minute extension of the electoral timetable in response to Buhari’s instruction is all the evidence you need to know that that the 2023 election has already been decided. I hope I’m wrong.”
