Some Nigerians have resorted to social media to respond to the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, who claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government is plotting a rerun of the 2023 presidential elections.
According to news reports, Abure, during a recent meeting with the Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy, led by Professor Eddie Oparaoji, urged the party’s over 10 million members to be on high alert and prepare to further humiliate the APC and its government in the polls if their sinister plot materializes.
Remember that the election results are being disputed in front of the election petition tribunal.

Abure said: “Rumours have it that those in government are already planning for rerun and this is one of the support we will be canvasing from you. We should also be getting prepared because since all those in government are already preparing for rerun we too should not be taken unawares.
“So we will be needing your engagement and support on this aspect if par adventure it happens today, that the election is nullified which is not what we are asking for, because we are asking for outright declaration of Peter Obi as the President of Nigeria.
“We believe strongly that we won that election given the statistics we have, given the result we have, we are not expecting anything less than the declaration of Peter Obi as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“But supposing that didn’t happen as the government is believed to be planning for a rerun it will not also be out of place for we to be preparing for a rerun election.”
