The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, on Thursday in Abuja, has stated that the party’s 16 years of leadership not only established institutions but strengthened them while revealing that it won the 2019 presidential election but justice was not served.
According to him, the PDP “believes fiercely in democracy and its transparent processes”
Speaking when he received a seven person delegation of the European Union Election Observer led by it’s Chief Election Observer, Maria Arena, Ayu disclosed that the democratic values of the country have greatly declined with the present administration.
A statement signed on Thursday by his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Simon Imobo-Tswam and shared by Punch, Ayu told the EU delegation that its report on the 2019 general elections reflected the drawbacks saying “we will keep complaining as long these undemocratic practices subsist.”
“We believe we won the 2019 presidential elections. We have the evidence. But justice was not done.
“Now that we are moving towards another election in 2023, it’s very important that we stress the need for the electoral umpire to be genuinely independent as its name implies,” he said.
