Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Aviation Minister has claimed that the 2023 Senatorial election in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was rigged.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Fani-Kayode<\/a> said in a lengthy post on his verified Twitter handle that the election of the Labour Party (LP) Senatorial candidate, Ireti Kingibe, is a farce, and that the alleged rigging will be exposed at the election tribunal.<\/p>\n He also accused Kingibe of constantly seeking to denigrate, ridicule, and undermine the indigenous Gbagyi population in the FCT, adding that her Senate representation is part of a larger plan to undermine national unity.<\/p>\n He wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n The most blatant rigging that took place in the last elections was the Senatorial election in the FCT. I have lived in Abuja for 22 years & to say that Ireti Kingibe, the Labour Party candidate, won the election is a joke. All will be exposed at the election tribunal and justice shall prevail.<\/em><\/p>\n To \u201celect\u201d an Obidient who constantly seeks to demean, ridicule and undermine the indigenous Gbagyi population to represent the good people of the FCT in the Senate is not only part of a wider agenda to undemine and destroy the unity of our country but also constitutes a security risk and a surreptitious attempt to change the demographics of our nations capital. This must be resisted at all costs and by all lawful means.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The most blatant rigging that took place in the last elections was the Senatorial election in the FCT.
