Why will they want to give Nigeria a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/20\/lagos-govt-gives-update-on-lg-election\/\">credible election<\/a> in 2023? They know very clearly that with the way things stand today, Nigerians have lost confidence in this government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo reasonable Nigerian will say I want this APC government to come back in 2023. And therefore, what we do to make sure there is no credible election is to make sure we do not allow this amendment of the electoral act that ought to give us a credible, free and fair election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that they will be able to manipulate the 2023 elections. It is very clear. I\u2019m surprised Mr President will not even champion it to say \u2018look I promised Nigeria that one thing I must leave in office even before anything\u2019; \u2018I must give Nigeria, free and credible elections\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see, national assembly, they say one thing here today, one thing here tomorrow. All these things are strategies of the ruling party to deny Nigerians in 2023 of having a free, fair and credible election.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has alleged that the delay in the passage of the electoral act ammendment bill is a ploy by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the 2023 elections.
