According to Ibe, who spoke in a YouTube interview, the ruling party, knowing that it has nothing to show after more than two years, has opted for rigging as the only available option.
Paul Ibe, spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has already initiated plans to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
According to Ibe, who spoke in a YouTube interview, the ruling party, knowing that it has nothing to show after more than two years, has opted for rigging as the only available option.
He alleged that President Bola Tinubu-led APC is working hard to “ensure that there is no opposition, whether it’s in the independent media, civil society or political parties, that is what they are doing”.
He further claimed that the battle against opposition figures is “because they (APC) have nothing to offer after two years retaining mandate”.
“The only way for them to win an election is to begin the process of rigging it and that process has already started”.
Ibe also lamented that the democracy, which he claimed “was purchased at a very high price”, has been replaced with dictatorship under the current administration.
“The democracy that we have been practicing since 1999, was purchased at a very high price. A lot of activists were killed in that process.
“I believe that those who sacrificed their lives for what we are enjoying today, they will be sad in their graveyards seeing what is playing out now.
“What is playing out is dictatorship and that is why people like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated”, he added.
