Itse Sagay, chairman of the presidential advisory committee
against corruption (PACAC), has described the February 25 presidential poll as
the “best election” Nigeria has ever organised.
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was
declared the winner of the presidential election by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, major opposition parties in the election have filed
petitions to challenge the outcome of the election, accusing INEC of
irregularities. They also cited issues of electoral violence and voter
suppression.
Speaking during a programme on Channels TV, on Sunday, Sagay
said the electoral exercise portrayed “accuracy and reflection of the feelings
of Nigerians”, compared to previous polls held in the country.
He added that the defeat of APC by the Labour Party (LP) in
Lagos during the election was enough confirmation that it was “credible”.
“So, we had good elections in 2011, 2015, and 2019. But in
terms of representing or interpreting what Nigerians feel, it [2023] is the
best election we have ever had,” Sagay said.
“If you look at the ways things have gone with the BVAS, the
very idea that the APC was defeated in Lagos, that should make you realise
immediately that these are very credible elections. If you go through the whole
country, it is the same sort of accuracy and reflection of the feelings of
Nigerians.”
