Osinbajo Receives Situation Room Report, Says APC Will Do Better in 2023

Ahead of the 2023 general election, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that All Progressive Congress (APC) would consolidate on the successes recorded at the just concluded 2019 general election.

The Vice President who disclosed this in Abuja while receiving the situation room report presented by Presidential Support Committee (PSC), said the report would assist the party to review their efforts at the last general election and plan for the future.

Osinbajo who was represented by the APC National Legal Adviser, Babatunde Ogala said the report would further assist the party in research and give them insight on why the election result came out the way it is currently.

“They are documents that tried to catalogue events and monitor how the elections ran. They will aid us in research, they will aid us in a better understanding on why the election came out the way it did, they will aid us in planning for the future, they will aid us in compiling data, so the use is enormous, we will review what is contained therein and it will help us view our past and prepare for the future,” Osinbajo added.

The Chairman of PSC, Engr. Ozi-Raji Williams in his remarks said the report would also serve as evidence which would be tendered at the Supreme Court in defence of the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“History has it that most times, when a thing is credible, fair, in most cases, such results are not welcomed, so we decided to go into monitoring and evaluation and the situation room to ensure that at the time judgment is pronounced and the opposition party says this is not right, we have something to present, and say by what we presented, these are facts in the field across the states and as such, nobody contends with proofs especially when the evidence are beyond facts.

“There were a lot of electoral malpractices, ballot snatching, killing of innocent souls, burning of electoral materials and so many others. The package itself is hilarious, and it cuts across not just presidential election, but the senatorial election in the 36 states.

Another official of PSC, Zainab Mohammed, said they used their structures in the 774 local governments to carry out a thorough election monitoring down to the ward level during the just concluded 2019 general election.

“Monitoring and evaluation of the just concluded general election was exhausting, interesting and worth it. It was done with passion and zeal without looking at what we are out there to gain, or without money from anyone, but we did it because we believe in the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari because of his values and ideology to move the nation forward.

“What you are seeing today is the report from the 36 states of the federation plus the FCT of all the situation rooms during the just concluded general election, so we are handing over all the reports collected from the whole states during the situation room monitoring situation.

“We have structures in all the 774 local governments down to the ward level, and we have over 10 staff per ward to ensure that we are doing the right thing,” Mohammed said.
