Senator Iyiola Omisore, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has claimed that the Labour Party’s (LP) desire for rerun at the presidency is wishful thinking.
Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the LP, has warned party members to exercise caution after learning that the APC was making preparations for a potential rerun of the 2023 presidential election.
However, Omisore, who stated on Tuesday during his appearance on the Channels TV program Politics Today, said: “There is a method by which the Labour Party misleads their supporters. They employ a fictitious court of instance.
“The person that came third said they are going for rerun. How does he know that the court will give a rerun? So the Labour Party is now judging the tribunal? They are jokers.
“Most politicians are incurable optimists. Even from ground zero, they want to make 100 per cent. “So, these are just wishful thoughts from the Labour Party. As far as I am concerned, they are jokers, they are nothing to worry about.”
Asked if the APC is prepared for a rerun, the APC scribe said: “There can’t be any rerun for God’s sake because it was a clear win.
“The Labour Party defeating Bola Tinubu in Lagos is the beauty of democracy and it shows the sanctity of that election. It shows the neutrality of the party, and it shows the evidential reason APC won across the board.”
On allegations of internal wrangling within the APC, Omisore said: “We are not aware of any internal wrangling within the APC. It is the imagination of people.
“We have moved far from that; the issue of Senator Abdullahi Adamu supporting somebody is an old issue. They are just trying to play the old game. Basically everybody is working together as one.”
