EKO HOT BLOG reports that some Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the mobilization call by the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure after he alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government is planning to work for a possible rerun of the 2023 presidential polls.

This online media platform understands that Abure during a recent meeting with Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy led by Professor Eddie Oparaoji called on over 10 million members of the party to be on the alert and get ready to further humiliate APC and its government in the polls if their sinister plot materializes.

Recall, the election results are being challenged at the election petition tribunal.

Abure said: “Rumours have it that those in government are already planning for rerun and this is one of the support we will be canvasing from you. We should also be getting prepared because since all those in government are already preparing for rerun we too should not be taken unawares.

“So we will be needing your engagement and support on this aspect if par adventure it happens today, that the election is nullified which is not what we are asking for, because we are asking for outright declaration of Peter Obi as the President of Nigeria.

“We believe strongly that we won that election given the statistics we have, given the result we have, we are not expecting anything less than the declaration of Peter Obi as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“But supposing that didn’t happen as the government is believed to be planning for a rerun it will not also be out of place for we to be preparing for a rerun election.”

Abure’s call for mobilization has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some people expressing promptness for a rerun, and others, discarding the call, whilst noting that a rerun would be a waste of funds and resources.
