The PCC said that the LP candidate wasn't condemning the secessionists' actions because he was being smart and trying to draw attention away from what was going on.
The attack on INEC offices was bad, and the Presidential Campaign Council of the LP said so. Dr. Yunusa Tanko, who is the chief spokesperson for the LP PCC, said that the attacks were part of a larger plan to stop the general elections in 2023. He also said that it was worrying that the attacks were more common in the South East.
Tanko said, "There's no doubt that it's scary, but we won't let it stop us." "We think this is an attempt to make the South East look bad by making it seem like people there don't want elections to happen." It's not true. We will keep helping INEC and the security services so that these elections happen everywhere in Nigeria.
When Vanguard asked Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Employment and Chief Spokesperson of the APC PCC, what he thought about the situation, he insisted that the LP presidential candidate should condemn the activities of the banned group in the South East. Keyamo said, "These attacks have been going on before this time, and Peter Obi knows this." It's become the norm. Peter Obi isn't calling out IPOB and condemning them for these actions. Instead, he is diverting attention and trying to be clever. "One person living outside of Nigeria says he is now in charge of IPOB and is telling people to stay at home." "Where is Peter Obi's condemnation of this stupid act that is causing these deaths under the guise of enforcing the sit-at-home?"
