The Presidency has rejected the final report of the European Union (EU) election Observation Mission in Nigeria on the 2023 polls.
The EU Mission had on Tuesday presented its report on the General Election in Abuja where it says the Elections Exposed a Systemic Weaknesses that needed to be corrected.
But the President in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties Communications and startegy Dele Alake on Sunday described the report as a poorly done desk Job.
Alake said the 2023 General Elections, particularly the Presidential Election won by President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress were credible, peaceful, free, fair and the best organised General Elections in Nigeria since 1999.
It says there is no substantial evidence provided by the European Union or any foreign and local organisation that is viable enough to impeach the integrity of the 2023 general election outcomes.
The Presidency said it has many reasons to believe that the report which it says was based on the views of fewer than 50 observers was to merely sustain the same premature denunciatory stance contained in EU’s preliminary report released in March.
The Presidency urged the European Union and Other Foreign interests to be objective in all their assessments of the internal affairs of the country and allow Nigeria to breathe.
