The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of lacking the spirit of democratic sportsmanship.
National Chairman of the PDP, Amb. Umar Damagum, made the allegation on Thursday during a meeting with the European Union (EU) Election Observation Follow-up Mission in Abuja.
Damagum cited the conduct of recent elections as evidence, saying they were marred by widespread irregularities.
“Unfortunately, this spirit of democratic sportsmanship has not been matched by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),” he said.
“As you have observed, the conduct of recent elections continues to be marred by widespread irregularities, ranging from the abuse of state resources and security institutions to blatant voter suppression, intimidation, vote-buying, and the deliberate subversion of electoral processes,” he added.
The PDP chairman urged the international community to continue supporting democratic reforms and credible electoral processes in Nigeria.
