said despite the protest by Nigerians against the nomination of Onochie,the National Assembly appears determined to confirm her nomination.
He said failure to withdraw Onochie’s nomination despite protest by Nigerians, proved there is plot by the APC to rig the 2023 elections.
In his words “Despite the flood of protests against her nominations and the general lack of trust in her capacity to remain impartial, it seems the APC-led senate is determined to confirm her appointment as part of their grand plot to rig the 2023 general elections well ahead of time, knowing that Nigerians will overwhelmingly reject them in a free fair and transparent contest”.
