The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) at the last general election, Mr Peter Obi, again reflected on the last presidential election in which he lost to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu explaining why the servers refused to work on the day of the presidential election.
Obi while explaining to some people in Canada at the Weekend the issues about the 2023 general election including the IREV server said the “establishment of criminality” made the INEC servers not work during the last general elections.
He, however, urged people to intensify engagement with all stakeholders to make the system work.
The former Anambra State governor explained that Amazon testified there were no glitches recorded globally on the day of the presidential election.
His words: “Where did we go wrong in the last election? We didn’t go wrong anywhere. We did the right things.
“But as I can always tell people: when you bring a change, you fight all those who live off the old order. They don’t go away; they gang up. And don’t think it’s a straight race to remove an establishment.
“It’s a long-distance journey anywhere in the world. Go and check anywhere, whether you are looking at what happened in India, with Mandela in South Africa, or in America. No change has happened overnight, it takes time.
“I urge all of you, if you want change, we have just begun. We just have to conte from where we are.
“Yes, there continue one or two things we will correct, those things we will correct. I assure you we are correcting them without naming them. It’s not going to be easy.
“The INEC server was the same as the establishment. The server would not work because it was the establishment that made it so it wouldn’t work. It’s ours to continue to say that it would work. But there was no glitch.
“Amazon came and said there was no glitch. Amazon glitch is noticed globally – it’s recorded globally. And at that period, we brought down an Amazon person who said this is the number of glitches we have had since inception.
“There was none that it reported that day. We know it didn’t occur. It was the glitch of the establishment criminality that was in the system. And we must one day make it work.”
