The party added that Nigerians are aware Atiku and not the APC candidate, Bola Tinubu, won the election, according to the authentic results obtained from the polling units, Nigerian Tribune reported.
It added that the Buhari-led APC administration "is notorious for lying, deceit and falsehood.”
“It is indeed appalling that Lai Mohammed could attempt to defend the outcome of a fraudulently conducted election which has been adjudged as the worst in the history of elections in Nigeria and which has attracted nationwide and international outrage against the Buhari administration."
Labour Party tackles Lai Mohammed
The Labour Party released a statement criticising the minister of information and culture, for his recent comments referring to the opposition as "sore losers".
The party said the All Progressives Congress-led administration “murdered sleep” by allegedly rigging the 2023 general elections.
According to LP, only the blind would accept the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
The opposition also added that the minister was known for "constantly prescribing doses of expired and ineffectual propaganda to Nigerians".
