The Nigerian presidency has criticized the European Union over the 2023 election

According to the presidential palace, the European Union's observers for Nigeria's elections in 2023 did not conduct adequate investigation prior to publishing their findings.

A report from the European Union, or EU, that said there were mistakes in the country's 2023 election, was dismissed by the Nigerian presidential palace.

In February, there was a presidential election, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC was declared the victor by the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria, INEC.

Barry Andrews, the leader of the European Union, released a report, but he said that errors were committed during the election, thus it lacks the required credibility.

However, Mr. Dele Alake, the president's spokesperson, disputed the Turkish Federation report on Sunday, claiming that it was obviously biased.

According to Mr. Alake, they ought to have let Nigerians know in May that a group planned to publish a study claiming that the nation's election was rigged.

"Now that this organization has released what it claims is its final report, we can inform Nigerians and the world that we are aware of the European Union's selfishness and baseless claims on the results of the election," the president's spokesman said.

He continued, adding it is sad that the European Union, which sent out fewer than 50 observers to a nation with more than 176,000 voting machines, declared the election in the nation to be flawed.

According to the statement, "We want to know and ask the EU how it put together its final report after only a few people who are focused on the elections are, without a doubt, relying on hearsay and hearsay and those who have comments on social media that have no knowledge and opposition spokespeople."
