Phrank Shaibu, an aide Atiku Abubakar, the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25 presidential election has disclosed what played out between the European Union and the federal government during the 2023 presidential elections.

The PDP Chieftain said that the FG received 39 million Euros from the EU as support funds for the poll and urged the federal government to accept the mission's final report on the poll.

In a tweet shared on his Twitter page on Monday, July 3rd, Shaibu urged the government, headed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to accept the EU's report, which noted the 2023 presidential election was rigged.

The tweet by Shaibu reads thus: "FG got 39million Euros from EU as funding for 2023 election...EU report says the election was rigged and FG is calling EU meddlesome interloper after collecting 39m euros..u know u rigged. We won't beat u...we are in court. Just agree ...There is honour even among robbers."
