Osun Election: APC Condemns PDP For Asking INEC To Declare Results In Its Favour

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for asking the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the results of the
Osun State governorship election in its favour.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary,
Yekini Nabena, on Sunday the APC described comments by the PDP as
baseless, after INEC declared the election inconclusive.

It, however, hailed the people of Osun State, INEC and security
agencies for the conduct of the elections which it described as
peaceful despite some reported irregularities.

 The party, therefore asked the electorates not to
lose focus and vote in its candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, in the
re-run scheduled for September 27.

The statement read in part, “While we continue to improve on our
electoral processes, particularly correcting some irregularities
witnessed in Saturday’s election, the APC commends the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration which has continually exhibited
its commitment to ensuring that elections are more peaceful,
transparent, credible and acceptable.

“This is a departure from the situation under past Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) administrations where the people’s will was
subverted and elections where manipulated. We hereby reject the
PDP’s baseless calls that the inconclusive Osun governorship
election is announced in its favour.

“In the leadup to the rerun election, we call on the Osun
electorate, party supporters and members to remain upbeat and
focused on the task of consolidating on the APC Change
administration in the state by voting for the victory of our
candidate, Gboyega Oyetola”.
