The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says it has received fresh reports from its field agents ahead of
Thursday’s Osun State supplementary governorship election.
The ruling party alleged that
there was an ongoing buying and cloning of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) by
agents of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena,
made the allegation in a statement on Tuesday.
He said: “We view this
development as bizarre and a sign of the desperation of the PDP to takeover
Osun State by all illegal means.
“Also, we call on INEC and
security agencies to speak publicly on measures being taken to stop the ongoing
vote buying by PDP agents which has become widespread in the State.
“We call for calm in the face of
the already tense situation caused the PDP’s now public rigging plot. The Osun
electorate must remain alert and resist any plot to subvert the people’s will
and manipulate the rerun election.
“Commendably, the police already
have in its custody a PDP stalwart who led other PDP leaders to buy up voters
cards ahead of Thursday’s governorship rerun.
“There however remains much to be
done to ensure the credibility of the forthcoming rerun election”.
INEC had on Sunday announced
results of the governorship election, with the candidate of PDP, Ademola
Adeleke, leading with 254,698 votes while APC candidate, Gboyega Oyetola,
polled 254,345.
