The All Progressives Congress,
APC, Campaign Council for the Osun governorship election has described
allegations and accusations of manipulation being made by the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, as a manifestation of the fear of impending defeat.
In a statement in Osogbo, the
Osun State capital, on Sunday, the Council’s Media Committee Chairman, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, pointed out that the PDP and its chorus singers have resorted to
such flimsy and unsubstantiated allegations because defeat was now staring the
party’s candidate in the face.
According to Mohammed, those who
are shouting themselves hoarse about an alleged rigging and thuggery plan by
the APC in Osun are only acting true to type, because, according to him, they
are the certified architects of rigging and thuggery, not minding that their
murderous thugs have now been sequestered and the rigging capability clearly
curtailed.
”The PDP and some of its top
members have accused INEC, the police and other security agencies as well as
the NYSC of all sorts of things,” Mohammed said in the statement.
“They have made allegations of
thuggery and rigging against the APC. None of the accusations has been
substantiated. If only the party had invested its energy in preparing for the
election, it may not have become so jittery.
”Unfortunately, the die is cast
and the PDP has seen the handwriting on the wall, hence the party’s slip into
the panic mode.
”On our part, we have confidence
in the various institutions saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a
successful election in Osun State. We have no need for thuggery or rigging
because the people are solidly behind us.”

Mr. Lai Mohammed, it is obvious defeat is staring APC in the face. Despite your rigging, Adeleke still dusted you. The people want him and not your APC that won't even pay salaries and pensions.
