The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has asked the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, to do the needful by declaring its candidate in the Osun
State governorship election, Ademola Adeleke winner of the poll.
PDP made the call while
maintaining that the Saturday’s governorship election in the state was
concluded and Adeleke won.
In a statement by its statement
by its Spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party also demanded the
arrest and prosecution of the Osun State Governorship Election Returning
Officer, Prof. Joseph Fuwape.
The statement reads partly: “PDP
demands the immediate arrest and prosecution of the Osun State Governorship
Election Returning Officer, Prof. Joseph Fuwape, for succumbing to the pressure of
the APC and declaring a decided election as inconclusive.
“We demand that INEC Chairman,
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu immediately summon the courage to do the needful by
declaring our candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, as winner.
“It is completely ludicrous, that
INEC and the APC are now attempting to divert the narrative from the substance
of the election by making outlandish allegations against the PDP and lobbying
Civil Society Organizations and Electoral Observers to validate their
illegality.
“Moreover, even if the Osun
governorship election is conducted over and over again, the PDP will still win
as the people of the state have chosen the PDP and its candidate, Senator
Ademola Adeleke.
“Nevertheless, we insist that the
September 22, 2018 election, under our laws, is conclusive and our candidate
must be declared winner.”
