Osun rerun seems to be attracting a lot of reactions from both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the APC in a latest statement regarding the outcome of the election, have criticised the PDP for asking the electoral umpire to declare it’s candidate the winner, while also asking the electorates to be optimistic as victory shall be there’s come September 27th 2018.
The statement made available by the APC Acting National Publicity Secretary Mr. Yekini Nabena, praised the electorates, the security officials and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for a peaceful conduct of the election and the call for a Osun rerun.
He said the commendations being received by INEC shows how President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has totally changed what used to be the norm under the previous government and the PDP .
In reacting to the Osun rerun, Mr. Yekini Nabena said:
The APC hail the Osun electorate; INEC ;security agencies and relevant stakeholders over the conduct of Saturday’s inconclusive governorship election in the state which was largely peaceful despite some reported irregularities.
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 it’s commitment to ensuring that elections are more peaceful, transparent, credible and acceptable
This is a departure from the situation under past 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 lead up 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.”
The candidates of the APC Gboyega Oyetola and that of the PDP Senator Ademola Adeleke will be the two going into the Osun rerun come Thursday day 27th September
2018. as the two scored the most votes in the Osun Governorship election.
