Campaign Council of Governor Ademola Adeleke, on Saturday, alleged plans to declare the ongoing governorship election inconclusive.
Chairman, Media and Publicity Committee of The Imole Campaign Council, Rep. Bamidele Salam, in a statement, asked observers to on alert.
“Our Party wishes to inform Nigerians of a sinister plan by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to declare the ongoing Governorship election inconclusive in an apparent move to frustrate the imminent victory of Sen Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke of the Accord.”
“The move which is being coordinated by several Governors and leaders of the APC is one of the last minute desperate moves of the party to hijack our candidates victory and subvert the will of the gallant Osun electorate.
“We condemn this evil and undemocratic plan and remind the INEC National Chairman of the various public commitments he gave to assure Nigerians that the Osun Governorship election would be free, fair and credible.
“We also remind the INEC, the APC and Security agencies of the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure that this election is not compromised in any form as it will serve as a litmus test for the 2027 General Election.
“We also call on the Inspector-General of Police, Director-General of the DSS, the Commandant-General of the Civil Defence and other Security agencies to immediately provide adequate security at all collation centres to prevent a subversion of the Osun Electoral process by hoodlums hired by the APC.
“We note with sadness ,the hijack of ballot boxes already recorded in a few polling units by these thugs and demand that perpetrators be arrested to face the full wrath of the Law.
“Local and International observers are hereby invited to take note of this information and speak out on the side of the law and people of Osun State at this hour.”
