The PDP stated that it has obtained permission from the State’s election petition tribunal to inspect all electoral materials used during the March 18 elections.
In a statement issued by Akinloye Bankole, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ogun, the party accused the ruling APC of plotting “to cover its tracks after its failed attempt to subvert the popular will of the electorates in collusion with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.”
According to the opposition party, APC members have been junketing from one end of the country to the other since March 18, “searching desperately for means of covering all the electoral frauds they perpetrated.”
Bankole told newsmen that the election tribunal’s permission to inspect electoral materials for the PDP “is already making the APC nervous.”
“Many of their electoral frauds in the March 18 election are about to be exposed,” he said emphatically.
Akinloye went on to say, “In a few days, details of all APC electoral frauds will be collated and made available to necessary authorities, including the public domain, for review.”
The party urged the people of Ogun to remain calm, saying that “no form of tyranny would stand in the way of a determined people.”
Meanwhile, the APC’s Publicity Secretary in Ogun, Tunde Oladunjoye, has asked INEC to provide adequate security for all election materials used in the governorship election in order to protect them from the PDP’s governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, and his party.
“Having lost the election and failed to gain office through purchase, the PDP and its candidate lacked the moral compass to level allegations of electoral impropriety against anyone or INEC,” said an APC spokesman.
