#Osun Decides ’22: PDP Warns APC, Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot To Rig Election Result

—Calling for the intervention of President Buhari, International Communities and other Stakeholders

The Osun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP), has warned the All Progressive Congress (APC) over alleged plot to rig the ongoing Gubernitorial election result.

According to a release made available to Journalists on Saturday evening by Dr Akindele Adekunle,
Chairman, CTC Peoples Democratic Party Osun State Chapter, noted that about seven APC governors have assembled at Osogbo to arrest the emerging victory of the PDP at today’s governorship elections.

Awakening President Muhammadu Buhari, the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmud Yakub and service chiefs to urgently caution Governor Gboyega Oyetola and other seven governors of the APC to abort their plan to steal Osun election as the consequences of such act is a direct threat to the peace and stability of Nigeria.

“The APC governors are presently gathering at the state capital with sole goal of subverting the will of Osun people. Their plan is to stop the process of results upload and collation and pressure the Electoral commission to tamper with the results.

“The APC and their hatchet man should know the PDP has collated all its results from accredited party agents and Senator Ademola Adeleke has clearly won the 2022 governorship election. It is therefore so late in the day to reverse the will of the people.

“We urge ambassadors and high commissioners as well of global democracy partners to prevail on the APC to accept defeat and not endanger this nascent democracy.

” We affirm that Nigeria is already under enormous economic and security pressure and the APC should not ignite a conflict that may deepen the national challenges”,he opined.

Saying PDP is a law abiding organisation and describing their candidate as a peace loving leader of his people, warned they would not fold their arms and watch the will of Osun people to be subverted for the second term.

“We warn that we will resist any anti-democratic plot with all our strengths, networks and constitutional tools”.

Praising President Muhammadu Buhari, PDP said the new electoral act is a major achievement of the Buhari Presidency and it will amount to a great disservice for the nation to allow a free and fair process to end in chaos due to the anti-democratic posture of some politicians who are scared of the will of the people.

While acknowledging the efforts of INEC in the election,she applauded the electoral commission under Prof Mahmud Yakub for a great job well done by conducting one of the best organized elections in the land.

PDP therefore urged the commission chairman to protect his honor by declaring the rightful winner of this election, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
