The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last Saturday’s governorship election, Hon Agboola Ajayi, has rejected the results of the election.
Ajayi said he would head to the tribunal to seek justice.
The former Deputy Governor said he kept silent since results of the election were announced to enable him investigate what he termed ‘contents of criminality prosecuted by both APC and the INEC.’
Ajayi said the investigation uncovered lots of actions undertaken to compromise the electoral desires of the people.
Speaking in a statement by his Special Adviser, Ayo Fadaka, Ajayi said democracy could not thrive in an environment where unabated criminality was perpetrated in the prosecution of an election by INEC.
He said elections conducted by INEC since the APC assumed power in 2015 has continued in the tradition of hijacking the process and delivering results that were diametrically in contrast with expressed electoral desires.
According to him: “While not divulging the nature and extent of the results of our investigations for now, our only prayer is that those who possess the privileges to determine the fate of people and nation should begin to live up to expectations and fear God, in the interest of our nation, it’s wellness, peace and tranquility, else they be reduced to same level of criminals and bandits who continuously lay landmines that undermine the progress of our nation.
“We particularly call on the Judiciary to brace up and perform the sacred and onerous responsibilities to guarantee the portability of justice to people and institutions that seek it, the nation and people will appreciate that.
“In summary, we reject the results of the Nov 16th election and will take legal actions to reverse the debauchery, that is the option available to us and we are hopeful that man and God who is the ultimate will give us justice.
It is time we begin to eschew criminality from our electoral process.”
