Osun Decides 2018: Femi Fani-Kayode Reveals Who’ll Help PDP, Adeleke Win Osun Rerun Election

Posted: 23 Sep 2018 07:28 PM PDT

Omisore, Adeleke and Fani-Kayode

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation, under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declaring the just-concluded governorship election in Osun State inconclusive.

INEC had announced that Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, polled about 254,698 ahead of Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who had 254,345 votes.

The decision of INEC followed THE cancellation of votes in Orolu Local Government, Ife South LG, Ife North LG and Osogbo LG.

Reacting swiftly to the development, the PDP chieftain while congratulating the party, promised to talk to the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore to join forces with PDP for a victorious Thursday's rerun.

Fani-Kayode tweeted, "I am so proud of the @OfficialPDPNig in Osun. Congrats to my friend and brother, Demola Adeleke. Now is the time for us to reach out and work with others. I will talk to my cousin, Iyiola Omisore.

"He is a fighter. We need him. We must join forces and send the APC demons packing."

Osun Decides 2018: Big Crisis Imminent In Nigeria Over Osun Election, PDP Chairman, Secondus Tell APC, INEC

Posted: 23 Sep 2018 10:06 AM PDT

Prince Uche Secondus, PDP National Chairman

Osun Election Update: The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has emphatically rejected the inconclusive verdict delivered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday's governorship election in Osun State.

The major opposition party has insisted that the process was conclusive and that its candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who won a total of 254, 698 votes was in clear lead and should be immediately declared winner by INEC, having met the requirements of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

According to the Nation Newspaper, the party at a media briefing in Abuja on Sunday, through it's spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that Section 179 (2) (a)(b) of the 1999 Constitution, (as amended), was clear and very unambiguous in spelling out the conditions for returning a candidate to the office of governor of a state.

Quoting from the said Section, the PDP said, "A candidate for an election to the office of Governor of a State shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being two or more candidates – (a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of all the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all the local government areas in the State".

The PDP therefore, insisted that the declaration by INEC of the election as inconclusive, was a "sordid robbery" of the franchise of the people of Osun State, who participated in the election.

Speaking further, the PDP spokesman said, "It is obvious that having failed in their schemes to alter the final results due to the resistance of the people, the APC had to bear pressure on INEC to declare the election inconclusive so as to pave way for the perfection of their manipulative schemes, which the people of Osun state have firmly resisted so far.

"Instead of yielding to the evil machination of the APC, INEC should have summoned the patriotic courage to immune itself and end this needless controversy by returning the PDP and declare our candidate as the winner.

"It is instructive to state that the PDP will no longer accept inconclusive elections as subterfuge by the APC attain its dubious electoral manipulative schemes in our nation.

"The people of Osun state and the entire nation are already aware that the PDP won this election. They have the authentic figures from the polling units and know the candidate the voters prefer.

"The people, by their votes, have overwhelmingly declared for our candidate and we are not ready to accept any attempt by anybody to use any means whatsoever to steal our mandate freely given by the people.

"The PDP is for peace, but we will not hesitate to use every force available in a democracy to face any attempt to subvert the will of the people or rig us out in this election"

The party charged the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to avoid the fury of the people by immediately reversing what it described as a "fraudulent" decision by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) and declaring its candidate the winner of the election.

"Anything short of this is definitely not acceptable to the PDP and the people of Osun and it is a direct recipe for crisis.

"Finally, the PDP cautions INEC and the APC to note that the game is up. The people of Osun state have decided in favour of the PDP and that has become a fact that can never be altered", the party added.
