ABEOKUTA - The Ogun State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the Allied People's Movement (APM) and its governorship candidate, Adekunle Akinlade has cowards and sore losers.
The Allied Peoples Movement, APM had earlier rejected the announcement of the Governorship and Houses of Assembly election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The APM Director General, Campaign Organization, Alhaji Sarafa Tunji-Ishola while addressing a press conference in Abeokuta, the state capital alleged that the election exercise which started on a peaceful note was disrupted as the counting of votes were being completed by hoodlums and unidentified uniform men who hijacked the process and went ahead to falsify result sheets.
But APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye noted that, the precision of APM and its candidate negates historical antecedents in politics of the state.
Oladunjoye therefore urged them to seek redress in court, as APC share also challenge electoral malpractices in some local governments of the state.
"Akinlade and his principal are sore losers. What they attempted negates historical antecedents in politics. They are vainglorious dreamers. Or how can you form a party in January 2019 and expect to win the governorship election in a state like Ogun by March 2019?"
"We urged them to go to court, because even if they don't, we shall, on our own, go to court for manifest malpractices which they perpetrated during the election.
"In Ewekoro, it was outright vote buying. In Obafemi Owode, One of their candidates was arrested for voters inducement, in Ado Odo Ota, a top serving officer of the state government was arrested with already thumb-printed ballot papers.”
