Governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Ogun state, Gboyega Isiaka, says the 2019 elections is a further drawback on Nigeria’s political revolution where the will of the people do not matter, but the will of money and power.
Speaking through his media aide, Bolaji Adeniji on the just concluded governorship election in the state, Gboyega Isiaka accused ad-hoc officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of involving in various levels of compromise which has affected the outcome of the electoral process in Ogun State.
“In fact, the electoral process had compromised against itself because votes are being bought openly as if people were in the open market, INEC officials are involved in the various levels of compromise, and so the election cannot be termed a fair process.
“Even the masses themselves no longer have confidence in the electoral process; they have lost faith in their leaders and therefore, want to take what they can get from whoever is contesting and wouldn’t bother whether the person who wins would govern well or not.”
In the same vein, the ongoing election results being announced by INEC in Ogun State has been rejected by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Speaking through Sarafa Ishola, the APM’s Campaign Director General, at the party’s secretariat at Leme, Abeokuta, the party said the election was largely peaceful in the state but was allegedly hijacked by hoodlums and “unidentified uniformed men” during the collation stage.
“The people of Ogun state have been raped,” Akinlade declared, saying hey will seek all legal means to “undo the injustice.”
