The All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned perceived “daylight vote robbery” by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last Saturday’s rerun at the Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State, saying “it shows that the PDP, whether old or new, is irredeemable.”
Rising from its NEC meeting in Abuja, the APC claimed that everyone who witnessed or monitored the election confirmed that it was won convincingly by APC, according to a statement yesterday in
Abuja by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
The party said the impunity allegedly perpetrated by the PDP had started hunting it, after its candidate in the Shawo South West Ward, Mr. Afolabi Jimoh Olawole, repudiated his so-called victory, just like one of the presiding officers, Mr. Oyetunji Akeem, said the APC won the Councillorship and Chairmanship in Shawo central ward.
The statement said: ‘’This is a damning evidence that should make it clear to the PDP that its impunity cannot stand, that there are still Nigerians who have conscience and would sacrifice even their political and other careers for their integrity.
“In view of this, the APC calls on the PDP, which has been working in cahoots with the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission, to regurgitate the victory it wilfully swallowed, and from which it has now become so constipated and uncomfortable.’’
APC hailed both Mr. Olawole and Mr Akeem for their decency and honesty, which it said were very rare attributes in today’s Nigeria under the watch of the PDP.
