The APC has accused INEC of collaborating with the PDP to execute a sinister plan to manipulate the electoral process from source, in order to rig the votes on August 9.

The party, in a statement by its  Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said many APC supporters across the local government areas are systematically being disenfranchised as INEC is preventing them from obtaining their permanent voters cards (PVCs) which he said without which they will not be allowed to vote.

APC alleged also that INEC has “introduced a wicked formular of dispensing the PVCs by asking voters with temporary cards what party they belonged to, before the permanent voters cards are given.

In the process, virtually all those who have identified themselves as APC supporters have been told that their PVCs were not ready, and INEC could not tell these prospective voters when they would be available.”

According to the APC, the unfolding plan was part of the reasons the PDP demanded the removal of the substantive RECin the state, Ambassador Rufus Akeju.

Meanwhile the governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Mr. Olusegun Akinwusi has stated that his party is the best choice for the state electorate in the August 9 election for even development and quick economic recovery.

Akinwusi who met with members of Osun Youth Agenda (OYA) in Osogbo at the weekend stated that both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have outlived their usefulness in the polity and that a new political platform with a better programme can move the state forward.

“Without doubt, APC has failed in our state and PDP left the state house in a hurry in 2010. Governance is not where PDP left it in 2010, it has moved beyond that and only technocrats can fix the decay in our system. SDP has what it takes to lead Osun state to a better state” he stated.
