The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has said that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Governorship Candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore’s optimism that he would win the seat through the appeal court as delusional. Reacting to a video clip which the PDP circulated last week in Abuja as ‘evidence that the APC rigged the

governorship election in Osun State, the APC in a statement by its Director of Publicity, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said the video will not make any difference to Omisore’s case at the court of appeal.

According to the APC spokesman, the case Omisore argued for 180 days at the Tribunal was meticulously dismantled in a landmark judgment that lasted over seven hours by the three-man panel which struck it out as unworthy in every material particular.

The APC wondered what would have gone wrong with the PDP chieftain, who had this so-called video clip evidence that he could have presented at the tribunal, but failed to do so.

The statement read in part: “Did this fellow (Omisore) seriously think that the Court of Appeal will accommodate this after-thought? The reason that video was not presented to the Tribunal in the first instance was because it was fake.” The APC claimed it had gotten wind of the production of the particular video since November last year and had informed security forces accordingly, adding this move was in part, what prevented the PDP from presenting it at the Tribunal as was their original plan.
