The All Progressives Congress (APC), Osun State
chapter, on Sunday, advised the standard-bearer
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the
August 9, 2014 governorship election, Senator
Iyiola Omisore, to withdraw his petition,
challenging the victory of Governor Rauf
Aregbesola before the election petition tribunal.
This development came against the backdrop of
the resolve of the tribunal to give its ruling today,
on the competence of Omisore’s petition, which
was being contested by the Aregbesola’s lead
counsel, Mr Akinlolu Olujimi.
APC contended that Omisore’s petition would
amount to an exercise in futility, saying “from
what the public had seen and heard so far,
Omisore and the PDP appeared to be relying
purely on falsehood, and not facts on the
ground, and their lies are falling apart like a pack
of cards.”
In a release signed by the APC’s director of
publicity, research and strategy in Osun, Mr
Kunle Oyatomi, the party also said the PDP had
withdrawn the celebrated suit, seeking to declare
null, the 2011 elections supervised by the
Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) in the state, Ambassador Rufus Akeju, at
the Federal High Court, Osogbo, through a
motion dated October 15, 2014.
Reacting, the PDP’s publicity secretary in the
state, Prince Bola Ajao, described the claims by
the APC as “another disastrous release from the
restless guilty conscience of a vicious party,”
stressing that “if APC had not rigged August 9
poll, it need not advise anyone challenging its
result to discontinue with the process.”
According to him, “APC as a party is being
hunted by guilt and growing suspicion over its
mindless rigging and subversion of peoples’ will
on the 9th of August, 2014 when the electorate
cast their valid votes to choose Senator Iyiola
Omisore.
Ajao continued, “constant appeal to the PDP and
its candidate to withdraw its case against the
emergence of Mr. Rauf Aregbesola should give
the panel adjudicating on the issue good lead to
properly scrutinize the unjustifiable defence of
APC when the hearing commences”
“They should not develop high blood pressure
now because the real shock await them when the
hearing start as we are fully prepared for them
and already blocked all the potential exits out of
the mess that earned APC temporary joy”, he
asserted.
When contacted, the PDP’s counsel, Mr Kehinde
Adesiyan confirmed the withdrawal of a suit,
seeking to declare the election conducted by REC
Akeju in 2011 as null and void, but explained that
“we want to avoid a situation whereby we would
abuse court process. This is because the suit is a
sister case to the one where we recently got a
judgment in Federal Court of Appeal in Akure”.
