Activist lawyer , Mr Ebun -Olu Adegboruwa , has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission was sympathetic to the ruling All Progressives Congress rather than being neutral in the Osun State governorship election . According to him, the handling of the Osun State governorship poll by the electoral umpire underscored the claim that many loyalists and relatives of President Muhammadu Buhari are occupying very high positions in INEC . Adegboruwa said this on Friday in a statement he titled , “Osun governorship election : Back to the trenches .” INEC in the early hours of Friday declared the APC candidate , Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola , winner of the poll with 255 ,505 votes , ahead of the candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke , who recorded 255 ,023 votes . READ ALSO : INEC declares APC Oyetola winner of Osun gov election Adeleke had in the main election held on September 22 come top with 254 ,698 votes while Oyetola trailed him with 254 ,345 votes, but INEC declared the election inconclusive and called for a supplementary poll on September 27 . In the supplementary poll , Oyetola garnered additional 1 ,160 votes to eventually overtake Adeleke , who polled only 325 votes in the rerun election . Adegboruwa , who said he monitored the rerun election from situation rooms of civil society organisations and on traditional and social media and also relied on reports from local and international observers, said the exercise had opened up the weaknesses of Nigeria ’ s electoral system , which needed to be fixed by the National Assembly. He said , “First , the election has shown that INEC is not independent . “The influence of the ruling party on INEC cannot be overemphasised , especially as it has constantly been trumpeted that there are many loyalists and relatives of the President , occupying very high positions in INEC . “It is thus almost certain that in keenly contested elections , such as the Osun governorship, INEC will be reluctant to declare a candidate of the opposition party, as the winner . Thus , the general view in respect to the Osun governorship election is that it became inconclusive because the opposition candidate was leading.” https://punchng.com/osun-election-inec-not-independent-says-adegboruwa/ 6 Likes

Sometimes complaining don't solve a problem. Inec has not been independent since I was born, there has been and there will always be efforts to induce the electoral body. To me I feel if you know INEC is not transparent, sue them but you will never win. If inec would have to be independent, then all imec staff involved in one party or the other should be fired. In 2015 I can assure you that 20% of inec staff were APC members, employed by the minister of finance. About 15% were apologetic to APC. I know few some close friends who are card carrying members of APC as inec staff, and they will tell you they have their team. I can figure out the stats for PDP, but I know it would be more than that of APC, attesting to the fact that majority of the indigenes are apologetic to PDP 3 Likes |

Who doesn't know that Adegoruwa is a PDP member? Johnnyessence:Tell us about any election that PDP has not cried foul since 2015 apart from the ones they won? You guys case/crying has become so useless and unimpactful since you cry over everything - real or imagined. It has gotten to the extent that sane/patriotic Nigerians do not take you serious anymore - even when your wailing is for genuine reason. 8 Likes 5 Shares |

Let's talk sense into some heads! PMB and INEC conducted Bayelsa elections, PDP won. They conducted Anambra elections, APGA won. They conducted Oyo House of Assembly Ibarapa State Constituency, PDP won. Some elections were conducted in Taraba, PDP won. They even conducted a senatorial bye election where Dancing Senator Ademola Adeleke of PDP won. They conducted bye-election in Oyo State as well, PDP won. In all of these, Buhari and INEC didn't rig and APC was a progressive party. Now, they conducted Osun Elections, APC won you started calling names. Democracy is at risk and all the blablabla ranting and tantrums. You need to fear God o Congrats to Oyetola Gboyega 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Johnnyessence:Because is pdp... INEC has compromised, but u and so many dumb heads have forgotten easily what happened in kogi state. Now, u and pdp supporters are now clamouring for heads to roll, when it is obviously clear that the election was inclusive on Saturday. Why is PDP crying now? In 2015 kogi governorship election, APC was leading PDP with 41343 votes when INEC declared the election inconclusive for the same reasons they declared Osun state election inconclusive. Why did they not ask INEC to declare APC winner with out going for run up. 6 Likes 1 Share |

This man made no sense, He ended up saying nothing meaningful and prooving nothing. Was the election inconclusive and accepted by both parties. Is the rerun a process recognised by Inec. Did both parties or only one party try to influence voters. If the PDP has any meaningful and incriminating evidence in relation to this election, let them do the needful and stop disturbing Cyberspace. Confused and useless do or die party of hypocrites |

There has never being any time INEC was independent, INEC and its Chairman has always been a puppet to the government while the government has always been INEC's puppet master. I thought Nigerian's were getting wiser but NO! they are not getting any wise infact they are becoming too docile, the OSUN election malpractices shouldn't come has a surprise to any Nigerian who is inclined and informed about the state of affairs in Nigerian politics. With several evidences in the past pointing to the rigging of elections in Nigeria, election rigging should've been abolished in Nigeria but that isn't the case as rigging of elections is growing stronger. The OSUN election is a sign of things to come in the general elections and if Nigerian's are not careful, the 2019 election will be a bloodshed. Its about time we "REVOLT" against the members of the political class and elites who has sold the country into capitivity. We can't continue like this and expect to be great. No Way! 1 Like |

It was free and fair on Sept 22 when all the parties involved were buying votes and perpetrating electoral malpractices. But it became unfair and not-free when APC took advantage of bargain with Omisore. I wonder why nobody is talking about Omisore. He 'collabo' with APC to teach PDP the lesson of their lives. Had Omisore accepted the Saraki's Collabo, I think PDP would have praised INEC to high heaven. 2 Likes |
