Baring any unforeseen circumstance, there will be a rerun in the just concluded governorship election in Osun state.

The collated results puts the PDP flag bearer Ademola Adeleke slightly ahead of the APC candidate Gboyega Oyetola with just 353 vote margin.

The collation was not free from controversy as an INEC official reportedly tore up the result posted at the INEC office in Gbongan. He claimed to be working for the Electoral Officer and collation Officer.

Another incident was the subtraction of 1000 votes from the PDP during the collation from Ayedaade LGA which was quickly rectified after outrage on social media.

Several attempts by the APC to rig the election was met with resistance by the people who stood vigilant at their collation centers to protect the integrity of their votes. The Presidency released N17bn for the Osun State election which was to be spent on vote buying and bribing security operatives.

9 APC Governors landed in Oshogbo during the week led by Governor Ganduje and Governor El Rufai. Governor Bello, Governor Rochas, Governor Yari, Governor Ambode, Governor Akeredolu, Governor Ajimobi and Governor Amosun were all on ground to influence the polls with money.

You would recall that during the build up to the elections, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in Oshogbo sharing N10k to traders as part of the TraderMoni initiative which was openly seen as a campaign strategy and early vote buying to deliver the state to the APC.

With all the gimmicks employed by the ruling party, including a long delay of the Osogbo results, the PDP still took the lead.

A bulk of the credit of the victory may go to Nigerian music sensation Davido who raised the alarm when 1000 votes were deducted from one LGA until the votes were restored by INEC.

As the election heads for a rerun in the canceled areas, it would be interesting to see how Senate President Bukola Saraki who chairs the Osun PDP Election Council will lead his party to victory in Osun as this election serves as a litmus test to the 2019 general elections

That is how they will lose in Lagos if they don't field Ambode.
Tinubu is overrated!

APC is losing their edge, even their grip on the presidency is very shaky.

Some respeccc clearly deserves to be put on Saraki's name with the way he handled this election. APC tried to cut corners in every way they possibly could and still ended up with an L. If they like they should re-run 100x, PDP stays winning.

The voice of the people is the voice of God, Justice May be delayed but can never be denied, the movement is on Imole deee losun, kudos to Davido you have done well, come back home and let’s wrap up the game. Imole 2018.

Thursday will be the 'riggest' day in the history of heaven and earth.

Shame on APC, the evil terrorist party is being shown the way out of the Southwest starting from the foundational and spiritual home of the Yorubas which is Osun... The day APC started fratenizing with Islamic terrorist and sadist is the day they lost the plot to claim they had the interest of the Yorunas nation at heart...... The only thing that can save Tinubu structure now is if he dumps Buhari ...You can't be seen supporting Buhari and yet claim you mean well for anyone

ok

Rigging won't make APC take back Osun in the upcoming re-run Election, the addition of votes from SPD ,ADP & ADC shows our people no longer want APC...its time for Omisore of SDP & Fatai Akinbade of ADC to come back home ,

some people will drink sniper on Thursday

APC will loss any free and fair election, 2019

Nice one

APC is a cursed party.

Very interesting..

Kingspin:
APC will loss any fair and fair election, 2019

Absolutely.


How can a useless party who denied all his campaign promises win any election if done in a free and fair atmosphere? Ko po si bu.

Osun Governorship election has made it clear that there would not be a free and fair election in 2019 because this APC Administration is tooooo desperate to be in power by all means. May God deliver Nigeria.

Lo

Comedy

APC lose Osun

This shows that Nigerians are getting wiser, the era when a party humiliate masses with their useless policy has lap. Masses can now shame any party who think they can do nonsense and expect support by voting them out.

It’s clear the people of osun are tired of APC and their poverty humiliating policy.

What is happening in osun is a disgrace, INEC is an embarrassment

PDP better head to court to stop this nonsense APC staged rerun. its obvious the PDP won.

Naija which way na

INEC, can you explain?

APC's Haruna Isah was declared winner of the 2018 Lokoja/Kogi HOR by-election after polling 26,860 votes against PDP's Engr. Bashir Abubakar 14,845. The CANCELLED VOTES WERE 19,960. The margin (12,015) was LESS than the cancelled votes just like Adeleke.

Such a shame.

APC has become a cockroach that runs away like crazy from the slippers.
