The APC Campaign Council for the Osun Governorship Election has urged
the party's members in the areas where the state's election rerun will
be held on Thursday to ignore the rantings of the PDP and turn out en
masse to vote for the ruling party.

In a statement in Abuja by the Chairman of the Council's Media
Committee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Council said the threat by the PDP
that it would challenge, in court, INEC's declaration of last
Saturday's election as inconclusive is nothing but sheer bravado,
especially as the opposition party is afraid of losing the rerun.

It said the PDP may also have contrived the court threat as a way of
distracting the APC and its members ahead of the rerun, calling that
distraction strategy dead on arrival.

''The PDP knows that the so-called court challenge which it has
threatened to mount will not fly, especially because the highest court
in the land has already pronounced on the issue of whether or not INEC
has the powers to declare an election inconclusive

''The PDP is not unaware of the pronouncement of the Supreme Court in
the case of James Abiodun Faleke Vs INEC and others, that INEC has
the duty of conducting elections and that, besides the constitutional
provisions, it is guided by the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and
the Election Guidelines and Manual issued for its officials in
accordance with the Act,'' the Council said.

It said that since the PDP had boasted that its candidate will win if
the Osun Governorship Election is conducted over and over again, the
party should stop being jittery and put its money where its mouth is
by willingly participating in the rerun.

The Council said, however, that if the PDP chooses to boycott
Thursday's rerun out of fear, the party's right to do so will be
respected.

''The PDP, after its failed mission to win Saturday's election at all
cost, is shopping for an illegal shortcut to victory by threatening a
court action over an issue that has been settled. It's a sheer waste
of time. Let the PDP drop its pretension and get ready to be defeated
in Thursday's rerun. Alternatively, it can withdraw to save face,''
the Council said.

This lying bastard at it again

I earnestly wonder why the PDP are acting all jittery. This is not the first time an election re-run is taking place. They should stop raising unnecessary alarm and giving our nation a bad name

The miserable pdp want to win with just 353 votes!

Trust/believe the words of Lie/Lia Muhammad at your own peril

Sirjamo:
The miserable pdp want to win with just 353 votes!

Why didnt APC win the election with a landslide different or even one vote... You Zombies have your eyes and brains deeply attached to a lifeless party chaired by lifeless people

Your fulishness won't let you know that apc was leading your useless pdp in three out of the four local governments were elections were cancelled, that's why they are afraid of a re run, if those votes weren't cancelled, it would have been over for your miserable regional party

Vote buying and other illegal vices were the reasons why the said local governments were cancelled... If APC was truly winning the election and had those local governments cancelled, there should have been alot of shouting and ranting on social media... They were rigging it all.... 9APC governors and several other APC chieftains present in Osun during the election and they couldn't win in landslide victory, then it's so clear APC has lost it all
