- Olusegun Agbaje, the INEC REC in Osun, has vowed to resign his appointment if Supreme Court finds the commission guilty of not discharging its responsibility faithfully in the election.

- He said he and other INEC officials were very neutral during the conduct of the governorship election which held on September 22

- INEC had earlier on Wednesday, October 3, issued certificate of return to the governor-elect Gboyega Oyetola and his deputy Gboyega Alabi

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Osun state, Olusegun Agbaje, has vowed to resign his appointment if the Supreme Court finds the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guilty in the conduct of the recently concluded governorship election in the state.

The Punch reports that Agbaje said this in his speech in Osogbo on Wednesday, October 3, during the presentation of certificate of return to the Osun state governor-elect, Gboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

NAIJ.com gathered that Oyetola and the deputy governor-elect, Benedict Alabi, were given the certificate of return by the national electoral commissioner representing Oyo, Osun and Ekiti states, Solomon Soyebi, at the INEC office in Osogbo.

The REC said those who were dissatisfied with the outcome of the election had the right to seek redress at election petition tribunal where their case would be examined by the panel.

Agbaje said he and other INEC officials were very neutral and that they did not do anything to give any of the contestants undue advantage over others.

He said: “Nevertheless, I want to reassure the good people of Osun state, particularly our royal fathers and religious leaders, that I was extremely neutral throughout the period of the election. I can positively stress that my staff also did.

“However, if, at the end of litigation at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Commission is found culpable of not discharging its responsibility faithfully and diligently, I will take full responsibility for any such laxity, publicly apologise to all Nigerians and thereafter resign my appointment with the commission."

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported that Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, Osun state governor-elect, received the certificate of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Oyetola was given the certificate of return at the INEC office in Osogbo, the Osun state capital on Wednesday, October 3, by Oluwatoyin Babalola, director of legal services, who represented Prof Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the commission.

All na wash, na naija we dey, you for first resign make we know say you serious

Buhari have made virtually all the government institutions that ought to be independent an arm of the satanic party APC.

The Police,DSS,Armed forces, Inec,Efcc,customs,civil defense etc are under the firm grip and control of APC which it uses against the opposition and citizens generally.

Nigeria cannot afford this unprecedented destruction of our public institutions further by this wicked party.

Why won't you threaten to resign when you have been paid more than enough to last you for the rest of your soon to be miserable life.

God will still punish u even after u resign.
