"Era of deceptive governance over', SDP wants Ogun citizens to stand together to fight injustice, warns INEC to redeem it's image"

The Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ogun state, Engr. Tony Ojeshina has described the declaration of Dapo Abiodun as the winner of the just concluded gubernatorial election as a rape on democracy and electoral act.

In a press statement issued in Abeokuta, the state capital, Ojeshina noted the governorship election should have been declared inconclusive, owing to the facts on ground with the sections of the 2022 electoral act.

“It is clear to all that the governorship election should have been declared INCONCLUSIVE based on hard facts on ground and the 2022 Inec electoral act.

“The SDP and other coalition partners remain committed to the cause of ensuring that Hon.Ladi Adebutu gets justice and occupies his rightful position as the legitimate Governor of Ogun State.

“The era of deceptive governance is over, all Ogun State citizens must stand together to fight this injustice and INEC must use this opportunity to redeem her image.

“A deceptive government that ignores the yearning and needs of the people for over three years but comes out at election campaign time giving out “Greek gifts”.

“SDP remains committed to the course of creating a MODEL STATE and will join hands with PDP to actualize this.

“We are counting on the judiciary, the peoples’ last arbiter to salvage this travesty of Justice, he said

INEC had on Sunday declared Abiodun the winner of the election after polling 276,298 votes, while Ladi Adebutu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored 262,383 votes to come second, despite alleged cancellation on some polling units, which mathematically was above the lead margin between the two front runners.
