The APC has won the rerun election in two out of the three units were it held in Orolu local govt area of Osun state.

In Ward 8 unit 1, the ruling party polled a total of 111, PDP got 03 votes. Others are ACD 01; void 03.

In Ward 8 unit 4

APC 128; PDP 55, PPA 1; SDP 1 ; PPC 4; ADP 1; ADP 1. VOID 4

But the PDP won in

WARD 9 UNIT 3, polling 64 votes to
APC’s 41

DPC got 01, and one vote voided.

The election in the three units, all located in the belly of Orolu forest, was generally peaceful.

As early as 7:30am, voters had trooped out to participate in the exercise.



The presence of heavily armed security personnel, drawn from the military; DSS; police, Civil defence, FRSC among others, helped ensure sanity.

Voters and party agents praised the presence of the security personnel. They denied being intimidated by security personnel or political thugs in the ongoing rerun election in Orolu LGA.

Raheem Alan, a PDP agent in Ward 9 Unit 3, told The Nation that although voters were initially delayed at the entry point to the voting arena, it was for security reasons. “Once the security personnel were convinced nobody came to the voting arena with any form of dangerous weapons they allowed us into the arena freely,” he said.

Olaniyi Tairu, APA agent said there is not a single threat by security personnel. “In fact, we need them more here; they are protecting us.”
In similar vein, Nimota Kolawole ACD agent in the unit, said tales of intimidation or prevention of people from voting are all lies. “Nobody has been denied voting right here; I have been here since 7:30am. Please don’t believe such stories.” she explained.

Kolawole said initially the community was apprehensive on sighting the heavy presence of security personnel. He however said realising their presence was for their security, they calmed down and trooped out to vote.

“What happened on Saturday cannot be allowed to happen today. We thank the security officers here,” she submitted.

As an igbo guy, i have never felt this level of pity for the Afonja race.. It is unfortunate that osun citizens allowed their votes to be bought and also rigged in broad day light.. Smh

Pusyiter:
If PDP wins, it is free and fair
If APC wins, it is a coup.
Should it be all about the party or the people?

Since 1999 PDP doesn't believe in free and Fair Election, That is very commendable from the Nigeria police force. Under the leadership of president BUHARI led APC administration free and Fair Election must be conducted.

Bello Ahmed, the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police in charge of the Osun governorship re-run election in Olode in Ife South Local Government, has said that security agents were monitoring the issue of vote-buying.

Ahmed, while speaking with newsmen at Adereti polling Unit 12, ward 7 in Olode on Thursday, said that anyone caught buying votes would be arrested.

He, however, said that the election had been peaceful, adding that voters were behaving maturely.

”We are law-abiding and we obey the rule of law but anyone who perpetrates crime will be arrested.

“But so far, so good; the election is going on smoothly,” Ahmed said.

Also speaking, Mr Stephen Ojewande, Deputy Director of Voter Education and Publicity, INEC, said nobody was allowed to come to the polling unit with smartphones.

Ojewande said people with smartphones were restricted 300 metres away from the polling units.

“We ensure that nobody comes to the polling unit with smartphones.

“We also ensure that people with smartphones are chased 300 metres away from the polling unit,” he said.

Ojewande also said that voting would end by 2 p.m., adding that the last person on the queue would be attended to.

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that there will be consequences if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) succumbs to pressures from planted PDP presidential aspirants to move the party’s National Convention away from Port Harcourt.

He further declared that the state will not support any desperate PDP presidential aspirant who is sabotaging the economy of the state by fighting the hosting of the party’s presidential primary in Port Harcourt.

Mr Wike warned that Rivers People will teach the party a bitter lesson if it allows planted desperate presidential aspirants to scuttle the hosting of the presidential primary in Port Harcourt as agreed by all leaders of the party.

Speaking during a consultative visit by the Gombe State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Ibrahim Dankwambo, at the Government House Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Mr Wike said at the PDP’s national meeting, no presidential aspirant opposed Port Harcourt as a venue.

He said any presidential aspirant fighting Rivers State should forget about the support of the state, during and after the National Convention.

He said: [b]“Let me warn the party, if you dare, Rivers State will teach the party a lesson. Those days have passed when they took Rivers State for granted. Nobody can use and dump Rivers State.

“No presidential aspirant can use and dump Rivers State. We never lobbied for it, we never asked for it, but it will boost the economy of the state. People will make money.

“Those who are against Rivers people from making money to improve their businesses, will not get our support.”

The governor said that whether the National Convention holds in Jigawa or Adamawa, the winner preferred by the delegates will emerge.

“I don’t know why anyone who wants to be president, will be afraid of a venue. Then you are not prepared for the election.



“Nobody should dare Rivers State any longer. Enough is enough. PDP should know that we are not a punching bag. We are not a people you can use and push. We are not harlots. Whenever you want, you come. When you finish, you push us aside.

“We will retaliate at the appropriate time. When you go, tell your colleagues, the presidential aspirants. We were not interested, but having given it to us, you cannot insult us,”[/b] Governor Wike said.

The governor pointed out that there are persons who are not presidential materials, but have bought forms simply because the presidency is zoned to the North.

He wondered why a presidential aspirant would declare that he is uncomfortable with Port Harcourt as a venue, but would love Rivers oil.

He said: “You come here to deceive us about restructuring. Just that Rivers State is a venue, you fight it. Then, when you are there, what will happen? You think we are fools where you preach restructuring, then when you get the position, you abandon restructuring.”

Governor Wike said that at the appropriate time, he will reveal the names of presidential aspirants working with the APC-led federal government to scuttle the presidential primary.

He added that no presidential aspirant will use a few members of the Board of Trustees of PDP to scuttle the decision of the party to host the presidential primary in Port Harcourt.

The governor described Governor Dankwambo as eminently qualified to contest the position of President. He said Mr Dankwambo will be considered when Rivers delegates meet to decide on who to support.

Earlier, Mr Dankwambo called on Rivers PDP delegates to support his aspiration as he has the capacity to set the country on the path of growth.

He said that the crisis of development being suffered by the country is a result of the leadership vacuum at the Federal Level .



While saying that he has the training, exposure and experience to lead the country in the right direction, Mr Dankwambo urged Nigerians not to make the error of 2015 when they chose promises ahead of performance.

The presidential aspirant said that he will support whoever emerges as presidential candidate, should it turn out that party delegates vote in a different direction.

eneojoedu:
at the taste of defeat, APC supporters have turned into ironic philosophers.....sense they are not making, they have no justification and point to base their argument on(rather than Apc is bad but pdp is not better) who asked una the masses have spoken, keep ur epistle to yourself..... wether you cry with full stomach or with hunger, all cry na cry. but one is still better.

@ midolian
You're right about non payment of salaries but the input of Davido and Saraki can't be understated.
APC camped 8 governors in Osun, sent the VP with TraderMoni, the odds were against Adeleke.

If you think Saraki and Davido's contribution were minimal, how come people voted PDP's Adeleke rather than Omisore?
