The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has rejected in its entirety the governorship election re-run held in Osun State on Thursday.
National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus who addressed the press in Abuja said, “what happened in Osun today is unacceptable to us. We call on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the INEC, to declare the PDP candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, winner of the governorship election.”
He accused the INEC of conniving with the All Progressives Congress (APC), and security operatives to intimidate and harass his party supporters insisting that they won the election at the September 22 polls.
