Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last Saturday’s governorship election, Agboola Ajayi, has rejected results of the election and will head for the tribunal to seek justice.
The former deputy governor said he kept silent since results of the election were announced, to enable him investigate what he termed ‘contents of criminality prosecuted by APC and INEC.’
He said the investigation uncovered lots of actions undertaken to compromise the electoral desires of the people.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Ayo Fadaka, Ajayi said democracy could not thrive in an environment where unabated criminality was perpetrated in the prosecution of an election by INEC.
He said elections conducted by INEC since the APC assumed power in 2015 had continued in the tradition of hijacking the process and delivering results that were diametrically in contrast with expressed electoral desires.
The statement said: “While not divulging the nature and extent of the results of our investigations for now, our only prayer is that those who possess the privileges to determine the fate of people and nation should begin to live up to expectations and fear God, in the interest of our country, it’s wellness, peace and tranquillity, else they be reduced to same level of criminals and bandits who continuously lay landmines that undermine the progress of our nation.
