The All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed the Osun electorate, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies as well as relevant stakeholders for the peaceful conduct of Saturday’s inconclusive governorship election in the state.
A statement by the acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena issued Sunday said APC was happy that in spite of some reported irregularities, there was no violence.
“While we continue to improve on our electoral processes, particularly correcting some irregularities witnessed in Saturday’s election, the APC commends the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration which has continually exhibited its commitment to ensuring that elections are more peaceful, transparent, credible and acceptable.
“This is a departure from the situation under past Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administrations where the people’s will was subverted and elections where manipulated. We hereby reject the PDP’s baseless calls that the inconclusive Osun governorship election is announced in its favour,” the statement read.
The party called on the people of the state as well as members to remain resolute in ensuring that APC wins in the rerun election scheduled to hold Thursday.
“In the lead to the rerun election, we call on the Osun electorate, party supporters and members to remain upbeat and focused on the task of consolidating on the APC Change administration in the state by voting for the victory of our candidate, Gboyega Oyetola,” Nabena stated.
