The opposition party to APC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declined the Ondo State’s Saturday gubernatorial election, claiming to challenge the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of APC, was announced the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), on Sunday when Aiyedatiwa polled with total vote of 366781 to defeat his rival Ajayi Agboola of PDP who polled with 117845 votes.
PDP had on Tuesday issued a statement via the special adviser to its governorship candidate, Ayo Fadaka when Ajayi Agboola, stated that the party has “uncovered lots of actions undertaken to compromise the electoral desires of the people”.
In accordance with the party, the election results showed that democracy cannot “thrive in an environment where unabated criminality is perpetrated in the prosecution of an election by the agency, INEC, saddled with the responsibility to protect our franchise and deliver its mandate at the end of every election.”
Adding that legal action should be taken against the APC’s victory results of which is the only option available to make the alleged stolen mandate reversible.
“We are hopeful that man and God who is the ultimate will give us justice.”
