The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has raised the alarm that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is plotting to rig during Saturday’s House of Assembly election.
This was disclosed by APC’s Director of Publicity in the state, Kunle Oyatomi, in a statement he released on Friday in Osogbo, alleging that the PDP was “violently mobilising to snatch victory in 16 of the 26 House of Assembly seats, in a desperate bid to put the PDP in the comfortable position to eventually impeach the governor.”
Currently, all the 26 lawmakers in the Osun State House of Assembly are all members of the APC.
The party has however vowed to resist the rigging plans of the PDP.
Oyatomi said: “Violence is not a component of democracy and any political party that indulges in it, as the PDP allegedly plans to do on Saturday, should be decisively contained and sanctioned by the law-enforcement agents.
“Osun is peaceful and the security agencies should do everything within their power to keep the state peaceful.”
Reacting to the allegation, the PDP denied ever planning to rig the election.
“We call on the people of Osun State to go to the polls en masse on Saturday and vote peacefully. They should be law-abiding and vote for whoever they want to vote for without fear,” its Publicity Secretary, Bola Ajao, said.
