The candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in the just concluded Osun state governorship election,
Senator Ademola Adeleke has alleged that the ruling party, the All Progressives
Congress, APC planned to kill him at the state capital, Osogbo, during the
election.
The lawmaker has vowed to contest
the result of the election and reclaim his “stolen” mandate.
Adeleke spoke in an interview
with Channels Television yesterday.
The politician said “I’d like to
tell them that their mandate was stolen. The election was rigged because all
our people were not allowed to vote.
“They sent in some fake policemen
and thugs who were holding guns. They were shooting everywhere. People were
scared for their lives. They came out in Orolu, our stronghold.
“They knew they wanted to vote
for PDP but they started beating them.
“They told them that they could
not vote. This is the worst election I’ve ever seen. It has become a shame to
Nigerian democracy.
“They are so scared right now.
They couldn’t even celebrate because they stole our mandate. We have packed our
evidence and we will meet them in court.
“INEC has been compromised. Even
with the 419 result they brought out, we had extra 2000 votes and they promised
to add it.
“They were caught unawares. They
had the instruction that they should not announce me and the whole world was
watching.
“They were making a mockery of
our democracy. We won’t let it go like that.
“They planned to kill me. Why
can’t they go for other people? They know that I am the only one that can
defeat them.
“They barred journalists; they
didn’t allow observers to work. I am not giving up… I salute the good people of
Osun state.
“I salute their courage. They
have done so well. What I can tell them is to be calm. They will get their
mandates through legal means. That is what we are going to do.”
