The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Osun state chapter has described the decision taken by the APC and the outgoing Governor of Osun State, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola to approach the Election Tribunal aftermath of defeat at the polls as a wasteful voyage and an exercise in futility.
Dr Akindele Adekunle, the Caretaker Committee of the party revealed this in a press release issued and signed on Thursday.
He condemned the step embarked upon by Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the APC as anti-people and a challenge of God’s will, stating that the mandate given to the Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Ademola by the overwhelming majority of Osun people has come to stay.
He further stated that while it is yet to be served with any election petition, we posited that neither the party nor the Governor-elect is worried by the alleged petition as the election that produced the winner was adjudged to be of global democratic compliance.
He opines that the just concluded election passes test of best practices in electoral processes with the effective application of the electoral act which shut down all rigging plots and schemings of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated that the Party is not afraid of any election petition as the Legal Team of the PDP are always ready to defend whatever petition the APC is bringing, reiterating that the petition would be dead on arrival anytime it comes.
“The Party therefore assures its teeming loyalists, supporters and the good people of Osun State that there is no cause for alarm” he added
