The All Progressive Congress on Saturday warned the Peoples Democratic Party against announcing fake results that could compromise the integrity of the ongoing governorship election in Osun.
Ajibola Basiru, who is the Director General of the Oyetola campaign, in a statement, described as irresponsible the claim by the PDP, that it has won the election.
Claiming that the claims could set the state on fire, Basiru warned the PDP to desist from making a frivolous claim.
The statement noted, “It has come to our knowledge that the PDP in a statement is already claiming victory for an election whose result is yet to be declared. We are not surprised at their claim because we know their antics.
“Going by the result so far declared, there was no way PDP could lay claim to any victory. This is more so that in one of the Local Governments where the PDP candidate hails voting is still going on as we speak.
“Therefore, the PDP’s claim is tantamount to standing logic on its head. We appeal to our supporters and sympathisers in Osun and across the country to remain calm in the face of this obvious provocation.
“While we won’t do what the desperate people in the opposition PDP did by usurping the powers of INEC, we are however confident that with the positive results from the field at our disposal, the people’s support for Gov Oyetola will ultimately give him victory when the authority legally empowered to announce election results does so and he is declared Governor-elect,” Basiru added.
