The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ogun state chapter has described the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) call for a rerun of the just concluded gubernatorial election in the state as ridiculous.

APC made the statement through its Publicity Secretary in the state, Tunde Oladunjoye, on Sunday in Abeokuta. According to Oladunjoye, the PDP’s call for a rerun of the election shows that they are “sore losers.”

The APC secretary went further saying the fact that the major opposition party made the cry for a rerun barely a few minutes after the declaration of results by the Independent National Electoral Commission, “could only have come from people who knew of their electoral loss well ahead”.

“It is unfortunate that we have to react to this baseless demand purportedly from PDP but intriguingly published by one of Amosun’s lackeys even when major newspapers are yet to report or give details of the governorship election results.

“The just retired former political gladiators should first go back home and drink water and relax even as they lick their wounds. With their failure at the polls, it is still appearing to them as a dream because it is unbelievable to them that they could lose the election despite the humongous ill-gotten wealth and violence that the grandstanders displayed and deployed.

“It is a big shame, glaring disrespect for the dead, and an acute moral deficiency for the PDP’s guber candidate, Ladi Adebutu, to involve the name of his late mother in record-breaking electoral bribery; the scale of which has never been witnessed in the annals of politics not only in Ogun state but also in Nigeria.”

He cited the case of the PDP agent nabbed in Ado Odo-Ota by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, noting that though the charity foundation that the PDP gubernatorial candidate had set up in his late mother’s name is a good gesture; however, it is “most uncharitable, unacceptable, and ridiculous” to use it as an avenue to induce voters.

APC urged its supporters to keep faith with them and just like their governor, be magnanimous in victory, avoid provocation, and report any threat to peace to the nearest police station.
