APC’s move to challenge Adeleke’s victory at tribunal a wasteful voyage – PDP

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has decided to appeal the outcome of the governorship election held on July 16 before the electoral petition tribunal. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has responded.

Gboyega Famodun, the state’s APC chairman, told reporters on Thursday that the party has found enough evidence to contest Ademola Adeleke’s election victory.
The PDP, however, referred to the action as “anti-people and a challenge of God’s will” in a statement released by Akindele Adekunle, the chairman of its caretaker committee in the state.
In addition, it stated that the choice was a pointless endeavour.

The statement read: “We are yet to be served with any election petition. 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.

“This just concluded election passed a test of best practices in electoral processes with the effective application of the electoral act which shut down all rigging plots and scheming of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“PDP 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.”
