#OsunRerun: Adeleke rejects results
The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate , Senator Ademola Adeleke , has rejected the results of the rerun election even before the official announcement .
The candidate announced the rejection of the poll results in a statement issued on his behalf by the spokesperson for the Adeleke Campaign Organisation , Mr Olawale Rasheed .
The PDP candidate vowed to seek legal redress in court , saying the exercise was brazenly rigged .
Adeleke said the PDP supporters were harassed , intimidated and prevented from voting in some of the units while describing the exercise as a sham .
The statement read , â We report to the whole world the brazen theft and daylight swindling of Osun people who were criminally denied their rights to vote and be voted for by an anti – people conspiracy among INEC , security agencies and the ruling All Progressive Congress . An unprecedented travesty of justice and the shattering of democratic values are ongoing in Osun state .
â The whole world is witnessing a charade in the name of an election , a deliberate effort at the imposition of a discredited leadership on the suffering people of Osun State through undisguised brutal force , applying all standards, today â s supplementary poll is a non – event as all norms of electoral process were violated .
â Voters are deliberately refused access to polling points at gun points . Those allowed to voting centres are forced to vote for APC . PDP party agents are arrested, beaten up and shut out of polling centres . PDP agents are barred from many units. Roads are blocked to stop voters and observers.
â Journalists and election monitors are blocked from accessing many voting areas . Those who attempted gaining access are attacked by hooded thugs . PDP leaders are hounded and arrested. It was a brutal unleashing of force against unarmed election stakeholders. â
