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 , “ 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 .

“ 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 ’ s supplementary poll is a non – event as all norms of electoral process were violated .

“ 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.

‘ 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. ”
