Read detail of the statement below ?;
We wish to update the public on the outcome of the recently concluded Oluyole Federal Constituency election. Despite reports of unrest and violence at two collating centers Olomi and Liberty Academy. We ask our APC members and constituents in these two wards to please stay calm.
It is important to note that out of the 229 polling units in the constituency, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was unable to conclude collation of 6 units in ward 7 and 1 in ward 2 due to the actions of opposition party thugs who stormed the two collation centers having received the news of Hon. Tolu Akande-Sadipes victory, armed with deadly weapons i.e guns etc, with the intent to do grevious harm. In the process the INEC officials fled the venues, with varying degrees of injury. Whilst the thugs destroyed election materials etc.
However, we can confirm that the overall result confirms APC’s Akande-Sadipe as the winner, as reported by the form EC8A(I) from the affected polling units and observers at the general collation center. It is important to note that no official announcement has been made by INEC, and the commission’s state office would make an announcement in due course.
We commend the efforts of INEC and all security agencies involved in ensuring a peaceful and transparent electoral process. It is crucial for all parties involved to maintain peace and order during and after the electoral process to ensure a free and fair election.
In conclusion, we wish to reiterate that the Oluyole Federal Constituency election is not inconclusive as we await INECs pronouncement.
We wish all our injured youth corpers, INEC staff and APC Party agents a speedy recovery.
Thank you.
Signed,
Olusada Olamilekan O.
