PDP Rejects Ekiti Election Results


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday describing the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a daylight robbery.
It further described the election as “electoral banditry,” saying the exercise should be cancelled.
The party also rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the declared winner of the poll, saying the results declared by the INEC were different from those obtained by its agents at the various polling units in the 16 Local Government Areas in the state.
The PDP also said should there be any breakdown of law and order in the state as a result of the exercise, President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC and security agencies should be held responsible, adding that the trio aided the “subversion of the will of the people.”
Ologbondiyan said the party would set up a committee to determine the next course of action, even as he vowed that “nobody, no matter how highly placed,” can cage the PDP.
