The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in South West on Wednesday alleged that there are plots by the Presidency to upturn the electoral victory of the Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, at the Supreme Court. The party submitted that the PDP roundly defeated the APC in Oyo state during the last governorship election, winning in twenty-eight local government areas while APC won in only five.

This was contained in the communiqué issued shortly after the South West stakeholders meeting of the party held in Abeokuta, Ogun state. Prominent among the PDP stalwarts at the meeting are the Deputy National Chairman, Yemi Akinwonmi; Vice Chairman of the PDP, Northwest, Senator Ibrahim Kazaure; National Vice Chairman, PDP, Southwest, Dr. Eddy Olafeso; a PDP Chieftain, Dr. Doyin Okupe and former Aviation minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode. Others include the Chief of Staff to the Oyo state governor, Chief Bisi Ilaka, and a PDP leader in Ogun, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, among others. The party described the Court of Appeal judgement on Makinde’s victory as “judicial anarchy” which created confusion that still persists.

According to the party, “We wish to re-emphasize and place firmly in public view that the PDP roundly defeated the APC in Oyo state during the last governorship election, winning in twenty-eight local government areas while APC won in only five.” “The only judgement that can remain consistent with the electoral desires of the people of that state is that which confirms the victory of the PDP in that election. Adedibu and APC’s direct evidence at the State Election Petition Tribunal, even if acceded to, cannot harm or injure the outcome of the election,” it added.

The party also demanded an urgent revisit of the electoral bill by the National Assembly. Recall that the 8th Assembly under the leadership of Senator Bukola Saraki had proposed an Electoral Act Amendment Bill which was vetoed by President Muhammadu Buhari. The leaders however renewed calls for a review of the bill. While making a case for the review of the electoral bill, the party said the bill must be signed so that results can be transmitted electronically.

It condemned the growing use of security agencies in untoward manners to compromise election results in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), especially during the last elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states.

Crying Wolf as usual

With this wrong accusation. I hope the presidency start working toward Apc victory in the supreme court.

k

PDP has been relegated as a party by Oshiomole. The rigging tools of APC

Rigged victory you mean, right?

That's what they're good at,rigging and upturning.

People would still complain about low morale as regards the Yuletide season, especially traders...

PDP pls let go of secondus the guy is a real looser. His regime no favour una unlike osho baba

PDP and allegations tho

It is possible

PDP have finally resumed the duty post of Wailers....... instead of them to work strategically , they are always ranting or looking for an excuse. Nigeria politics is not in any way appealing for the youths to join if you don't have the heart of the Devil or deceits.

make them free the niga o. at least na one of the governor wey dy try for this country now be dah

Pdp dey fear self, cos the way Apc dey Take run matter nowadays ehn e be like dem don sabi the game finish.

But the Oyo election is somehow credible to some extent so APC should leave Makinde alone

?!?
The only "young" Governor that is working? Why

They should rest na

Supreme Court should just hand OYO to APC


So that Yorubas can have peace and stop disturbing makinde..

Let the judgement be up turned.

Even the Oyo Apc supporters will reject this

MelesZenawi:
Supreme Court should just hand OYO to APC


So that Yorubas can have peace and stop disturbing makinde..

Let the judgement be up turned.

Who is this

Supreme court wont do nonsense with the judgement. Seyi defeated Penkele round and flat. They won't get through the back door as it was the people's mandate.

I noticed the campaign vehicles of Penkelemsi are back on the road for awareness . He had better auction the vehicles to his loyal party members coz they are not likely to get to the government house in Agodi

Let them try that.........Wild Wild West of the 1960s on my mind!
With the way things are going, APC only need to make a costly mistake of messing around with Oyo state to trigger the real revolution. But I know the cabal DSS and PMB knows better than to allow such a dangerous venture.

Any attempt to upturn Makinde victory will be chaotic.

Who is this

Story

Let the Apex Court sack Makinde and return APC candidate so that there will be Peace and joy again in Oyo.


Let him go.....he is in the wrong party.

Oyo people shouldn't allow that ooo.


GSM that has been setting new bars

. We are talking about legal tussle these party illiterates are holding conference.Whatever you say here does not determine the outcome of the case at the supreme Court. In the case of Osun what happened when the PDP lost at. the SC? When Atiku lost there what happened? Makinde should charge his lawyers to properly represent him not this needless press conferences. The winner of the election was determined by the majority votes not the no of the local governments won.If the SC sustains the appeal court judgement. heaven won't fall.Fresh election ,rerun election or new winner can be announced depending on what is in the petition and there is nothing all the pot-bellied politicans at this time wasting press conferences would do to it.
