The candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party in the October 2020 Governorship Election, Babatunde Alli, had congratulated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for not losing irreparably in the fire that gutted Card Readers the night of Wednesday 10th October, 2020.

Reacting to the fire, Babatunde said “it could have been without any political undertone” even as he believed that INEC would not have been blameless, if the fire had impacted negatively on the preparation for the election.

Babatunde who attributed speculations of foul play by citizens to unreliable leadership said, “One of the misfortunes of wrong leadership, past and present, is loss of faith in practically every government-related events. If our leaders had been truthful to the citizens, there wouldn’t have been negative insinuations of wrongly doing on everything around elections”

He however advised sunshiners not to quit being watchful. “We need, for the first time to do the best. Come out in large numbers to vote, avoid vote buying and selling as well as stand-up to anything that attempt to steal the votes”.
