The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Oladipupo Adebutu, has accused the All Progressives Congress of sponsoring some political thugs that caused the death of an ad hoc staff member of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Emmanuel Adeniran.
“The man refused to rig, so they killed him—a man with three young children. I went there; you need to see that widow and the three children. Luckily, the man was smart enough; a lot of those results have been uploaded on the INEC Results Viewing Portal, but he still paid with his life.”
But reacting to Adebutu’s allegation, the Publicity Secretary of the APC, Tunde Oladunjoye, said the PDP candidate was suffering from delusion.“After his woeful loss of the election, he has suffered and is still suffering from delusion a hangover from his electoral loss. “The death of the deceased officer is painful, condemnable, and it is wickedness of the highest order. Ladi’s panicky, popularity-seeking visit to the deceased’s family and his gibberish are attempts to obstruct police investigations.
