The Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State has described the recently concluded Osun local government poll as unnecessary and a deliberate wasting of the
The party, which made the description in a statement signed by Adekunle Akindele, the Osun PDP caretaker chairman in Osogbo on Saturday, added that the purported failure of the exercise was a vindication on its position that illegality would not have its way in the State.
“Ballot papers purportedly used does not specify political parties nor does it designate the local government it was meant for. This explains the curiosity of Osun people and observers, who wondered whether it was an election or referendum that the Oyetola administration conducted. “The OSIEC Chairman should therefore note that he has prepared a solid ground of gross misconduct for himself and his members, and therefore will be taken to public account and forever go down in history as the biggest fraud that has ever happened to democracy not only in Osun State but Nigeria as a whole.”
“Local government elections are very important. Local government is the heartbeat of contact in government, so it is important for all of us to exercise our civic responsibility by casting our votes for the candidates of our choice,” he said. Oladitan said other political parties which had indicated interest in the election failed to submit candidates as of the last day of nomination.
