The Nation Newspaper Oyo LG Poll full of deceits, frauds, say opposition parties
have condemned the just concluded April 27, local government election in the state, describing it as mere selection and not an election.
Recall that the Inter Party Advisory Council , the chairman in the state, Otunba Adegbenro Fagbemi said the election was credible, free, and fair. According to him, in a situation where over 70% of polling units did not receive ballot papers and stingily distributed them to some other polling units, can anyone adjudge that as an election?
“Even as a chairman of IPAC, he does not have the moral right to declare the election otherwise because the ruling PDP is also a member of IPAC.“For these reasons, whatever he said must have been to represent the position of his political party. Be that as it may, there is a moral question about the IPAC chairman to have used the name of IPAC in his address.
“We were given assurances time and time again that the election was going to be a record breaker in terms of transparency and credibility in the history of local government elections in Nigeria. “At that time, the IPAC chairman was Apostle Oludare Ojo. It was on that honourable arrangement and assurances that all political parties agreed to participate in the election. In fact, the assurance also encouraged APC that did not participate in the last election in 2021 to participate in this one in 2024.
