Governorship, state assembly elections peaceful, reflect people’s wishes in Ogun: APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun has described the March 18 governorship and state assembly elections as a peaceful and true reflection of people’s expectations.
APC spokesman in Ogun Tunde Oladunjoye disclosed this in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
The statement maintained that the party won “fair and square” the gubernatorial election despite vote buying and violence allegedly perpetrated by the opposition in the state.
“We all witnessed how these desperate politicians and their gullible followers, bent on wresting power by force, broke all rules of civility and violated electoral guidelines,” said the APC. “Our party, the APC, not only won the election with majority votes but also won in 12 of the 20 local government areas in Ogun state. In addition, our party won 17 out of the 26 state house of assembly constituency seats.”
The statement mentioned that the electorate stood firm, chose good governance over deceptive candidates, and urged politicians to exhibit maturity by conceding defeat.
