Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the Osun gubernatorial election will end the political careers of National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; and the APC.
The controversial ex-minister made this known in a Saturday night tweet via his verified Twitter handle.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the result of Saturday’s election inconclusive and declared a rerun in the seven polling units where results were cancelled for Thursday, September 27.
But Fani-Kayode said that the day of the rerun would herald the end of the political careers of Tinubu, Aregbesola and the APC when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Sen. Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke is declared winner.
He tweeted:
The result of the Osun state election is the beginning of the political funeral rites of:
1. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
2. Rauf Aregbesola.
3. The APC.
The final burial will be on Thursday 27th September 2018 when the @OfficialPDPNig's Demola Adeleke reclaims his stolen mandate.

Earlier, Fani-Kayode outlined the strategies that the PDP could deploy to ensure victory over the APC candidate, Gboyega Oyetola.
INEC had declared that Senator Ademola Adeleke scored 254,698 votes to beat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress who polled 254,345 votes but added that it could not declare Adeleke winner because the number of votes cancelled – 3,498 -was higher than 353 by which the PDP candidate defeated Oyetola.

The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Sen. Iyiola Omisore, came a distant third.
However, Fani-Kayode, a PDP chieftain, urged Adeleke to reach out to Omisore in order to secure victory for the party.
He said, “I am so proud of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun. Congrats to my friend and brother Demola Adeleke. Now is the time for us to reach out and work with others. I will talk to my cousin Iyiola Omisore. He is a fighter. We need him. We must join forces and send the APC demons packing.”
