Nigerians have taken to social media to express strong opinions about Thursday’s gubernatorial rerun election in Osun State and the subsequent declaration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the election.
The INEC Returning Officer, Prof Joseph Fuwape, said that Oyetola defeated his closest challenger, Sen. Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 482 votes to emerge winner of the governorship election.
While Oyetola was said to have scored 255,505 votes, Adeleke was said to have secured 255,023 votes.

But the process, according to multiple sources, was marred with widespread irregularities.
Nigerians, who took to social media to bare their minds on the poll, said:
I have never been this hurt, cheated or insulted before in my life like Buhari and APC did to me with this #OsunRerun …I am not from osun but I am a Nigerian… @inecnigeria I don't even have what to tell u yet…

The elections successfully rigged to the favour of Oyetola. Exposes do-or-die politics of APC. Where is @MBuhari integrity? Broad day light robbery of the Osun people's mandate. Let God be true and everyman a list. God shall not keep silent!

What Osun has shown
It is now difficult to rig an election via vote-buying or by manually writing results in a godfather/Godmother's home.
The only way to rig is to actually use security apparatus/thuggery to SCARE voters away.
