Osun Re-Run: PDP Has Already Won Elections

With the rerun elections for Osun state already here, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) says its confident of winning

In the elections which took place on Saturday, the candidate for the PDP, Ademola Adeleke had 254,698 votes as opposed to the APC’s candidate, Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola who had 254, 345.

This means that technically, Adeleke won the elections, but according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the number of cancelled votes during the election surpassed the margin with which Adeleke used to win and this, therefore, led to the results being declared as inconclusive.

PDP’s National Vice Chairman, South-South, Eddy Olafeso, however, is confident in Adeleke’s victory.

“For us, we are very confident that victory will be ours tomorrow. We already won anyway.” he said.

“We met with the leaders but victory is in the hands of God… even if people play around, God will not play around. He’ll determine the outcome of the election.”

 “PDP is not bothered because our people are resolute. And they are desirous in ensuring that the victory denied us on Saturday will eventually be ours.

“We have spoken to our people and we are certain that their experience from the current administration is enough for the need for a change that will bring development to the nation.

What is on ground is clear to all: eight years of total profligacy in Osun State. We will continue to speak with leaders, some of them will listen to us while some will do their own thing.”
