Fani-Kayode however warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against allowing itself to be used to thwart the will of the people of Osun, claiming that Adeleke has won the election even when the electoral body had not declared the winner.
He said, “The people have spoken and Osun is back in the hands of Peoples Democratic Party. If INEC rigs Osogbo and declares that APC won it will lose the little credibility that it has built up in the last 2 days. INEC must not allow themselves to be used to thwart the will of the people of Osun.”
