The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Ilorin East and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdulwahab Oladimeji Issa has rejected the result of the just concluded elections, and vowed to challenge the outcome which saw Ahmed Yinka Aluko of the All Progressives Congress, APC, declared the winner at the elections Petitions Tribunal.
Wahab Issa, in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, appreciated the electorates across political affiliations for their unprecedented support and demonstration of their unparalleled understanding of democratic ethics in the polls.
"However, I wish to categorically reject the declaration of Ahmed Yinka Aluko of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election because the poll was marred by perceived manipulation of results, over voting and others in favour of the assumed winner of the poll."
"The people of Ilorin East and South Constituency massively came out to vote to echo their tiredness with the current dispensation under the APC. They came to do this honourably with the intention to address the decay in people's representation; they came with no intention to soil their hands; they came to vote the APC out."
"We have meticulously gathered overwhelming evidence of the electoral fraud that occurred in the constituency election held on Saturday 25th February. And we have decided to take legal action through the Election Petitions Tribunal."
"I want to confidently assure the electorates that by God’s grace, the mandate of the people shall be reclaimed. I want our teeming supporters and well-wishers, who are being pained by what they are seeing, to keep hope alive. Victory is certain. We should not be troubled and we should never opt for violence," it concludes.
