ABEOKUTA—The All Progressives Congress, APC, in
Ogun State has accused a Senator-elect, Prince
Buruji Kashamu, of inducing voters during
Saturday’s national assembly elections in Ogun
East Senatorial District in which Buruji Kashamu
emerged winner.
The deputy director of Senator Ibikunle Amosun
Campaign Organisation, Bisi Adegbuyi, stated
this during a press briefing in Abeokuta on Monday,
claiming that it was “marred by gross irregularities,
inducement and intimidation of voters, manipulation
and falsification of the results.”
The party, however, vowed to contest the result at
the tribunal, maintaining that Kashamu
allegedly induced voters, manipulated and falsified
results of the polls.
At the election, the APC’s candidate for the Ogun
East Senatorial District, Dapo Abiodun, the party’s
candidates for Remo and Ijebu North/Ijebu East/
Ogun Waterside federal constituencies, Olayinka
Odufuwa and Sulaiman Olubiyi respectively lost in
the election.
Adegbuyi, said the results announced by the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
did not reflect the wishes of the people of Ogun
East, describing the election as a mere charade.
He said the party has “incontrovertible evidence of
the manipulations that took place and the roles
played by certain individuals.”
According to him,”We therefore reject the results of
the national assembly elections, particularly the one
for the senatorial seat and the two federal
constituencies, Remo and Ijebu North/Ijebu East/
Ogun Waterside.
“We want the entire world to know that the results
as announced by INEC reflect predetermined,
manipulated and fictitious figures forged by a
rigging machinery of the PDP led by its senatorial
candidate, Mr. Buruji Kashamu.
“The APC is determined to challenge the results of
the Ogun East senatorial elections and the two
House of Representatives seats within the confines
of the law.”
But, in his reaction, Kashamu denied the
allegations, saying the claims by the APC are totally
unfounded.
Kashamu who spoke through his media aide, Austin
Oniyokor, noted that if there was rigging and
intimidation, as alleged, the accusers should supply
the details.
He said: “Ordinarily, we would not have dignified
them with a response. You can see that the
statement is loud in noise and lacking in substance.
“If they say there was rigging, intimidation and
manipulation during the election, they should supply
the details, rather than hiding under some nebulous
excuses that say nothing.”
