APC said the result that declared PDP winner on Sunday was cooked.
The All Progressives Congress, APC has demanded the immediate announcement of the authentic results of Saturday’s rerun election in Offa local government by the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission, KWASIEC.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said,”The cooked results announced by the Kwara PDP on Sunday, in which the party brazenly converted its defeat to victory, are totally acceptable and will not stand.”
It said that according to the authentic results of the elections, which are in possession of KWASIEC as well as security agencies, the APC got 11,526 votes against PDP’s 4,668; as against the cooked figures announced by the PDP in Ilorin, which awarded the PDP 35,937 and the APC 20,161.
The APC expressed shock at the antics of the Electoral Officer of the Offa local government and other KWASIEC officials, who sneaked out of the local government collation centre just when the results were to be announced and have yet to carry out their assigned duties.
“The next thing was that the PDP took the laws into its own hands and announced the cooked results via the state’s radio station Sunday morning.This impunity is condemnable and will be fought to a logical conclusion using the instrumentality of the law,” the party said.
“There is no iota of doubt that the APC won the elections. It is common knowledge that if the elections were conducted 10 times, APC will beat the PDP 10 times. Offa people know who they voted for and are ready to defend their votes. Therefore, any attempt to thwart the will of the people will be resisted to the hilt,” it added.
