Osun Guber: PDP Plans to Rig Ten L/G - APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has identified ten  local governments in Osun state, where it alleged the People Democratic Party  plans to massively rig the August 9th governorship election.

Following its allegation that PDP may try to influence election  officials,  APC said that its agents will not sign any false results of the August 9th election emanating from compromised returning officer.

The alleged flash points include  Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ife South, Olurunda, Iwo, Ifelodun, Osogbo, Odo Otin and Aiyedade.

In a statement issued  on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly told the security agencies that he wants victory for his party at all costs, adding that such admonition  will definitely shape their perception of the election as a do-or-die affair.

2015: Osun SSG’s senatorial ambition may tear APC apart in Iwo

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, indications have emerged that the ruling All Progressive Party, APC, may be in trouble in Osun West Senatorial District, especially in Iwo – a stronghold of the party, and the development may not be unconnected with the alleged senatorial ambition of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti.

Adeoti, who is from Iwo and former state chairman of the party until his appointment as the SSG in 2011, was reportedly nursing the fear that he may not be returned as the SSG, even if Governor Rauf Aregbesola wins his re-election bid, and was therefore busy strategising, covertly to contest the osun West senatorial ticket with the incumbent, Senator Mudahir Hussein, who hails from Ejigbo, the headquarters of Ejigbo Local Government Area of the state.

But National Mirror investigations revealed that party members in Adeoti’s hometown are not satisfied with the performance of their kinsmen elected on the platform of the party to the state’s House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, Ezekiel Adeyemi and Gafar Akintayo Amere respectively, who they claim were imposed on them by Adeoti in the first place.
