The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has
described Thursday’s rerun election held in Osun State as a total
sham and the biggest electoral fraud in the history of the country.
Saraki, who
is also a presidential aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated
this while addressing journalists during his campaign tour in Kaduna State.
The Senate President consequently called for
the cancellation of the result, especially in view of the complaints made about
the supplementary election.
Saraki
accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of rigging the election, stressing
that the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola
Adeleke, ought to have been declared the winner by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday.
This, he
said, is because Adeleke had polled the highest number of votes based on the
vote count on Sunday.
According to
him, the alleged brazen rigging that characterised the rerun election shows
that the ruling APC is desperately working to resist any form of opposition
ahead of the 2019 election.
