The Imole Campaign Council, ICC, has alleged there is a plot by lNEC to declare the Osun governorship election inconclusive.

n

ICC’s Chairman, Media & Publicity, Bamidele Salam, said the move was being pushed by APC governors and leaders to frustrate the “imminent victory” of Sen. Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party.

n

In a statement, Salam said:
“Our Party wishes to inform Nigerians of a sinister plan by INEC to declare the ongoing Governorship election inconclusive… to hijack our candidate’s victory and subvert the will of the gallant Osun electorate._”

n

He urged the lNEC Chairman to honour his pledge for a free, fair and credible poll, and reminded INEC, APC and security agencies of President Tinubu’s directive that the election should not be compromised.

n

Salam also called on the IGP, DSS DG, and NSCDC Commandant-General* to provide security at all collation centres to stop “hoodlums hired by the APC.”
He cited reports of ballot box snatching in some polling units and demanded arrests.

n

He further called on local and international observers* to speak out “on the side of the law and people of Osun State.”
