Omisore Finally Drags Aregbesola To Election Tribunal Today

After a comprehensive review of the processes leading to the announced outcome of the August 9, 2014 gubernatorial election in Osun state, we are convinced that there were massive irregularities and monumental fraud perpetrated by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola led All Progressives Congress (APC ) in the state.

We have, therefore, decided to challenge this brazen attempt to subvert the wishes of the electorate who came out to support our Rescue Mission Campaign, and gubernatorial candidates of the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) at the Tribunal as provided for by the constitution and electoral laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In our effort, we are mindful of the massive investment in deceit -driven propaganda unleashed on the citizens of Osun state by the APC. This, they hope, will distract attention from how electoral heist was perpetrated by the Ogbeni Aregbesola and his colleagues long before the elections and the deployment of O-YES cadets as election officers to compromise the valid votes of the good people of Osun state.
We are committed to ensuring that scientific rigging of elections in Osun state, and indeed in Nigeria are both exposed and reversed. Our legal team will reveal shocking graphic details of pre-election rigging led by the leadership of the APC who had directed that all its officers relocate to Osun state before the election in addition to the subversive roles these ubiquitous officials played in the elections as they compromised some of the INEC officials.
On account of these, and many other damning revelations, we affirm that the announced outcome of the August 9, 2014 Gubernatorial elections in Osun state are not a true reflection of the votes cast in the election, and reject in all its entirety.
We shall seek to retrieve the mandate, freely given by the citizens of Osun state, to our candidates and party, stolen by sophisticated election rigging techniques by the APC. We shall do this using legal means as provided for by both the constitution and electoral laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We shall continue to provide information to our aggrieved supporters and party members and urge them all to go about their lawful duty without any fear of intimidation.
We use this opportunity to invite media organisations who have followed the Osun state election process before, during and after the gubernatorial election to cover the filling our papers at the Tribunal in Osogbo on Wednesday 27th August,2014 at 10 AM and its subsequent seating.
All the antics of those who have corrupted the electoral system through their ill -gotten wealth would come into the public glare. And people will then be in a better position to identify the pseudo-democrats who are parading themselves as progressives.
This is a case that will deepen democracy as shocking revelations will be made during the course of this epic legal battle that would strengthened the course of democracy in Osun state in particular and Nigeria in general.
We proceed to the Tribunal with abiding faith in God Almighty who will always make the victory of the unjust pyrrhic and confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of the cheated.
