Osun State Government Debunks Rumour Of Omisore's Win

The SA on Media and Communications to Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola ,Semiu Okanlawon has just called CKN Nigeria to debunk the story making the rounds that PDP's candidate Iyiola Omisore had the highest vote from the recounted result from the Osun election..He stated that the statement is a mere imagination of the writers..According to him,the Tribunal did not even seat today..So please discard the rumour, Okanlawon concluded


The Initial Rumour:


:“B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G News!!!Osun Election Tribunal: Omisore (PDP) Received More Valid Votes.**Re-counted Result: Aregbesola 296,344 Votes; Omisore 308,299.**Omisore (PDP) asked Tribunal to declare him winner & governor elect. **Aregbesola (APC) demands INEC to re-run the Election.The proceeding at Osun election has indicted that the likelihood of Osun state having a new chief executive in the next few weeks is very high. The tribunal's manual insp...ection and re-counting of ballot papers used for the election exposed that over one hundred thousand invalid votes were dumped in favour of Governor Aregbesola in almost all the Local authorities in the states.Majority of these thumb printed ballot papers are from Ekiti state election in favour of Aregbesola (APC), were discovered in local government like Osogbo, Olorunda, Ejigbo, Ede North, Irewole, Ila-Orogun, Irepodun and others Aregbesola (APC) claimed he won.Tribunal adjourned sitting to 30th of October, 2014 with newly appointed Judges as members. Justice E.N. Ikpejime from Benue State, will serve as chairman, Justice V.I Ofesi from Delta State and Justice Kutigi from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja are members.As things stands now Omisore secured more valid votes in the Osun state governorship election and according to Hope for Nigeria, if the new Tribunal members confirm the re-counted results, Osun state will surely be having a new governor in couple of weeks to come”
