The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one of its major promoters, former governor of Ogun State Senator Ibikunle Amosun, are “a bunch of sore losers,” according to the Ogun state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has decried the PDP’s call for a rerun of the just-concluded governorship election in Ogun state.
In a statement released in Abeokuta, the APC said that “such a vile call, coming just minutes after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the results and published by an Amosun-founded and funded rag sheet, could only have come from people who knew of their electoral loss, well in advance.” Tunde Oladunjoye, the APC’s state publicity secretary, agreed.
The statement reads further: “It is unfortunate that we have to react to this baseless demand purportedly from PDP but published by one of Amosun’s lackeys even when major newspapers are yet to report or give details of the governorship election results.
“The just retired former political gladiators should first go back home and drink water and relax even as they lick their wounds. With their failure at the polls, it is still appearing to them as a dream because it is unbelievable to them that they could lose the election despite the humongous ill-gotten wealth and violence that the grandstanders displayed and deployed.
“While joining His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun to thank our people for keeping faith with our party, despite serious and devious financial temptation, we urge our supporters to be, just like our Governor, magnanimous in victory, avoid provocation, and report any threat to peace to the nearest police station.”
