From Paul Osuyi, Asaba
Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege has rejected the declaration of Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as winner of last Saturday’s election.
Omo-Agege who is the Deputy Senate President faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for returning Oborevwori as winner, alleging that there were “myriad of infractions and acts of impunity on the part of the PDP.”
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sunny Areh, Omo-Agege said the infractions were brought to the attention of INEC “with incontrovertible proof.
“The March 18 election was characterized by massive fraud, unprecedented vote buying and voter suppression perpetrated by the PDP in the course of the election.
“The fraudulent nature of PDP’s so-called victory are just too damning and daring for it to be acceptable in any decent society.
“Most of those infractions are on the public domain and known to INEC officials and the security agencies involved in superintending the election.”
