Tension As Shooting Rocks Osun Over Senatorial Result - The Punch Newspaper by iliyasudaddy(m): 1:12am On Mar 30, 2015 |
There was palpable tension along Gbongan/Osogbo road and at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Sunday night . It was gathered that the result from Ife Central Local Government Area was the subject of controversy between supporters of the All Progressives Congress and those of the Peoples Democratic Party. The candidate of the APC in Osun East Senatorial District, Senator Jide Omoworare, and his challenger, Mr. Francis Fadahunsi, a retired Assistant Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs, were said to have stormed the INEC office to safeguard different versions of the election result from the local government, which has the highest number of voters in the district. Some supporters of the two politicians were said to have followed their political leaders to the INEC office to lodge their complaints. The result from the council is very important because without announcing the result from the council, it would not be safe to declare any of the contestants as the winner of the poll. Our correspondent gathered that Omoworare stormed the gate of the INEC office around 8.45pm and wanted to gain entry but was prevented from going into the office by armed policemen. Fadahunsi was also said to have arrived the INEC office with his supporters and he was also barred from gaining entry. However, a security source said a leader of one of the political parties was eventually allowed inside the office. Some minutes after the two gladiators were prevented from gong inside the INEC office, some residents of the area told our correspondent that heavy shooting broke out.

I heard the REC confirm the result was tampered with that the EO for the Local Government was forced to change the result at gunpoint. APC agents and 3 other poll agents confirmed the sheet presented by the EO was not the real result and thankfully the altercation he did was obvious. The REC has asked all agents and party return tomorrow to sort out the result polling unit by polling unit tomorrow. they underestimate the ability and advancement of the APC. |
