Osun election: Adeleke cries out, reveals what is happening state right now

The Governorship candidate under the flagship of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has
described the ongoing rerun election in seven units in the state as a
'coup.'

Adeleke, who spoke with Punch on Thursday said that supporters of the
PDP were being denied access to ballot papers in the governorship
rerun election.

"What is happening in Osun State now is not an election. What we have
is a coup. That is what we are witnessing now.

"Our supporters are being harassed and are not allowed to vote at all.
Let the whole world know that this is not democracy, " he said.

DAILY POST had earlier reported that Ademola Adeleke of the PDP led
the race in last Saturday's election with 254,698 votes, 353 votes
more than Oyetola.

The margin was, however, less than the 3,498 votes in the polling
units where votes were cancelled.

Consequently, the Returning Officer for the election, Professor Joseph
Afuape, declared the poll inconclusive.
