Osun rerun: Again, PDP raises alarm over alleged move to manipulate voters’ register

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has raised a fresh alarm on the
alleged covert move to doctor the voters' register against the
Thursday rerun election in Osun State.

DAILY POST recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) on Sunday declared the Saturday's gubernatorial election in the
state inconclusive and fixed run-off for Thursday, September 27.

The Zonal Secretary, PDP South West, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo disclosed this
on Sunday night in a chat with newsmen at Ede, Osun State.

He further alleged that concerted efforts are ongoing to
disenfranchise voters of PDP affiliations.

"Just today, an APC member was busted at Kasorock Hotel opposite Moye
oil, Osogbo, one Hon. Tayo, a councillor at the Osogbo ward five was
caught working on INEC Voters' register, altering figures, data,
images, and names.

"Vigilant members of the public swooped on the devil element who is
working to subvert the will of the people.

"We would have thought this was impossible, but we remember very well
that this occurred at Egbedore(ward 10, unit 2, 4, 6.8, and 71) and
Ifedayo, where hundreds of voters were disenfranchised.

"We call on INEC to immediately restore the sanctity of voters
register for Osogbo and Orolu. We will not accept usage of doctored
register for the rerun", Jenyo asserted.

He reeled out several discrepancies in the result figures released by
INEC, alleging that the mathematical error in the compilation of
results was a deliberate act to favour the APC.

"We subsequently call on INEC to immediately restore the correctness
of their records, as the records are fraught with multiple errors
which question the integrity of the personnel and the outputs."
