Eminent lawyer and activist, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, Esq., has described last Saturday’s Osun state governorship election which was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as “a loud statement from the masses of our people on the fate of our politicians, to say: Enough Is Enough!”

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) narrowly lost the election to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adegboruwa said yesterday in a statement issued in Abuja, the nation’s capital: “So, in any State where the Governor is owing workers’ salaries, or has performed below expectation, the people should reject him for second term or for Senate and also reject his appointed or anointed successor, whether in PDP or APC.

“I however appeal to INEC to conduct itself and its activities with manifest integrity, transparency and honesty. It should not give the wrong impression that it is sympathetic to the ruling or opposition parties.

“I further appeal to the people of Osun to allow the rerun election, mobilise themselves and reassert their will, and tell Nigerians clearly and convincingly, their true choice, as between the two leading contenders for the office of governorship.

“I can only appeal to the President to see to it that he bequeaths to us, an electoral regime that is totally free, that is more peaceful and credible, than the one that brought him into office, when he defeated a sitting President, in 2015.

“Let the people of Osun speak again!!!”
