APC, PDP trade words over Offa LG rerun election

Date: 2013-09-06

The All Progressives Congress  has condemned the alleged vote robbery by the Peoples Democratic Party in last Saturday's rerun election  in  Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The APC, after   its National Executive Council meeting in Abuja,   said people who witnessed or monitored the election confirmed that it won convincingly.

It added in a statement  on Thursday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,   that  the alleged impunity perpetrated by the PDP had started haunting it, after  Mr. Afolabi Olawole,  who claimed to be the  PDP candidate in  Shawo South-West ward, rejected his so-called victory.

The statement reads in part, "This is a damning evidence that should make it clear to the PDP that its impunity cannot stand;  that there are still Nigerians, who have conscience and would sacrifice even their political and other careers for their integrity."

But the  Kwara State Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Yemi Afolayan,  said the Offa rerun election was free, fair and transparent.

He accused Mohammed of losing touch  with  the realities in Kwara politics.

He said Olawole had defected to  the ACN  and was replaced by another candidate.

Afolayan  challenged Muhammed to a debate on political and contemporary issues in Kwara State.

He said, "Muhammed  and I come from  the same local government.  He was not in Kwara State  and was not in Ofa during the election.  He did not see anything. Usually he  does not see anything when he reacts to things that happen in Kwara State . He bases his own views on hear-say.

"He does not even know the difference between what happened to someone who left PDP for the ACN or somebody who has been in  the ACN all along.

"The young man in question is a political prostitute.  He was in  the PDP and immediately he saw that PDP went to court, he jumped to  the ACN  thinking that  the ACN will win. But unfortunately,  the ACN did not laugh last."
