At a strategic meeting held in Ibara Housing estate Abeokuta on the 16th of March, 2019, the guber candidate of Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Hon. Adekunle Abdulkabir Akinlade affirmed his resolve to challenge the March 9th election results at the tribunal. He claimed that compelling evidence available to him and his team clearly shows that APM won the election but was rigged out.
He said that his team has spent the last week gathering evidence to prove this claim.
When reminded that he once said that he will accept the election result if he lost, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade said that in this instance, he did not loss but was rigged out.
Akinlade also claimed that Prince Dapo Abiodun was quoted of boasting that ‘Federal Might’ will be deployed to undermine the tribunal judgement regardless of how credible the APM evidence are.
Meanwhile, Hon Adekunle Akinlade(MHR) said he will formally write Mr. President (H. E. Muhammad Buhari) and Prof. Yemi Oshibajo (VP) on the need to protect his constitutional rights as a supportive citizen who openly endorsed thier candidatures and mobilized votes for them during the just concluded Presidential election.
He further said that he has directed his legal team to write the US, UK, EU and other international organisations to send independent obsevers to monitor the Ogun guber tribunal case because any attempt by anyone or group to manipulate or buy judgement, no matter how highly placed will be resisted with all means possible.
In his words, “they stole our APC mandate at the guber primaries on 2nd of Oct. 2018. They brought in armed uniformed men on the night of March 9th 2019, to manipulate and substitute election results, arrest and send APM agents away from collation centres to achieve their plans to rig the election”.
Akinlade therefore, call on the good people of Ogun State to remain calm and resolute while promising to restore their mandate and put smiles on thier faces no matter the cost.
