Ondo guber: Ajayi rejects election results, heads to Tribunal

Some 48 hours after the declaration of Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State as the winner of last Saturday’s governorship election, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the election.

Ajayi, who said he has been studying and examining the election results across the state, disclosed that he would be heading to the tribunal to seek justice.

The former Deputy Governor said he kept silent since the announcement of the results to enable him to investigate what he termed “contents of criminality prosecuted by both the APC and the INEC.”

Ajayi said the investigation uncovered many actions undertaken to compromise the electoral will of the people.

Speaking in a statement through his Special Adviser, Ayo Fadaka, Ajayi said democracy could not thrive in an environment where unabated criminality was perpetrated in the prosecution of an election by INEC.

He noted that elections conducted by INEC since the APC assumed power in 2015 have continued in the tradition of hijacking the process and delivering results that were diametrically opposed to the expressed electoral will.
