……CALLS FOR CANCELLATION OF THE LG POLLS.
The Social Democratic party SDP in Ondo state has alleged the ruling All Progressives Congress APC of massively rigging the last Saturday’s local government election in the state.
The Chairman of the party, Barr Gbenga Akinbuli emphasized that, the election should be cancelled based on lack of credibility, non provision of Form ECA , writing of so-called election results on a sheet of paper, at Odigbo and Ile Oluji by ODIEC officials, ballot stuffing, and Police one – sidedness through the DPO.
However, the party also accused a Divisional Police Officer, DPO in charge of Ore Division, for aiding the thuggery activities of the APC boys and unwarranted arrest of SDP candidates in the area for kicking against the “election robbery” of the APC
According to the party Chairman, the video evidence available to them, shows how the DPO Babatunde Emmanuel supervised the merciless beating of the Chairmanship candidate of the party in the area, Hon Jimmy Akiyan , who is now Hospitalized.
The party however called on the Inspector General Of Police Kayode Egbetokun and the state Police Command to immediately dismiss the DPO from the service for being biased and putting the name of the Nigerian Police in the mud, helping a political party to rig election and chasing away opposition party members from polling unit saying the video evidence was taking and will be ready to tender for proof.
Akinbuli condemned to it’s totality the shortage of security personnel of the Nigerian Police Force for the election which also gave room for molestation by the rulling party, APC.
