Epoch Moment As 30 Political Parties Endorse Ajadi

It was an epoch moment yesterday at Abeokuta, the capital city of Ogun State, where ten political parties and 20 deregistered others boosted the fortunes of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

At a grand event that took the entire capital by storm, they trooped out in their number, and endorsed the gubernatorial candidate of the party, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo.

The tumultuous crowd later spilled into the streets, drumming and dancing.

Speaking at the event, the chairman of the party, Comrade Sunday Olaposi, appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for free and fair election.

He said this would begin with the INEC ensuring workability of the BVAS as well as immediate transmission of results.

“We believe in the workability of Nigeria, we believe that a free and fair election in the country is possible.

“The presidential election was marred by irregularities; another opportunity is coming this Saturday and we appeal to the INEC to do its job well”, he said.
