‘Ondo Election Is Compromised, INEC Chairman Should Resign’

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Ondo Election, Mr Agboola Ajayi, has described the election as compromised.

He has also challenged the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to resign.

Ajayi anger centres on the conduct of the polls in Kiribo, Ese-Odo Local Government Area, which he says is greatly compromised

Ajayi, who was accredited and cast his vote at 10:45 a.m., at Unit 4, Ward 2 Idumado in Kiribo. Ese-Odo LGA, said that it took more than 10 minutes for the INEC BVAS to capture him.

“The system is not perfect and there are lots of complainants here and there.

“If INEC cannot successfully organise an election in just one state, then you must know that we are running into anarchy.

“I think it is deliberate on the part of INEC, on the part of the Resident Electoral Commission (REC).

“And we have said it severally that we don’t trust Barr. Oluwatoyin Babalola (REC). That this woman cannot be fair.

“The system is compromised and we have series of calls made by everybody. People are complaining of vote buying, BVAS problem. It is a very shameful exercise,” he said.

Agboola also called for the resignation of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC chairman, saying his conduct in the Ondo election justify his call.

“And I think people should call on the INEC chairman to resign if he cannot do the job. He should just resign.

“It is totally compromised. This is sad and Nigerians are not happy. Here, it is peaceful to some extent,” he said.
