KWASIEC's Daylight Robbery In Offa LG Election

We in All Progressive Youth Forum of the APC condemn in totality, the
show of shame that took place in Offa, Kwara state over the weekend.
As a party that abides by set down rules and regulation, APC contested
the local government re-run election which it won withan overwhelming
majority in 11 wards in Kwara, losing only Igboodun ward. We were
therefore surprised to hear the announcement of a pre-written result
by the KWASIEC on Sunday morning at its Ilorin headquarters, contrary
to the collating centre as stipulated by the law establishing KWASIEC.
The result as announced by KWASIEC is a fraud and doesn't reflect the
true state ofaffairs on the Election Day. To prove the result
announced was pre-written, the total votes awarded to both parties far
out-number the total number of registered voters who cast their votes
on Saturday.
For the benefit of doubt, the result sheets from each ward and polling
unit signed by thepresiding officers, agents of all parties and
security agents are in our custody and we hereby present the true
results from each ward below:
Balogun Ward: APC - 1129, PDP -504;
Shawo Central: APC -1132, PDP- 435;
Shawo SW : APC- 1171, PDP – 372;
Shawo SE: APC- 1054, PDP -370;
Essa A : APC – 639, PDP -363;
Essa B: APC -644, PDP -381;
Ojomu NW : APC -1314, PDP -446;
Ojomu Central 1: APC -866, PDP -373;
Ojomu Central 2 : APC – 866, PDP- 373;
Ojomu SE : APC -1374, PDP -427;
Ogbodun : APC – 268, PDP – 381; and
Essa C : APC - 972 , PDP – 351.
The tally shows the APC having 11,526 as against PDP's 4,668.
The APC suspected foul play when the Returning Officer absconded and
refused to announce the results despite everything being in order.
KWASIEC needs to realise that some contestants from the Peoples
Democratic Party it awarded victory have come out to deny such
Victory.
The councellorship candidate in Shawo South West ward in Offa Local
Government of Kwara State, Mr. Afolabi Olawole rejected victory
awarded it by KWASIEC at the election. Mr. Afolabi was one of the PDP
contestant declared winner of Shawo SouthWest election by the Kwara
State Independent Electoral Commission(KWASIEC) in Saturday's rerun
election.
We have done our best to calm Offa indigeneswhose mandate were stolen
in broad daylight, but skirmishes of protest are beginning to surface,
so it doesn't escalate, we call on KWASIEC to do the needful by:
1. Withdrawing the certificate of return givingto the PDP candidate.
2. Declaring our candidate the duly elected winner of the local
government re-run election.
3. Issuing the certificate of return to the APC candidate and lastly,
4. Apologize to APC, Offa indigenes, Kwarans, and the entire country
for putting us through this ordeal.
We also call on the good people of Offa to remain law abiding and do
everything within the law to refute this attempt at stealing their
mandate.
A word is enough for the wise!
Long live APC!
Long live Offa local Government,!
Long live Kwara!
Long live Nigeria!
