Losers in Ondo Poll Can Go to Court for Redress – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has reacted to the Ondo State governorship election saying that those who lose the election and are not satisfied with the conduct of the exercise should approach the court for redress.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has already announced the candidate of Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress, Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the winner of the election. He beat Agboola Ajayi with a margin of 248,000 votes. The PDP has already called the outcome a sham and said it would seek redress at the court.
Tinubu reacted through his spokesperson Bayo Onanuga in a statement on Sunday. The president commended the electoral commission for the exercise, which was promptly and democratically conducted.
“The President urges candidates dissatisfied with the outcome of the election to explore the opportunities provided by the judicial system to seek redress on areas of conflict.”
The statement added, “President Tinubu believes the Ondo State election was another litmus test of the capacity of the Independent National Electoral Commission, affirming that the electoral body justified the confidence of the people with early preparations, deployment of staff and materials, and handling of the electoral process.
“The President also commends INEC for the efficiency of uploading more than 98 per cent of results on the same day of the elections.”
