OSUN 2018:  What kind of mathematics is INEC now involved in? – Justice Oloyede (Rtd) queries INEC on election rerun

Former Retired Justice Olamide Oloyede has condemned INEC in strong terms for its declaration of Osun State governorship election as inconclusive.

Justice Oloyede is the running mate to Moshood Adeoti of Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Osun State,

 She said Senator Ademola Adeleke, ought to have been declared the winner of the election.

Oloyede said the cancellation of votes in those polling units were orchestrated before the poll and it was unfortunate. And that the INEC allowed itself to be used to rob the people of the state.

She said, “The people have spoken and that is the beauty of democracy.  What the people said should be allowed to stand and whatever we do today will become history in the future.

“There have been antecedents, Kogi State is one, Oshiomhole’s case is another one. The cancelled votes were not deducted from the voters and they did not affect the winners of the elections in any way.

“That is why I am a bit worried now. I am worried and I said to myself, why are they making Osun State an exemption in this case? Once you cancelled votes, they no longer form parts of the valid votes. So why will you now be deducting cancelled votes in this case? What kind of mathematics is INEC now involved in?

“It is rather an orchestrated thing. I was told by somebody before the election that votes from these areas would be cancelled but I did not believe the person. I was shocked when what he said came to pass. What he said was very accurate and I began to wonder because this is strange.”
