Opposition parties in Ogun State were divided over the outcome of the last Saturday governorship election won by Governor Dapo Abiodun.
The chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Samson Okusanya at a press conference; commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for the success of the election, describing it as free, fair and credible.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of Registered Political Parties led by the State Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Oginni Olaposi, rejected Abiodun’s declaration by INEC in its entirety, saying it cannot stand, insisting that the body lacks powers to endorse any governorship candidate or validate the outcome of the polls in the matter which Okusanya-led IPAC did.
Oginni, therefore he called for the suspension of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Niyi Ijalaye, and arrest of the state Returning Officer, Prof Kayode Adebowale, who is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, for committing what they describe as “heinous crime against democracy”
