Chief Barrister Robinson Akpua Reacts To Osun Inconclusive Poll

The Presidential Hopeful of the National Democratic Liberty Party, NDLP in the 2019 elections, Chief Barrister Robinson Akpua has bared his mind on the September 22 Governorship election in Osun state nigeria.

Chief Barrister Akpua in a media chat stated that the INEC's decision to declare Osun poll inconclusive was not done in good faith and that it presents the national polity to a global glare negatively.

Describing it as erroneous, the Presidential Aspirant said that INEC ought to have declared the result, as was done in Kogi and other states considering the fact that people came out en mass to vote for their choice candidate.

''though there was some areas where some INEC officials were caught tearing the ballot papers because the result didn't favor their candidate, it was very bad to witness such in this democratic regime, I was flabbergasted when I saw the pictorial evidence''

''I enjoin the INEC Chairman to write his name in gold by ensuring that the forthcoming rerun in the state is conducted free and fair because the international community is watching''

Expressing optimism over his victory in the 2019 presidential election, chief Akpua cautioned that the Osun state governorship election will serve as a litmus test to the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

The Legal Practitioner who frowned at the perceived abnormalities that have characterized the conduct of elections under the APC administration, advised that the electoral body, INEC should be allowed to carry out its responsibilities without fear or favor. 

''Well I strongly believe that INEC is an independent body and ought to be on their own without any interference as stipulated in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act, though abnormalities if done under APC will be ascribed to APC holistically thus the general believe that any incumbent government pilot, galvanize and dictates for INEC'.'

 "He who plays the piper dictates it's tones" though there are divergence opinion to this, INEC may be acting on their own, but Let’s believe that the said abnormalities was a mistake, they should not allow such mistake to repeat, this is because, Other opposition parties are attracting sympathy by the general public, thereby jeopardizing the chances of the APC in the forthcoming election, as I said earlier, the international community is watching and it will send a bad signal and will put our Democracy in shambles.
