'Osun Decides' Decleared Inconclusive by INEC.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed September 27th for Osun State governorship rerun. 

INEC claims that irregularities which marred the election at some polling units in Ife North, Ife South and Orolu local government areas, had caused the action.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, had polled 254,698 votes to defeat that of the All Progressives Congress, Gboyega Oyetola, who polled 254,698 votes.

The Returning Officer and Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Prof Joseph Fowape on announcing the result, enlisted cases of card reader malfunctioning, ballot box snatching, among others, as some of the ugly incidents that occurred which according to him led to the cancellation of about 3,498 votes recorded in the affected polling units.

Quoting INEC’s Standing Rules at the commission’s headquarters in Osogbo, the state capital, Prof Joseph Fowape, said since the margin between the two leading candidates was lower than the registered cancelled votes, the election had to be declared inconclusive.

Which in terms of human relation, charitable kindness, altruistic gifts, little wonder the saying that it does not matter how long one lives on earth rather what matters is the achievement he or she had instituted before going the way of all flesh and mortals. In this context, one person that keeps striking my thoughts is the man whose name will continue to ring a resounding bell in ears within and
