Ajayi alleges electoral malpractice

Speaking for the first time since the election, the former Deputy Governor accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of manipulating the electoral process.

He claimed the results did not reflect the will of the people.

“Elections conducted by INEC since the APC assumed power in 2015 have continued in the tradition of hijacking the process and delivering results that are diametrically in contrast with expressed electoral desires,” Ajayi stated.

Ajayi calls for judicial intervention

Ajayi urged the judiciary to uphold its responsibility to ensure justice.

“We particularly call on the Judiciary to brace up and perform the sacred and onerous responsibilities to guarantee the portability of justice to people and institutions that seek it,” he said.

The PDP candidate reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing legal action to challenge the election outcome.

“We reject the results of the Nov 16th election and will take legal actions to reverse the debauchery. "This is the option available to us, and we are hopeful that man and God, who is the ultimate, will give us justice,” Ajayi declared.

Ajayi called for an end to electoral malpractices, emphasizing that Nigeria must eschew criminality from its democratic processes.
