The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the Osun governorship election inconclusive on Sunday, Naija News recalls.

INEC said that the difference between the two leading parties, APC and PDP, was less than the total number of votes cancelled hence a rerun was fixed for Thursday, Sept. 27.

NO election is perfect, anywhere in the world. The Osun State gubernatorial election which took place last Saturday, 22nd September 2018, was no exception. But sion-soaked.

The PDP, after final collation in Osun led its closest challenger, APC, by 353 votes while 3,498 votes were cancelled.

The cleric said “2019 is a few months away; care must be taken to avoid issues that may reduce Nigeria’s image and our capability to conduct free and fair polls in the international community.

“There are international observers and some of them are beginning to talk, we must not turn our election process into a laughing stock as it may make or mar our image.”We beg Senator Adeleke and Oyetola to take the result in good faith, no matter the outcome of the result, they should see it as the voice of the people.
