The Association of
Progressive Political Parties (APPPS) in Oyo State has accused the
executive governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi of appointing
inexperienced, bias and incompetent individuals who do not have respect for the
rule of law as members of Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC),
reports ITRealms.
This was contained in
a release signed and made available by APPPS Chairman, Mr. David Akinola,
Secretary, Mr. Tolu Adedoyin and PRO. Mr. Raji Babatunde after the group’s
meeting on last weekend in Oyo State capital, Ibadan.
According to Akinola
who is also the Oyo State Chairman of Peoples for Democratic Change (PDC)
“OYSIEC are not sincere in conducting local government elections in all the 33
local government areas (LGAs) and 35 newly created local council
development areas (LCDAs) that will be constitutional, democratic, credible,
free and acceptable by other political parties and Oyo State
citizens.
Also the Oyo State
Chairman of the African Peoples Alliance Party (APA) who is also the state
Secretary of APPPS, Mr. Tolu Adedoyin described the promise made by Mr. Jide
Ajeigbe, OYSIEC Chairman during a press conference as “pathological lies.”
Mr. Raji Babatunde,
the spokesperson of the association said “From the outcome of the OYSIEC
meeting we attended on Wednesday, we were fully briefed that OYSIEC are
not ready to conduct free, fair and credible elections.”
Till date, he said,
they have not been given any election materials, stressing that they don’t know
the units and wards of the newly created LCDAs.
“As I’m talking to you
our association believed with fact and figures that the result of the proposed
local government elections has been collated and ready to be released on the
date of the election. APC are looking for participation of more parties as to
perfect their rigging plans. We won’t be surprise at the end of the whole
election exercise if APC clears all the seats,” he said.
