The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ondo state governorship election, Agboola Ajayi has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of compromising Saturday’s election in the state.
Ajayi who spoke with newsmen shortly after voting at about 10:40 am in his polling unit 004, Apoi ward 2, Idumado Quarters, Kiribo Ese-Odo LGA, said the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Professor Mahmood Yakubu has failed the people of the state and should resign from office.
The candidate who had a hectic time before being accredited by the BVAS machine, said reports from across the state suggested that the electoral umpire connived with the ruling party to frustrate the election.
He also raised concerns over the high level of security deployment to his community, saying that the presence of a combined team of police, military and DSS operatives was not in the interest of the people.
Ajayi said, ” The system is not perfect, things are not working and it took more than 10 minutes before the BVAS could accredit me as the candidate of the PDP. There are lots of complaints here and there across the state.
“If INEC cannot successfully organize election in just one state, then you must know that we are running into anarchy in Nigeria.
“I have been getting reports across the state and it is the same, including me, I am a victim here in my unit and I want to say it is deliberate on the part of the REC and the INEC and don’t forget we have said earlier that we don’t trust Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola who is the REC; she can’t be fair.
