Osun Rerun: Timi Frank Urges Electorate to Thwart APC’s Rigging Plot Through Vigilance

"The APC has shamelessly continued its fraudulent vote buying activities  ahead of the elections by offering potential voters who agree to cast their ballot for the APC N50,000 each" .... Timi Frank Says.

The Osun Re-run election has continued to dominate public discourse as many have expressed concerns following the declaration of the earlier conducted elections as "inconclusive", on the 22nd of September.

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has raised the alarm over the plot of the APC to outrightly rig the Osun governorship rerun elections in favour of its candidate.



Frank in a statement in Abuja a few hours ago called on the people of Osun to be vigilant in order to thwart the desperate plot of the APC to cling to power in the state against the demonstrated resolve of the people to vote them out over their uncaring, poor, dictatorial and wicked governance style.

He also called on both the local and international observers in the state, including the security agencies, to ensure that their presence is not used to rubber stamp the illegality being plotted by the APC to fraudulently allocation of votes to itself.

Frank said: “We have reliable information that truckloads of persons from neighbouring states have arrived the seven polling units where rerun elections will be conducted a few hours from now courtesy of the APC.

“Apart from APC’s plan to use the mercenaries to rig the elections through the use of incident forms as they cannot be verified though the card readers, we have reliable information that they have already commenced voting in designated secret locations  in the state tonight in order to boost their chances when the actual voting kickstarts tomorrow.

“The people of Osun, especially those in the affected areas must of necessity ensure that the registered voters in the affected polling units and the actual voters that have collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) are transparency verified before the election commences to checkmate the plot to allocate votes the APC from Imaginary voters.”

He stated that it is an open secret that of the over 3000 registered voters in the affected polling units, only 2400 have collected their PVCs while only 50 per cent of voters representing about 1200 persons are expected to turn out for actual voting as witnessed in previous elections across the country.

He insisted that any variation from this established pattern of voting must be rejected by the people.

He added that the expressed wish of the people to vote out the APC as demonstrated last Saturday can only be realized if they remain vigilant and resist any attempt by the APC to manipulate the voting process tomorrow.

He also said that the APC has shamelessly continued its fraudulent vote buying activities  ahead of the elections by offering potential voters who agree to cast their ballot for the APC N50,000 each.

He urged the people not to be swayed from their resolve to liberate the state from incompetent governance by the sheer amount of money rolled into the state to buy their votes and endanger their future of their children’s children.
