Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbesola has
described the action of Uche Secondus and his party members as they stormed
INEC office today as uncalled for and referred to them as mentally unstable.
Aregbesola said this about the Peoples
Democratic Party stalwart during his visit to the Presidency with the
governor-elect, Gboyega Isiaka as he officially presented him to Muhammed
Buhari.
Earlier today, the national chairman of Peoples
Democratic Party, Uche Secondus alongside his members stormed INEC office today
and asked the electoral commission to declare Ademola Adeleke as
the winner of the Osun election.
PDP leaders
including Senate President Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and the national chairman of the party, Uche
Secondus, led the protesters to the headquarter of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
The leaders of the party PDP were seen in a
lorry with an inscription Justice. Despite being followed by different exotic
cars in their convoy, the top politicians chose to ride on the lorry with T-shirts
that bears various inscriptions. The protesters claimed that the Nigeria Police
and INEC are arms of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Also among
the protesters are Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State; former Niger State
Governor and presidential aspirant Sule Lamido; former Kano Governor and
presidential aspirant Rabiu Kwankwaso, Senator Dino Melaye, Senator Ben
Murray-Bruce, and others.
The
protesters after the protest at INEC headquarters also headed to Police
headquarters in Abuja.
However, a
barricade was formed by police officers who also dispersed the
protesters with tear gas.
