PDP said nothing can upturn the will of Osun people
By Ishaya Ibrahim, News Editor
Even as the result of the Osun State governorship election which held on Saturday is yet to be officially declared by the Independent National Electional Commission (INEC), the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has already claimed victory and celebrating.
In a series of tweets midnight Saturday, the party through its verified Twitter handle @OfficialPDPNig accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of rushing to Abuja in a desperate bid to influence the outcome of the poll.
Tinubu travelled to Abuja on Saturday as the results started trickling in.
The opposition party, however, said nothing can upturn the will of the people.
The PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke, has been projected by TheNiche to defeat the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, a member of the APC.
PDP wrote on Twitter: “The @OfficialPDPNig counsels the unsettled Presidential Candidate of the @OfficialAPCNg @officialABAT to know that rushing to Abuja in the face of the defeat of his party, the APC in the Osun State Governorship election cannot overturn the Will of the people at the poll.
“Our Party is already aware that @OfficialAPCNg leaders are rushing to Abuja in a desperate move to manipulate the process and frustrate the smooth conclusion of the election, having realized that the @OfficialAPCNg has been rejected by the people.
“@officialABAT must know that the people of Osun State have spoken and that his running to Abuja cannot save the deflated Governor @GboyegaOyetola from the reverberating verdict of the ballot box.

“Our Party charges the @inecnigeria and the @OfficialAPCNg leadership in Abuja to note that the course of the election is already known to all and that the people of Osun State will never accept any outcome to the contrary.
“The @OfficialPDPNig charges @inecnigeria to resist the manipulations and pressure from the @OfficialAPCNg by sticking to its assurance to the people that the election will be transparent and conclusive at the first ballot.
“The @OfficialPDPNig congratulates the people of Osun State and urges them to remain at alert, protect their votes and ensure that the results declared at the polling centers are not altered but duly reflected at the collation and final declaration.
“We also congratulate all democratic institutions, stakeholders and all patriots who stood by the people to achieve this great shift.”
