"Stop Being Mischievous, Most Voided Ballot Papers Were For Us"-Osun PDP Tells Oyetola

Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has disputed the claim by the newly sworn in governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola that a large chunk of ballot papers wrongfully voided during the last governorship election belonged to the All Progressive Congress's candidate.  Reacting to the claim made by Oyetola in a television interview shortly after his widely-shunned inauguration, the chairman of the PDP in Osun state, Hon Soji Adagunodo said over 70% of a total of 47,800 ballot papers which were wrongfully  voided by the INEC during the last elections were valid votes of the PDP.  Adagunodo said this was discovered during the forensic analysis carried out by experts engaged by the PDP on all ballot papers used for the September 22nd and 27th governorship election.  He therefore described as mischievous the claim by Oyetola that he won the Osun governorship election which had been described by National and international observer groups as fraudulent and unsustain
