The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the November 16 Ondo governorship election was the worse conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
PDP in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, said the election fell short of the expectations and requirements of a free, fair and credible election.
INEC declared candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the election.
But PDP stated that the election was characterised by vote buying, and accused the APC of using the apparatus of government to suppress the genuine aspiration of the people.
“This devious practice by the APC was rampant and pervasive because the APC have utterly impoverished Nigerians and turned poverty into a weapon of mass subjugation which enabled it to manipulate the election and its outcome,” PDP said.
The party called on Nigerians and the international community to what it described as reprehensible practice by the APC, and demanded that a serious action be taken to stem such if Nigeria’s democracy must survive.
PDP however said it is conducting detailed review of the election and will “take appropriate action in the defence of our democracy.”
