Starting from 1am this morning not less than 150 of my party members have been harassed, threatened, bastardised. Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of my state was manhandled and maltreated. When you have such a discriminatory attitude such action in a democracy, this is a bastardised democracy. Let is be known that we are under the siege of gun. “Having said this about the run up to the election, I must not fail to recognise the smooth nature of the process in my polling g centre, the people received us enthusiastically and in a very orderly manner which was void of any crisis. What I witnessed when I visited the polling centre was commendable. My hope is that what happened when I visited this polling unit is the experience state wide. It is my hope that if this is the case, we will sing a good song of the strength of democracy. “The strength of the people in a democracy is to freely, fairly and transparently choose whoever is most appropriate to govern them, by their own judgement. “We expect that the enthusiasm of our people is sufficient to douse the exuberance of the over zealous miscreants”.

Anyway,we at the Labour Party know that both the APC and the PDP are already seeing defeat that is why they are dropping Akinbade’s name all over the place but they have failed! The people of our dear state are wiser and have rejected the APC and the PDP. It is Labour Party they want. “Akinbade has said it severally that he would never step down for anybody because it is him the people of the state want. “He is in the race to win and not just to partake like the olympians. So disregard all rumours from the APC and the PDP. “If Aregbesola and Omisore are threatened by Akinbade’s profile,they should just withdraw from the race to save their face. It is never too late!” 16:58 @pmnewsnigeria is reporting that former governor of Osun State, Isiaka Adeleke, could not vote as he fled from his home to avoid being arrested by security operatives.
