OSOGBO—All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has denied that its candidate at the August 9, 2014 governorship election, Governor Rauf Aregbesola has asked the Election Tribunal sitting in Osogbo for a re-run of the contest he was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.
The party was reacting to a newspaper report (not Vanguard) published on Monday, October 20, 2014, which stated that Aregbesola filed a prayer for re-run of the election, if the Tribunal upheld Omisore’s application at the tribunal.
According to the APC, there was only one prayer made by Aregbesola which is, “Whereof in all the forgoing premises, among others, the 2nd Respondent denies in their entirety all the prayers of the petitioners as set out in all of paragraph 59 (i-v) on pages 174 and 175 of the petition and will urge the Tribunal to dismiss the petition with substantial costs for being unmeritorious, frivolous, vexatious, ill-conceived and an abuse of court process.”
