The Peoples Democratic Party Governorship candidate in Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies of compromising the election held on Saturday, 16 November, 2024 and urged the Chairman of INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to resign.
Agboola expressed displeasure at the conduct of the election in Kiribo, Ese-Odo LGA.
Ajayi was accredited and cast his vote at 10:45 a.m., at Unit 4, Ward 2 Idumado in Kiribo, Ese-Odo LGA.
The PDP governorship candidate said it took more than 10 minutes for the INEC BVAS to capture him.
“The system is not perfect and there are lots of complainants here and there.
“If INEC cannot successfully organise an election in just one state, then you must know that we are running into anarchy.
“I think it is deliberate on the part of INEC, on the part of the Resident Electoral Commission (REC).
“And we have said several times that we don’t trust Oluwatoyin Babalola (REC). That this woman cannot be fair.
“The system is compromised and we have a series of calls made by everybody. People are complaining about vote buying, the BVAS problem. It is a very shameful exercise,” he said.
Agboola also called for the resignation of INEC chairman, Yakubu.
“And I think people should call on the INEC chairman to resign if he cannot do the job. He should just resign.
“It is totally compromised. This is sad and Nigerians are not happy. Here, it is peaceful to some extent,” he said.
