“We are miles ahead of the Osun APC plot to rig the August 15 polls. We condemn the Osun APC and its candidate, Mr Oyebamiji for daily plotting to sabotage the August 15 election.
“We are now using this medium to raise the alarm to all Democrats and warn that unless Osun REC wants to burn down Osun state, she should never collaborate with Mr Oyetola and Osun APC to mutilate the voters register.
“We will resist all anti- voters schemes from the people- hating Osun APC. Why is the Osun APC afraid of the people? Why is the APC scared of the rights of Osun people to vote and be voted ?
“We call on the Osun INEC office to shun any clandestine collaboration with Osun APC. Such an anti-people plot, if confirmed, constitutes a major threat to the sanctity and credibility of the forthcoming election.
