As the final collation of results across the local governments is ongoing, the Oyo state chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress has submitted a petition against the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate Seyi Makinde to the electoral umpire, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The APC petition accused
Makinde of what it described as “breach of electoral laws” and thereby
demanded for his immediate arrest and prosecution.

The petition
addressed to the Oyo State Resident Electoral Commissioner and entitled
“Petition Against Engr. Seyi Makinde on Electoral offences committed in
breach of electoral laws “, was submitted to the Agodi office of the
commission on Sunday.

According to the petition, Makinde was
accused of releasing a video in the early hours of Sunday where the PDP
candidate “pointedly proclaimed himself winner of the governorship
election in Oyo state when INEC, the authorised umpire has not concluded
same nor declared any such results.”

The petition signed by the
APC state secretary, Mr. Mojeed Olaoya, said Makinde by the action is
clearly inciting the citizenry against an eventual credible outcome of
the elections.
