 Opposition parties in Ugun state were divided over the outcome of the last Saturday's governorship election won by Governor Dakhbor Abyonu, the Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council of IPAC, Samson Okusoya, at a press conference commanded the Independent National Electoral Commission for the success of the election, describing it as free, fair and credible. Meanwhile, the coalition of registered political parties led by the State Chairman of the New Nigeria People's Party, LNPP Ogini, or LAPOC, rejected Abyonu's declaration by INEC in its entirety, saying it cannot stand, insisting that the body lacks powers to endorse any governorship candidate or validate the outcome of the polls, in the matter which Okusoya led AIPAC did. We commend INEC for early commencement of the voting in majority of the polling units in Ugun states. We also commend INEC for early transmission of the result, or which have helped to validate the integrity of the electoral exercise. We commend INEC for early mobilization of human and material resources to the various polling units in the state, and also for their brilliant performance. The AIPAC, which all of us belong, has no locus or constitutional power to endorse or comment or support any candidate, as far as the constitution of AIPAC is concerned. All of us here at the registered political party, we are legal members of AIPAC, and we are telling you that whatever AIPAC has done without our knowledge is an exercise in futility, and it cannot stand the test of time. It is a criminal act against the constitution of AIPAC, and any governor that is heading and abetting criminal act in our polity must be warned. Again, it therefore called for the suspension of the resident electoral commissioner, Niyi Ijalae, and the rest of the state returning officer, Professor Kayo Di Adebowale, who is the vice chancellor of the University of Ipadong, for committing what they described as a heinous crime against democracy. The Ugun state coalition of registered political parties hereby called for immediate suspension of Ugun state resident electoral commissioner and immediate arrest and prosecution of Professor Kayo Di Adebowale, the vice chancellor of the University of Ipadong, for this heinous crime against democracy. But it's unfortunate that Professor Adebowale made himself an instrument of destruction to our democracy by making an announcement that is contrary to the rule and regulation. And whatever he has done, we know that he cannot stand the test of time.
