The All Progressive Congress, APC
has reacted to the purported allegation raised by the Peoples’ Democratic Party,
after losing out the just concluded bye-elections for Lagos East Senatorial
seat.
According to the results
announced by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Abiru polled a
total of 89,204 votes while Babatunde Gbadamosi, his Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) rival, secured 11,257 votes.
The PDP in reaction to the
result, described the Election State as a charade, accusing the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) of allocating votes to the APC.
The APC in response to the
allegation wrote:
The reaction of the Lagos State
chairman of PDP to the humiliating defeat of his party to the recently held
Lagos East Senatorial and Kosofe 2 Lagos State House of Assembly elections can
best be described as a comic relief from the recent pressure and challenges.
It was a referendum on the
spineless and ineffectual opposition that the PDP has been providing in Lagos
State for over two decades.
The age-long disharmony and lack
of coordination in the PDP effectively laid the foundation for the permanent
trouncing of the opposition party in Lagos state.
The impressive performance of the
ruling party , APC, in the determined implementation of its progressive
policies has made PDP a taboo in Lagos state.
It’s a big surprise that the
state chairman could complain about the results of the elections that he was
too busy to campaign for his candidates.
While they were busy conducting
fake personal opinion polls, the ruling APC was reaching out to the voters with
life changing programs, manifestos and policies that are relevant to the
challenges of the day.
However, we emphatize with
Engr Doherty who must still be dazed by
the total annihilation.
The bye-election will go down in
history as one of the best in terms of conduct by INEC, the professionalism of
the security agents and the fact that the results truly reflected the popular
will.

Lagos State APC Spokesman.
