We members of Kwara South A.P.C. and the good people of Kwara South wish to commend the people of Offa Local Government Area for their steadfastness as true Progressives and a shining example to all the remaining six Local Governemnt in Kwara South.

We sympathize with them on the brazen daylight robbery with arrogance and impunity of their well deserved victory at the Local Government poll, we therefore in line with all others reject the result of Offa Local Government rerun election announced by the Chairman of KWSEIC who in the first instance is not constitutionally empowered to announce the result. We hereby call on all Security Agencies to please call the runaway Offa Local Government Returning Officer to come and officially announce the result as generated, collated and signed by all 12 Wards of Offa Local Government polling agents and security officers at the polling centres and the Wards.

We believe that the P.D.P in the state blatantly commit this  electoral fraud to prove a point that their ‘leader’ is still in control of the political superiority in Kwara State to enable him negotiate in the new party which he wants to go. We want to use this opportunity to tell the whole world that the P.D.P, its so called “leader” and Government of Kwara State has been totally rejected by the good people of Kwara South  and that they can only manipulate their way with only the corrupt ridden State Electoral Commission headed by a personality like Ajidagba who is a disgrace to the highly esteemed academic class and that very soon in 2015 they would see the futility and exposure of their phantom victory as exposed by the denial of his victory by one of the councilor who was declared a winner.

We also believe that they have resulted to this daylight robbery to intimidate the good people of Kwara South and cause disillusionment and submission in order not to approach the incoming Local Government Election with all seriousness. We urge our people of Kwara South not to be intimidated nor be discouraged because useful lessons have been learnt and the lesson shall serve as a guide towards the preparation for other election in the State.

We want to assure the good people of Offa that this stolen mandate will be restored in due time and the six Local Governments will compliment their victory with electoral success. We the remaining six Local Governments do promise to stand by the people of Offa through their trying times.

We also call on the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the Nigeria Union of Journalist (NUJ) and the Nigeria Guild of Editors to investigate the role of Radio Kwara in the announcement of the illegal result. We therefore call on Radio Kwara to announce the Ward by Ward result as collated by the Returning Officer which ought to form the basis of a credible result.

We hereby express our strong lack of confidence in the KWASEIC led by Dr. Ajidagba and that he can not conduct any free and fair elections.

APC Chieftain Kwara South
