PDP candidate rejects Asa/Ilorin-West Federal Constituency result 

The Peoples Democratic Party’s  candidate for Asa/Ilorin-west Federal Constituency, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, has rejected the outcome of 

election into the Asa/Ilorin-west Federal Constituency.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Tolani Shagaya of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.

In a statement issued on Monday, and signed by the Director of Communications of Ajia Campaign Organisation (ACO), Malam Abdulrahman Aliagan, alleged that the election was marred with irregularities, and vowed to contest the election outcome in the court of competent jurisdictions.

“The House of Representatives candidate of PDP for Asa/Ilorin-West Federal Constituency, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia wants to make it categorically clear that the outcome of the election as declared by INEC is marred with irregularities and failed the principles of free, fair, and credible elections as stipulated by the Electoral Acts. 

“Our popular candidate is a victim of widespread electoral fraud and manipulation by INEC in connection with the Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq administration in the state. The election was characterized by widespread irregularities, intimidation, and voter suppression to clear the path for the inglorious victory of the APC in the polls.

“It was crystal clear that the game plan was to overturn the popular wishes of the people of Asa/Ilorin-West Federal Constituency, whose candidate has come out to challenge the maladministration going on in the state. While we thank and appreciate the support of our teaming supporters, we equally want to appeal to them to remain peaceful and calm, we will not relent in pursuing our stolen electoral mandate to the limit of the law through all the constitutional means,” he said.
