Na the party National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye sign the statment.
1. The outcome of the November 26, 2016
Gubernatorial Election in Ondo State as declared by Professor Abdul-Ganiyu
Ambali, the Chief Returning Officer of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) is a charade and not the true reflection of the will of the
people of Ondo State.

2. INEC has however graduated from
Inconclusive Elections as seen in Kogi, Bayelsa, Osun, FCT, Imo, Nassarawa and
some other previous By-Elections in the Country to ‘Advanced Election Rigging’,
as in the case of Edo and Ondo States Gubernatorial Elections.

3. It is common knowledge that the APC
Agents openly bought votes of the electorates in the full glare of security
operatives who did nothing to prevent such dastardly violation of the Electoral
Law. It is not surprising that the electorates in Ondo state became so
vulnerable to the corruptive influence of the APC because of the hash economic
situation in the Country inflicted on Nigerians by the APC Administration which
have indeed made all Nigerians virtually beggars in their own Country.

4. Nigerians will recall that we had
persistently called for the postponement of the Election before Saturday,
for at least two weeks to enable our Party Campaign and prepare properly for
this Election as a result of the setback orchestrated by Justice Okon Abang and
the charlatans in PDP who allowed themselves to be used by the APC to destroy
our chances in the Ondo State Election.

5. The actions of INEC in collaboration
with the APC led Administration left us no time to campaign and sell our
Candidate and Party Manifesto to the electorates in Ondo State. Our persistent
call for the postponement of the Election which was backed and supported by
more than 20 other political parties were all rejected by INEC which were
acting the script of the APC. It was a carefully planned and well orchestrated
strategy to rig the Election well in advance by preventing the PDP from
planning and campaigning for the Election. The APC has hereby introduced a new
formula of rigging Election in Nigeria.

6. In view of the fact that the
Election was blatantly manipulated from the beginning to the end to favour the
APC, we vehemently reject the results of the November 26, 2016 Gubernatorial
Election in Ondo State. The Election and all actions leading to it fall short
of laid down principles guiding conduct of elections in Nigeria. We have
instructed our Candidate and the Ondo State Chapter of our Party to proceed to
the Tribunal to challenge the Outcome of the Election. We call on the Judiciary
to redeem Nigeria’s image on this matter as we request for the Total
Cancellation of the Election in Ondo State.

7. Finally, we congratulate our
Candidate, Hon. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, and our Party in the State for the gallant
performance at the Poll, despite the severe injuries inflicted on us before,
during and after the Election. We call on all our members and teeming
supporters nationwide and Ondo State in particular to remain calm and continue
to work with the leadership of the Party to move the PDP forward.
