The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and its gubernatorial candidate, Adekunle Akinlade in Ogun state has rejected the ongoing election results being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.

Director General of the APM Campaign, Sarafa Ishola spoke alongside Akinlade at the party’s secretariat at Leme, Abeokuta.

Ishola alleged that gubernatorial election which began peacefully on Saturday was allegedly hijacked by hoodlums and “unidentified uniform men” during the collation stage, and further manipulated the results in favour of APC.

He said the APM had petition INEC in the state to investigate the “infractions” and stop announcement of results forthwith.

The DG expressed concerns that despite the complaints the INEC has started announcing the results.

Ishola said the APM rejects the results as being announced, declaring that “it was hijacked, compromised and did not reflect the wishes of Ogun people.”

“The people of Ogun state have been raped”, Akinlade declared, saying he will use all legal means to undo the alleged injustice”.
