PDP Candidate Oluyede Accuses INEC of Election Sabotage

Dr. Wole Oluyede, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Ekiti State governorship election, expressed frustration over alleged widespread irregularities during the election. He accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies of actions that could undermine the credibility of the election.

Oluyede reported significant delays in the voting process at his polling unit in Ado Ekiti, where voting was scheduled to start at 6:30 AM but did not commence until 9:45 AM. He noted that neither INEC officials nor security personnel provided satisfactory explanations for the delays, leaving voters uncertain.

Oluyede described this situation as part of a broader pattern of intimidation and improper conduct aimed at discouraging voter participation. He warned that the PDP would seek legal redress if these irregularities persisted, emphasizing the need for free, fair, and transparent elections in Ekiti State.

He stated that the party would document incidents of violations and take them to court to protect the mandate of the people.
