Following the conduct of the recently concluded Ekiti Governorship election held on June 18, the Segun Oni Campaign Organisation (SOCO) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of deliberately delaying upload of result of the polls on its server in order to perfect the alleged falsified figures of results awarded to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Mr Biodun Oyebanji as the winner.
The Director of Media and Publicity of the Campaign Organisation, Mr Jackson Adebayo exprey this in a statement made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital on Saturday.
Adebayo said as at Saturday July 2, 2022, the INEC summary of local government results on Form EC8C and summary of Ekiti State election results on form EC8D are yet to be uploaded on the server thereby making compilation of materials by the legal team and filing of petition by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Segun Oni to challenge the victory of the APC candidate,Mr Biodun Oyebamiji at the election petition tribunal difficult.
The SOCO’s Spokesman who said so far INEC has uploaded summary of units results on Form EC8A and Ward results on FORM EC8B wondered why the INEC should be afraid to upload the results if not for the reasons of wanting to perfect the falsified figures it has used to rig for the APC perfectly before uploading the results to its server.
Adebayo said this should be investigated because the INEC has no excuse for withholding upload of the results two weeks after the election.
