The APC said its leadership was examining the results with a view to exploring the constitutional window available to challenge issues arising from the electoral process.

“We are currently studying the results of the governorship election in each of the 332 wards across the state with a view to exploring further the allowed constitutional window of opportunity in this regard,” the statement said.

The party noted that the electoral process extended beyond the declaration of results, stressing that legal avenues remained available to parties dissatisfied with aspects of an election.

“We are not unaware of the fact that election is a process which begins at the registration of voters through the primary election to the election proper, which extends to the Tribunal, the Appeal Court and terminates at the Supreme Court,” it said.

The APC said an election could not be regarded as concluded without parties having the opportunity to use constitutionally permitted legal mechanisms to address alleged irregularities.

“An election cannot be said to have been concluded without having explored all these constitutionally allowed legal opportunities to correct anomalies observed in the process of the election as enshrined in the Electoral Act 2026 as amended,” the party stated.

It commended its members and supporters for their commitment during the electoral process, adding that their contributions had brought the party to an important stage in the political history of Osun State.

The APC said it remained committed to the rule of law, fairness and justice, adding that it would consult its legal team before deciding whether to pursue further action under the Electoral Act.

“We shall not hesitate without further delay to explore the window allowed by the extant Electoral Act after due consultation with the team of our lawyers based on their professional advice,” the party said.

The party also urged its members and supporters to remain calm and avoid responding to provocative actions by supporters of the ruling party, while appealing to the Nigeria Police Force to protect APC members who it alleged were being molested.

“We are assuring them that we won’t have any cause or reason to abandon them. The current political situation is a passing phase which will soon become part of history as justice shall be done accordingly,” it concluded.

DAILY POST recalls that Adeleke after his declaration as the winner of the recently concluded Osun State governorship election, endorsed Tinubu for 2027.

Reacting, the activist said, “Governor Adeleke has endorsed the failed Tinubu presidency to continue its mission of destroying Nigeria beyond 2027.

“At the end of the day, the Adelekes and the Tinubus are looking out for their own personal and political interests, watching each other’s backs, protecting their political fortunes, and safeguarding their loot.

“I feel sorry for the nearly 50 people whose lives were wasted in election violence before and during the polls so that these corrupt political families could prove how much they love and protect one another.”

This came after the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, was declared winner of the polls by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

DAILY POST reports that INEC won the election after beating his closest rival, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC Bola Oyebamiji.

Adeleke won in 19 Local Government Areas with 511,067 votes against his opponent, Oyebamiji who won in 11 Local Government Areas with 444,815 votes.

Reacting, Utomi said, “Nigeria we hail thee. So the people triumphed in the state of Osun.

“Like in Kano in years before, the people proved that their will can triumph over the forces of rigging.

“Massive turn out and a fighting spirit can save democracy. On to 2027 in confidence,” he wrote.
