July 20, (THEWILL) – Nigeria’s electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reacted to the allegation levelled against it by David Adeleke, also known as Davido.
The music act had made allegations on his Twitter handle on Tuesday.
The singer, who is the nephew of the governor-elect, asked why INEC had not presented his uncle with his certificate, 48 hours after the election.
Adeleke, who contested the July 16 election on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, polled 403,371 votes to defeat the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who scored 375,027 votes and 13 other candidates.
Obviously afraid that INEC could subvert the will of the people, Davido wrote: “48hrs after @AAdeleke_01 victory at the Osun Gubernatorial elections, we are yet to receive our certificate.
“@inecnigeria, should we send you fuel money LOL.
“Please no one should tamper with the will of the Osun People!
“Issue the certificate as required by Law!”, he stated.
Without specifically mentioning the musician’s name, the commission, in its response, urged those questioning its will to do the needful on the Osun poll to and get familiar with the Electoral Act.
