“We want to assert that Ademola Adeleke has won this election overwhelmingly going by results at our disposal.
“We warn against any plot by some agents of chaos to doctor the results. We specifically call on the Electoral commission to watch fifth columnists within its fold, who may have been contracted for the hatchet job.
“Osun people have decided and their votes must be respected”, the statement noted.
The party specifically called the attention of the commission to a paid agent of the state government, who is presently working round the clock to tamper with the results, vowing that any attempt to subvert the will of Osun people will be strongly resisted.
