Oyo Guber: Ladoja Files Petition At Tribunal

Oyo State Accord governorship candidate in the April 11 election, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, has filed a petition before the state’s Election Petition Tribunal. He is challenging the re-election of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Abiola Ajimobi. In a statement by the Director-General of his campaign organization, Hon. Adeolu Adeleke, yesterday, Ladoja said he had enough evidence to reclaim his mandate allegedly stolen during the election. He gave his petition’s file number as EPL/IB/GOV/22/2015. The former governor also alleged that some election materials were being burnt in a particular local government to destroy his evidence and that of other Accord candidates. He warned against the alleged act and threatened to “react accordingly by doing the right thing which may make the state to be ungovernable." “Sen Rashidi Ladoja wishes to express his commitment to the use of instrumentality of law to retrieve his stolen mandate as he always does. He also urges the tribunal members to discharge their duty with utmost dedication without any fear or favour as the whole world is watching,” the statement went on.
