The Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo, stated this on Tuesday while addressing a press conference to thank the people for voting for the party’s candidate.
Fanwo said any of the contestants who feel aggrieved is free to approach the court and the party would meet them there.
He said that the party will be waiting for anyone who thinks otherwise to head to court with their lawyers whose qualifications have been questioned by the Supreme Court.
“Their immediate experience where the Supreme Court questioned his knowledge of the law will be child’s play as we have enough evidence to prove that the candidate of the Social Democratic Party didn’t score as much as was recorded for him at gunpoint. We will be ready for any litigation”, Fanwo said.
Fanwo who is also the state Commissioner for Information, however, vowed that the party will pursue justice for one of its members shot during the election, adding that this would be done after gathering enough evidence of what transpired that day.
“We salute our party members, especially in Kogi East, where our opponents deployed thugs to deprive our members of their franchise. A member of our party was gunned down in Anyigba for standing his ground to choose the Kogi Agenda over the sectional and divisive agenda of a candidate who had no interest in the state at heart. Yet they went out with the evil narrative of ballot box snatching without providing proof.
“Every vote we secured in Kogi East represents hundreds of voters who were harassed, injured and even had their houses burnt for their political beliefs,” he said.
He added, “Those who waged terrorism on our democracy out of desperation to make the impossible possible are today moving from one TV Station to another to cry foul and create a contrary impression when unbiased observers from far and wide have described the election as the freest and most peaceful since the creation of Kogi State.”
This, he said is the height of desperation to distract attention from the heist they committed.
