You Can’t Tell Me My Party Lost Osun, You Are Not INEC – APC Nat’l Chairman Tells Arise TV Presenters

If there is one Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress who is still probably not aware of the latest declaration of Osun state Governorship election, it is the party’s national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

Adamu, the controversial helmsman of the ruling party was on the Sunday edition of Arise TV Morning Show to respond to myriad of questions bothering on the affairs of the party and the Nation at large.

Steve Ayorinde and two other ladies who anchored the program practically grilled the chairman on the state of things in Nigeria and how defection is currently rocking the ruling Party after the conclusion of party’s primaries and emergence of Senator Kashim Shettima as vice presidential candidate.

The first set of questions revolved around the heavy loss APC has just suffered in Osun State where PDP candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke was declared winner of the election.

Adeleke won 17 out of the total local governments in the State.

Asked how his party has been handling the defeat from Osun state and their next line of action, Senator Adamu responded and said he is not aware of the final result of the election yet.

He explained that the results were still being counted and collated as at last night before he went to sleep. And since he woke up this morning, no one has informed him that his party has lost the election. 

He told the Program anchors that they cannot wake up this morning and then be telling him that he lost election in Osun State. Are you the INEC officers deployed to conduct the election?

I haven’t heard from INEC and I can’t comment on what I have not heard. Adamu told them.

And when he was referred to newspapers publication and when exactly the declaration was made, the chairman insisted that he has to wait till he is formally briefed on the outcome.

He demanded that the interview session should be shifted to another topic rather than discussing the subject he is yet to be aware of.
