The All Progressives Congress has expressed assurance that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last governorship election in the state, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, would lose at the ongoing election petitions tribunal.
Jegede had filed a petition at the tribunal challenging the results of the October 10 poll, in which Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission. The PDP candidate on Tuesday declared that he would reclaim his mandate at the tribunal and thereby send Akeredolu out of government.
The state Director Media and Publicity of the APC, Mr Steve Otaloro, who reacted to Jegede’s comment, in Akure on Wednesday described it as laughable and a reflection of the embodiment of ignorance on the part of the PDP candidate.
