The whole process was manipulated by the powers that be. Is that democracy? Thank God it’s going to be one man, one.”

Meanwhile, supporters of the APC candidate, Okanlawon, told the SDP candidate that winning an election is beyond the plastering of posters.

Salami Oluwaseun said, “I wish him good luck, but winning an election is beyond pasting posters. A serious candidate ought to build a formidable structure to confront the ruling party, not by the hide-and-seek method practiced by the candidate and his followers. The APC remains stronger and more reliable in Kosofe Constituency 1.”

Does SDP have the required structure to clinch the position? Bad bellies brought about SD-APC in our Kosofe. All the same, APC must not slumber because a larger percentage of his followers are APC internal double-face members with alloyed loyalty. Stomach infrastructure lured them to his camp. Wishing him and his fellow travelers good luck on their journey.”
