The Forum of Lagos State PDP Local Government Chairmen has vowed to challenge the outcome of Saturday’s council elections in court, alleging subversion of public will.
Chief Adegboyega Adegbesan, Forum Chairman and PDP leader in Oshodi-Isolo LGA, disclosed this during a joint press conference on Tuesday in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event held at the PDP Secretariat in Lagos Mainland LGA and attended by party chairmen and state chieftains.
“What occurred on Saturday was no election. It was a charade and a criminal conspiracy against the people’s sovereign will,” Adegbesan said.
He declared that the PDP would not recognise the “fraudulent election” or its “alleged winners”, describing the process as deeply compromised and undemocratic.
Adegbesan added that the PDP had compiled video recordings, testimonies, and evidence of irregularities to legally challenge the election and retrieve its stolen mandate.
He accused the APC-led government and Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) of colluding to rig the elections through orchestrated violence and manipulation.
