Allegations and counter allegations of romance with electoral officers and the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Oyo state was central in the remarks of representatives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a stakeholders meeting organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday. Adeniran ruled out any romance with the PDP, noting that it relied heavily on the votes of residents of Oyo state. Responding, Oyo REC, Agboke, said he did not know of any Muraina who was his colleague at law school, neither was any of the candidates across the state his colleague. He further vouched for his electoral officers as credible, noting that allegations should not be based on hearsays but evidence. While assuring that the commission constantly monitored and reprimanded erring electoral officers, Agboke tasked the APC to substantiate its allegations.
