Ayo Akinola, a former aide to the immediate past governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, speaks with OLUWOLE IGE on the recent judgment of the election petition tribunal on the governorship election in the state. We actually started operation in Lagos State under a different nomenclature during the administration of former Governor Raji Fashola. The September 2018 election which you refer to here was won squarely by the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite what happened. The level of rigging and vote-buying by the opposition during the governorship election of September 2018 was legendary and horrifying. During the campaigns, Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the APC team played it fair and saw no reason to induce voters because the people were solidly behind them.
