The Peoples Democratic Party has hailed yesterday’s governorship polls in Osun state describing the exercise as peaceful. The party also commended its candidate Senator Iyiola Omisore
The ruling party also hailed the conduct of Osun voters saying it was “a clear testimony to President Goodluck Jonathan’s unparalleled commitment to peaceful elections in Nigeria.”
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh who disclosed this in a statement today also hailed the President for “creating the enabling environment for Osun people to freely and peacefully exercise their franchise without rancor or blood-letting”.
Metuh also commended the security forces for their display of professionalism in keeping the peace throughout the exercise despite provocation by those he described as desperate politicians.
He, however, called on the opposition to learn from the election and desist from actions and utterances that overheat the system and create room for violence.
He said, “The lesson from this election is that the opposition party should stop crying wolf where there is none.
“They must desist from actions and statements that cause confusion and create unnecessary tension, capable of igniting violence and blood-letting in elections.”
Calling on PDP members and supporters to remain calm, the PDP spokesman also “commended the people of Osun for adhering to rules and conducting themselves in an orderly manner during the election.”
