Title: Osun Judgment a Blow to Election Riggers Says Action Congress of Nigeria
Post by: sparrow on Nov 27, 2010, 03:01 PM
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday said the judgment of the Court of Appeal on the Osun 2007 governorship election has struck a final, deadly blow against election riggers.

In a statement issued in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary Alhaji Lai Mohammed the party said its victory is particularly a sweet music for all democrats, who have continued to fight to wrest Nigeria from the deadly cabal of election riggers, who have made Osun state their base.

''Osun, under the grip of the electoral marauders, became a euphemism for election rigging with bravado. Even with a questionable mandate, they carried on as if they were indeed elected by the people of the state. Osun lost more people to the 2007 elections than any other state. Dislodging the marauders, therefore, is a succour of sorts to the families of those who were killed in the process of what will rank among the worst cases of electoral brigandage in our country's history.
