The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, today described the video clip in circulation which revealed some persons allegedly thumb- printing for the candidate of the party at the last governorship election in the state as an afterthought.
Spokesperson to the APC in the state, Kunle Oyatomi in a statement argued that the PDP resorted into producing the video clip so as to move the attention of Nigerians away from the crime it allegedly committed in collaboration with some security agents during the governorship poll in Ekiti State.
According to the statement, "Omisore argued for 180 days at the tribunal and his petition was meticulously dismantled in a landmark judgment that lasted over seven hours by the three-man panel which struck it out as unworthy.
"What would have gone wrong with the PDP chieftain, who had this so-called video clip evidence that he could have presented at the tribunal, but failed to do so.
"Did Omisore seriously think that the Court of Appeal will accommodate this after-thought? The reason that video was not presented to the tribunal in the first instance was because it was fake.
"The APC had gotten wind of the production of the particular video since November last year and had informed security forces accordingly. This move was in part, what prevented the PDP from presenting it at the Tribunal as was their original plan.
"If the PDP lawyers rested the worthless video because it could not fly at the tribunal, what banal reasoning would have informed the PDP spin doctors now making silly noises about it as a publicity material?
"That video is the product of PDP’s sordid imagination to accuse others of what it had been caught pants down doing in Ekiti State. It is a sheer baloney and a valueless attempt to mitigate the effect of the audio evidence of how politicians, government officials and some top uniformed men used the security apparatus of state to rig election for the PDP in Ekiti State."
