The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has said the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, will face disgrace at the election petition tribunal.
The party said the PDP was manufacturing false information in order to discredit the August 9 election which produced Governor Rauf Aregbesola as the winner.
The party in a statement issued by its Director of Publicity, Strategy and Research, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, therefore, urged the people of the state not to believe the lies being peddled by the PDP, saying the PDP was incapable of telling the truth.
The APC said this while reacting to the suspension of two electoral officers by the Independent National Electoral Commission over alleged electoral malpractice.
The PDP had said the suspended officials helped in manipulating the outcome of the election in favour of Aregbesola.
However, the APC said, The PDP and its leadership will continue to suffer defeat and disgrace in the state for as long as it continues to propagate deceit and lies about goings-on in the state of the virtuous.
The PDP has again suffered the shame of being exposed as habitual liars in their mean attitude to political engagement in the State of Osun. The PDPs obsession to weave a structure of lies to support its baseless case at the tribunal has led the opposition party to clutching at straws and fabricating stories to give a semblance of validity to the tissue of lies that are behind its bogus case against Senator Iyiola Omisores defeat at the August 9 governorship election.
Cases at election tribunals can only stand on the basis of fact and credible figures, not on fabrication and lies that have become the habit of the PDP. That the current lie of the PDP against the APC and INEC has been exposed is an ominous precursor to the imminent defeat of the party again at the tribunal.
The APC, however, called on INEC to carry out a thorough investigation and prosecute the errant officials.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan, has said the suspension of the INEC officials was a confirmation that the election was rigged to favour the APC.

Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has finally said he will contest for the position of the President in 2015 on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress.
He said he would be making the public declaration on Wednesday, September 24.
This was contained in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Mallam Garba Shenu, in Abuja on Friday morning.
He said, The Turaki Adamawa will contest for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress, in the 2015 presidential elections.
The former Vice President will be making the declaration on Wednesday, September 24.
He said that the campaign will be anchored by someone he described as a veteran of successful presidential contests and a former Minister, Prof. Babalola Borisade.
Borisade, he said, is also a well-known political strategist who worked for the victory of the late General Shehu Musa YarAdua and thereafter, late Chief M. K. O. Abiola on the platform of the defunct Social Democratic Party.
He said Borisade also worked as the strategist for President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003 elections, both of which were won resoundingly.
This is not about me, it is about our young people. It is about Nigerians. It is their future, not the past. It is about reforming government, securing the people and reconciling the nation, Atiku was quoted as saying.

In 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture scrapped the Food Pyramid that it had promoted for nearly two decades. Split into six sections, the Food Pyramid rested on a hefty load of complex carbohydrates: 611 servings of bread, cereal, rice, and pasta.
Oof.
Whatever else one may say of it, the Food Pyramid was clear, specific, and so simple that even a child could understand it. But there was just one problem: Americans were getting fatter. Increasingly, nutritionists blamed the carbs.
So out went the Food Pyramid, and in came MyPlate, a guide whose visual recommendations are so vague that anyone not deeply connected to the ongoing nutritional debate might have a hard time saying why it even exists or what it is trying to accomplish. Still, at least it doesnt recommend the massive daily doses of pasta.
Americans, being the good, obedient souls that they are, promptly started losing weight.
GOVERNMENT-CENTRIC THINKING At least thats the story told here in Washington, where all the right-thinking folks hold that every good outcome has a federal explanation. Here, it was the quite possibly improved federal nutrition guidelines, along with first lady Michelle Obamas advocacy against childhood obesity.
If the citizens are happy, then surely a bureaucrat is behind it, and its only a question of figuring out which one to thank. If they are sad, well, in this town, thats just another word for opportunity.
Whatever our ideology, we all grew up playing governmentality games.
A more sensible take on obesity, of course, would be to note that no trend continues forever, not even American fatness. Reversion to the mean, while it hasnt quite happened yet, ought never to surprise. Every trend continues until it cant anymore. None go on forever.
MyPlate serves as a good example of the sort of thinking I like to call SimCity progressivism. On this view, the governments purpose is not necessarily to provide any particular goods or services, and not even (or only) the ones found in the Constitution.
