THE Lagos PDP candidate in the just-concluded National Assembly election, Mr Segun Adewale, popularly known as Aeroland, has rejected the result of the election while appealing to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to consider his petition against the collated results in the Lagos West Senatorial District.
Media reports state that Aeroland made this known in a joint press conference along with Mr Wale Gomez, PDP’s candidate for the Lagos Central Senatorial District. According to them, they didn’t lose the elections, going by the results obtained by their agents from each of the polling units in their district.
Recall that the candidate of the APC, Idiat Adebule, has already been declared the winner of the polls.

Adewale, also a former Lagos State PDP Chairman, alleged that most of the results were altered at various levels of collations, adding that he was coasting home the victory in Alimosho, Agege, Ojo, and Badagry local government areas before the results were allegedly changed through the back door.
He said that the party had all the results from various polling units as declared by the polling officials and those collated by the party agents.
“We have these results intact. What we discovered was that the results were unnecessarily delayed to give room for manipulation. How can we lose an election that we have won convincingly at the polling units?
“I, therefore, appeal to the INEC REC (Resident Electoral Commissioner) to go through our petition. We have sent our petition and he should go through it,” he said.
According to him, all entreaty to collation officers at various levels of collations to fact-check the results with BVAS (Bimodal Voter Accreditation System) proved abortive.
Adewale also alleged that political thugs also disrupted the collation at Ojo LGA where he was also coasting home the victory.
