National leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, on Sunday kept mute over the outcome of the Osun governorship election which was won by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
This is coming as Nigerians took to the social media to mock the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu saying, it was himself and his party that laboured in vain in Osun state.
Tinubu is originally an indigene of Osun state.
Messages sent to the APC national leadership by several journalists for their reaction to the outcome of the Osun governorship election did not elicit any response from the ruling party despite the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari has already congratulated the PDP candidate.
Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP famed as the dancing senator over his dancing prowess won the Osun State governorship election conducted on Saturday.
He defeated the incumbent, Gboyega Oyetola of the APC by 403371 votes to the 375,027 votes won by the APC.
Tinubu at the APC mega rally for the reelection of APC gubernatorial candidate, Adegboyega Oyetola on Tuesday, said “they said some are in Labour, they will remain labourers till death”.
However, after the declaration of Adeleke as the winner of the election, social media users have now turned to mocking the APC for labouring in vain in Osun state.
See reactions gathered: @iamchiemezie: So who’s laboring in vain now in Osun? The universe will demystify all men that have assumed the position of gods in our society.
@chukwumaoliver2: How come Bola Ahmed Tinubu laboured in vain in Osun State? Was it because of his bad mouth of Nigerian labourers Labouring till their death? Well, this is just the beginning of the electoral tsunami of 2023. Tinubu’s case will never be helped by the wrong choice of running mate.
@collins_elue: Nigerians aren’t as stupid as deemed. Osun just voted for the individual despite all manner of enticement and “structure” by the APC. Stories of 17k enticement, use of police and INEC collusion. APC has lost another western state. Nigerians lokan. Nigeria may yet be savaged.
@deroyz2: Even the INEC don tire for APC after all who chop agbado and corn
“OSUN just said NO to Agbado president chief commander of corn and cassava bat of lagos lol Bob Chicago we will send you back to Chicago come 2023.”
