Rotimi Rahmon, a House of Representatives aspirant in the 7th October 2018, legislative primaries conducted in Ogun State by the All Progressives Congress National Working Committee panel, has alleged that his mandate given by people of Ado Odo/Ota Federal Constituency, on that day, has been stolen.
Rahmon claimed that he won the House of Representatives ticket on that date by polling 16,410 votes in the primary held at the Ado Odo/Ota, out of the total votes cast of 20,468.
He said he defeated three others contestants in the race namely Sesan Fagbayi, who polled 3,713, Kazeem Aina and Akinpelu Aina, who polled 195 and 150 respectively.
He said he was, however, surprised that the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC later announced the name of Olusola Ojugbele, as the winner of that ticket.
Rahmon alleged that Ojugbele contested on the same date for the senatorial seat of the Ogun West, but never contested for House of Representatives seat.
He said, “The electoral committee sent from Abuja by the National Working Committee monitored and supervised the primary. I won that primary.
“But I was surprised to see the name of someone who contested for a seat in the Senate for Ogun West, Olusola Ojugbele, on the same day, being given my seat and his name has been sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“Comrade Oshiomhole has come out to say some people wanted him to do certain things against his conscience.
“What conscience is he talking about in the stolen mandate at Ado Odo/Ota Federal Constituency? Where is fairness? Where is justice?
