A former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, on Wednesday, recalled how he was allegedly robbed of victory in the 2003 governorship election in the state.

Osoba made the revelation at the book launch and 60th birthday of his former Chief Press Secretary, Kayode Odunaro, in Abeokuta on Wednesday. “Nobody expected that the election would go the way it went, but I knew it would go the way it went because Prof Adu of FUNAAB, who was the returning officer, said the figure had already been prepared.

The former governor described the author of the book as a courageous man, who was dedicated to his job as a journalist. The former governor, however, said he disagreed with some aspects of the book, particularly the events that surrounded the 2003 general elections, adding, “Odunaro was just being dodgy; he didn’t want to offend anybody.”

I wonder what Chief was looking at since 2003 and just coming out to tell us that now?

Na una way! Why were you even in communication with the returning officer?

It's high time we allow our election result to be the outcome of what people want.
