The announcement was made few hours after Babatunde Gbadamosi condemned the results released by INEC in the Saturday exercise, describing it as “manipulated”.
He said;
The election was manipulated and I was clearly rigged out.
However, he made the claim before the electoral body announced the full results of the election, where Abiru floored the PDP candidate.
