He was declared winner of the election by Independent Electoral
Commission of Kwara State (KWASIEC) in Saturday’s rerun election.
But Mr Olawole has confessed that he lost to Mr Adefioye Kayode, candidate of the APC:
Speaking during a media briefing in Offa on Wednesday, Mr Olawole said
he rejected his victory based on his religious belief of not cheating.
He added that his stand was also to ensure that his community did not
witness violence and retrogression. He stated that he was not influenced
by anybody.
Also one of the presiding officers, Oyetunji Akin said the APC won in
the councillorship and chairmanship elections in Shaw Central ward
where he presided, contrary to the announced results.
KWASIEC had announced that PDP won the ward, but according to the
presiding officer, Mr Oyetunji Akin, APC polled 1,213 to defeat the PDP
he said had 568.
