Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is yet to congratulate Osun governor-elect Ademola Oyetola.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer defeated Governor Gboyega Oyetola in a keenly contested battle.<\/p>\n

The former Senator won in 17 of the 30 local government areas in the poll conducted in 3,763 units. Adeleke received 403,371 votes while Oyetola got 375,027.<\/p>\n

More than 24 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him the winner, the ruling APC has remained silent.<\/p>\n

Oyetola spoke Sunday afternoon but refused to congratulate his main challenger.<\/p>\n

In a chat with DAILY POST on Monday, an APC chieftain explained that the leaders were studying events.<\/p>\n

The insider who commented anonymously said the party cannot make any pronouncement before its standard bearer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot say anything yet because the governor is yet to speak. What if we reject and the candidate concedes?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if we congratulate and the candidate decides to go to court? Don\u2019t forget that he has a right to seek legal redress.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, as things stand now, we have to wait for his position on the outcome of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reminded that President Muhammadu Buhari already reacted, the source said it was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t compare. The statement by the President is normal, he is the leader of Nigeria. Whether APC wins or loses, he congratulates the winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for the party, it is politics. The party is different from the presidency. We will consider some things before we issue an official position\u201d, the member added.<\/p>\n
