Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Saturday’s Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election, Hon. Olatunji Adewale, popularly known as Murphy, is in an early lead as against fake results being shared on social media platforms that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Folajimi Oyekunle, popularly known as DoN, is leading.

As the collation at the ward levels begins, the APC candidate is ahead of the PDP even as the PDP candidate puts up a good showing in some areas.

A statement by the Campaign Council Committee for the APC candidate urged residents of the federal constituency not to be misled by the antics of the PDP and its candidate.

The statement urged people in the federal constituency to wait for the official final result of the election and not to be confused by fake results being circulated on social media by PDP.

“Our attention has been drawn to a fake result currently in circulation by PDP and its candidate. We want to urge people in the Ibadan North federal constituency to disregard the results and wait for the official final result from INEC.”

Meanwhile, residents and party supporters who witnessed the counting of ballots described the contest at the unit as peaceful and transparent, with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducting the process without hitches.
