A survey conducted on Friday by Opinion Polling Agency (OPA), a pan African polling group, has shown that one out of ten Osun residents believed the Osun state supplementary poll was ruthlessly rigged.
The group in the report circulated on Saturday ,a copy of which was also sent to the Ademola Adeleke Campaign Office,noted that a total of 5000 residents were randomly questioned across the three senatorial districts.
"We asked four questions.Is the Osun supplementary poll free and fair ? Who actually won the Osun governorship election? Which of the political parties deployed violence as a tool at the Thursday poll?",Adekola Samson,the agency project manager noted.
"For the first question,more than two third said the election was forcefully rigged by the APC.Almost the same two third said Ademola Adeleke won the election at first ballot.About 70 percent said APC used extreme force against opposition PDP at the supplementary poll",he wrote in the report.
My Samson said the likelihood of error is minimal because "the subject of the polling was still very fresh in the minds of the public.
"We have local and international observers who volunteered to administer the oral questionnaire",Samson stated further.
"In reality we have more people who wanted to participate in the survey but we limited the number to 5000 with the sample comprising of women,men and young voters",the project manager stated.
African Polling Agency is affiliated with the Good Governance Office of the African Union.
