Rigging of election comes in different forms. A man must win in the first ballot, the second ballot comes with a lot of manipulation and intrigues.
Osun was inconclusive. There was call for a re-run in 7 polling units of 3498 registered voters. And this signalled serious horse trading between APC and the leading PDP.
It was a political master stroke when Bukola Saraki and Atiku visited Omisore. But unfortunately, the meetings ended without any press statements.
When a team of APC visited Omisore, there was a press statement. Omisore formed an alliance with APC. Even the ADP candidate, Adeoti, issued a press conference asking his supporters to vote APC. This is the first stage of rigging in re-run elections. Rally the smaller parties around you.
3498 people held the fate of PDP and APC. These men/women live few distances from these 7 polling units. The second stage of rigging starts. Seek these men/women. Lure them out. Lure them to your side with anything. Cash or kind. In political terms lobby them with anything you've got. Many of these 3498 people are either thousandnaires or millionaires as we speak.
The third stage is physical harrasment of opponents. It was reported that guns were shot to scare away voters from voting. Some fake observers were arrested. Some Journalists were initially bared and man handled. Inspite of all these votes were cast and counted. And these votes will count.
APC seems to have done a better deal on all fronts. Getting Omisore and Adeoti to their side is a master stroke, the master piece. Politics is about people. PDP will have to fight another day.
Nearly cannot kill a bird. All the parties fantastically rigged Osun election but only one party will be declared the winner by INEC....Mbanugo Steve
