Senator Sani, who contested for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket in Kaduna State but lost to a former House of Representatives member, Hon. Isah Mohammed Ashiru, said those who are still studying the results of the election are doing that in preparation for their PhD programme.
A former senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Assembly, Shehu Sani, has mocked those still doubting the outcome of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
Senator Sani, who contested for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket in Kaduna State but lost to a former House of Representatives member, Hon. Isah Mohammed Ashiru, said those who are still studying the results of the election are doing that in preparation for their PhD programme.
The former lawmaker made the statement on his verified Twitter page on Sunday where he said, “Those still studying the Osun result may be doing so for PhD theses.”
Sani was reacting to a statement by Ismail Omipidan, the Chief Press Secretary to Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, that the governor and the All Progressives Congress (APC) were still studying the election results.
Omipidan, who repeated the statement during the Channels TV ‘Politics Today’ monitored by SaharaReporters said the APC had taken record of the results of the election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the early hours of Sunday.
Omipidan said the party and its incumbent governor would respond to the outcome of the election after studying the results appropriately and consulting with critical stakeholders.
Similarly, the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, earlier on Sunday morning said he was not yet aware of the official declaration of the results of the election.
Adamu noted this while featuring on Arise TV Morning Show programme which started at 8:00 am, a few hours after INEC declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP as the winner and governor-elect in the election.
