The Inter Party Advisory Council in Lagos State says the outcome of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election is a confirmation that votes still count in Nigeria’s electoral system.
The IPAC Chairman in the state, Olusegun Mobolaji made this remark in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.
Mobolaji spoke in the interview on Sunday in Lagos while reacting to the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission and outcome of the governorship election won by an opposition party.

On the challenges of vote buying in elections, the IPAC Chairman said: “We can overcome the nemesis of vote buying and apathy if we are actually ready to do it.”
