The SDP candidate however said he will not go to the curt to challenge the results.

He said doing so would be a waste of time. His party can go to court, if it’s not satisfied with the results, he said.

Speaking on Channels Television’s  programme yesterday, Ajaka stated that the election was a waste of time and resources by the electoral umpire.

According to him, “I have been around for the past 20 years. I know what it is. What am I going to court to do when the same INEC that did this is going to come as a witness to defend what they did? So it is a waste of time. Except the party people because I’m hugely disappointed. If the INEC chairman allows this to stand, they are looking for trouble in Nigeria.

“You gave me assurances that the election would be transparent, you allowed me to waste my time, spend my money, mobilise my people, only for you to write the results. Even if I’m not sad about it, you expect my supporters to be happy. I assure you if they allow this to stand as they are allowing in all the states now, they are calling for anarchy in this country,” he said.
