They use the false court of instance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person that came third said they are going for rerun. How does he know that the court will give a rerun? So the Labour Party is now judging the tribunal? They are jokers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost politicians are incurable optimists. Even from ground zero, they want to make 100 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, these are just wishful thoughts from the Labour Party. As far as I am concerned, they are jokers. They are nothing to worry about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the APC is prepared for a rerun, the APC official said, \u201cThere can\u2019t be any rerun for God\u2019s sake because it was a clear win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Labour Party defeating Bola Tinubu in Lagos is the beauty of democracy and it shows the sanctity of that election. It shows the neutrality of the party, and it shows the evidential reason APC won across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on allegations of crisis within the party, Omisore said, \u201cWe are not aware of any internal wrangling within the APC. It is the imagination of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have moved far from that; the issue of Senator Abdullahi Adamu supporting somebody is an old issue. They are just trying to play the old game.
