Ekiti Election Rigging: APC Vows Fayose Can’t Escape Justice

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has
responded to Governor Ayo Fayose’s allegations in
his press conference purporting that APC was
planning to use the Supreme Court to upturn his
mandate.
APC accused the governor of blackmail, saying his
fraudulent and pre-emptive tactics will not stop
justice from taking its course in the resolution of the
biggest electoral fraud in the history of Nigeria.
The party’s Publicity Secretary in Ekiti, Taiwo
Olatunbosun, in a statement released to the median,
said that Fayose’s fraudulent attempt to draw the
support of the international community to poll fraud
was an impish attempt to legitimise fraud, stressing
that the same international community had since
realized that world leaders were also victims of
Fayose and PDP’s fraud by misleading them in
Fayose’s electoral victory in Ekiti State.
“Even though the international community
declared that Ekiti poll that produced Fayose was
fair, the same world leaders have since changed
their position after listening to Ekiti poll fraud
tape as secretly recorded by Captain Sagir Koli
detailing how Fayose and PDP leaders rigged the
election, including Fayose himself talking in the
tape how he collected INEC soft copies and got
them printed to win the election,” Olatunbosun
explained.
He said Fayose is running from his shadow after
failed bids to beg President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Why did Fayose try to pressurize members of the
Military Panel to rescue him? After his emissaries
returned empty-handed in their failed bids to
achieve their aims, Fayose has now resorted to
blackmail, accusing the President of trying to
destroy democracy and we wonder who among
him and the President is the enemy of democracy.
“This is the man that sacked the court and beat up
a judge. This is a man that used seven members
to impeach a Speaker and closed the House of
Assembly against 19 members of the Assembly for
six months. This is a man that ran all opposition
politicians out of town during elections and
launched relentless attacks on opposition
candidates during election,” Olatunbosun said.
He said Fayose should explain to Nigerians and the
international community what he meant in the Ekiti
poll fraud tape where he said he collected INEC soft
copies that he printed to win his election.
“If a criminal case that is taken to court and the
court assumes jurisdiction to try that criminal case
is what Fayose would call illegality and destruction
of democracy, is it printing INEC soft copies and
collation of results days to the election that is legal
and a boost to the practice of democracy in
Nigeria?”
APC said no amount of crocodile tears shed by Fayose
will make him escape justice.
