Mr. Taiwo Olatunbosun
The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti has urged the people to brace up for the challenge to recover its ‘stolen mandate’ from Governor Ayodele Fayose.
In a statement on Sunday, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the party said the “people in general now stood on a superior moral ground to retrieve the stolen mandate to install a purposeful government led by (ex-Governor Kayode) Fayemi for Ekiti development.”
The party stated this in a reaction to the audio video released by Sahara Reporters online allegedly detailing how Governor Ayodele Fayose; a former Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro; Senator Iyiola Omisore; Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Jelili Adesiyan and the military allegedly rigged the June 21 governorship poll.
However, the PDP chieftains have described the allegation as utter falsehood. The Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has described the audio clip as “a failed attempt to rewrite history.”
According to him, no amount of campaign of calumny and blackmail can erase the fact that Ekiti people willingly elected Fayose.
Olatubosun said the APC had been vindicated by its claim that ‘photochromic’ ballot papers were used to fixing election in Ekiti State.
He wondered how Fayose who was facing a criminal trial over alleged stealing of N1.3bn in poultry project fund fraud instituted by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission win all the 16 local governments in that election against “a performing incumbent governor.”
“It was shocking that one of the participants spoke of how he must deliver on the assignment given to him by the ‘President’. The fellow said ‘I am not for a tea party but to deliver on the President’s assignment.’
“It was shocking hearing the voice of a Major General in the Army begging ‘Mr Governor’ and pledging loyalty to deliver on the assignment,” the statement added.
