“We have been receiving preliminary reports from the accredited Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Most of those in the so-called Coalition of Civil Society Groups were not accredited for the poll by INEC…The materials and logistics were on spot and accreditation of voters started as and when due in more than 92 percent of the polling units.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has told the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Saturday July 14, 2018 Ekiti State gubernatorial election, Prof. Kolapo Olusola a.k.a. Eleka, to carry out his threat of challenging the result of the poll in court.

The electoral body insisted that the result of the election was a reflection of the will of the people and that Eleka heading to court was the proper thing to do, The Nation reports.

“INEC welcomes the decision of Prof. Eleka to go to the tribunal on the outcome of the governorship election. That is the proper thing to do,” INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Wole Osaze-Uzzi said.

“Legal process is a better resort than making inciting statements and engaging in media trial. We welcome judicial intervention on disputes arising from the election. Just like in the case of Edo State, it is left to Eleka to prove his case before the tribunal,” INEC said.

The official said the fact that international and local observers rated the conduct of the poll as good was an indication that the outcome of the election was a fair reflection of the will of the people of Ekiti state.

“We have been receiving preliminary reports from the accredited Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Most of those in the so-called Coalition of Civil Society Groups were not accredited for the poll by INEC,” he said.

“The materials and logistics were on spot and accreditation of voters started as and when due in more than 92 percent of the polling units.”

Meanwhile, Governor Ayodele Fayose, relying on sources he and accomplices chose to believe against the popular and accredited election monitoring Civil Society Groups internationally and locally, has finally reacted to the outcome of the Ekiti gubernatorial election describing it as rigged and blaming President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dr. Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had defeated Professor Kolapo Olusola Eleka who is the Deputy Governor of the state in the July 14 polls.

In a series of tweets on Monday, July 16, Fayose vowed that the party would secure its stolen mandate in court.

He claimed there was no celebration in Ekiti after Fayemi’s victory saying it showed mandate was stolen from the people.

Unfortunately, not only that Fayose’s came of no jubilation in Ekiti following the APC’s victory has been proved to be false but also, countless revelations have continued to surface pointing to why the now seriously frustrated outgoing PDP’s governor has no moral justification to lead any political offensives against the APC and its victorious candidate, Fayemi, as people in Ekiti and beyond are saying there is nothing true in his claims.

A respondent said presence of Joe Odumakin, wife of undisputable arch-enemy of Buhari and spokesman of PDP/Afenifere “alliance” Yinka Odumakin, in the observership of the election was clearly with ulterior motif being that what Fayose and PDP are claiming to be reasons they are rejecting the result of widely praised as violence free and creditable election conduct have resemblance wrong impression she tried to create on the day of the election, although he said, “the woman who came as President of Women Arise was only to disguise.  She appear more of a sadist out to commit mischief than thought.”

The respondent Joe Odumakin was the only one among all the observers that saw acid attack and ballots snatching premising her evidence only on what pictures sent to her phone (via whatsapp) at a time mischief makers have a way of tampering with physical evidence talkless of social media, although few of ballot snatching reported were found to be committed by PDP and culprits since arrested.

Those who fault the PDP and Fayose over their claims are saying that what happened last Saturday in Ekiti is proof that Fayose, who has been severally confirmed to have collected $37 million backed with 1,400 soldiers and thousands of Policemen and DSS operatives to prosecute the 2014 election that brought him into the Government House, or anybody related to him cannot win election in a free, fair and peaceful atmosphere.

Earlier before the election, National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole had alleviated the fears of the PDP politicians saying it was not possible for his party, which is now the other way round: having the Federal Might but is opposition in Ekiti, would stoop so low like they (PDP) used to do.

Oshiomhole said the fear of the PDP was that “they are thinking that we will use the same instruments they used against us in rigging Fayose in as governor of Ekiti will be used against them by us.  But no.  We are not going to do that.”

Fayose’s shameful past hunting?

Faultless revelations in terms of documents, video and audio recordings providing substantial evidence that major Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders planned and successfully rigged the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti State and plotted a similar scenario in Osun State in 2014, are no longer news as they are available not only in the public domains but to the chagrin of the main actors including the now agitated and frustrated outgoing Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and all levels of his PDP community.

While the 2014 plots succeed in producing Fayose as Ekiti governor, it however failed to produce an Osun State governor in Senator Iyiola Omisore who, earlier before then in what many had described as his compensation for allegedly “killing” former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federal Bola Ige during the Olusegun Obasanjo Administration, got elected while in prison without obtaining form of intent to contest nor campaigning also in mysterious atmosphere as Senator in Osun State.

Whereas the audio recordings and affidavit were provided by Sagir Koli, a Captain in the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State, who thereafter for fear of retaliation fled the country and returned only after the emergence of a more serene and comported Administration in the Muhammadu Buhari-led APC Federal Government.

Captain Koli, our findings revealed, recorded the conversation on June 20, 2014 when he was asked to accompany his Commanding Officer, Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, to the rigging plots meeting, which was at Spotless Hotel in Ado-Ekiti, owned by Fayose who was then a candidate and not in power as governor.

The audio recordings depict the meeting as being attended by the eventual “winner” of the election, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State; Senator Iyiola Omisore of Osun State; a close associate of Mr. Fayose identified as Honorable Abdulkareem; the Minister for Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan; and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro who was at the time the Minister of State for Defence. Mr. Chris Uba came to Ekiti with a huge stash of money and soldiers from the East to carry out the assignment, it was gathered.

The 37-minute recording details the conversation between these men as they bribed Brigadier General Momoh with a promotion for his assistance in carrying out election fraud in Ekiti State. In it, Mr. Obanikoro is clearly heard informing the group of men, “[I] am not here for a tea party, [I] am on special assignment by the President.”

Credible intelligence was further received that the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had instructed the Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, to use the Army in arresting and intimidating opposition politicians before and during the election, which was what happened, although many of the Nigerian Media failed to report the whole truth, but because truth is constant and always plays itself out despite the depth of incarceration, the PDP government’s unholy outings were exposed without anyone left out. The audio recording provides exact details of the plot, with the collaborators almost degenerating into physical combat.

Chief Aluko gave and still gives further details of how “we rig the 2014 Ekiti governorship election for Fayose” and videos abound of television interviews he granted on this revelation he swore was never influenced by the APC.

Aluko, in one of the television interview he granted on TVC, confirmed they the PDP leadership actually sold the idea of getting Ekiti from APC at all cost to Jonathan who readily bought the idea in advancement of his own personal ambition of second term.

The revealer, who insisted he remains member of the PDP and has no plan of leaving the umbrella party, said Jonathan gave the first cash of $2 million to Fayose and later gave another $35 million to the now frustrated, agitating governor, which Aluko said was delivered by then Minister of State for Defence Musiliu Obanikoro to him (Fayose) in his presence.  Obanikore, who at the advent of Buhari Administration had run abroad and later returned, had however confirmed the Aluko’s claims to the Ibrahim Magu-led Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he delievered the $35 million Jonathan’s money to Fayose.

Aluko further revealed how they made the rigging tactically more effective in the pre election days whereby they created so many illegal cells in public schools’ compounds in Ekiti and in which they incarcerated all APC leaders and members arrested from three days to the 2014 election were detained.  He said more.

It will also be recalled how Fayose, relying on the Federal Might of the PDP, used the police supervised by Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State to waylay and kill APC supporters of the then sitting Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

It is on the heels of these that many Nigerians political or not are telling Fayose, Eleka, whose basis for rejecting the last Saturday July 14 election are said to have premised on falsehood and are thereby described as complete misinformation, and their party, PDP, to cover their eyes with shame.

The INEC, which is now completely a rebirth from its former being of the PDP era, has challenged the allegations makers to go to court if they can.
