Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Ayodele Fayose has accused the All Progressives Congress of colluding with some unnamed Independent National Electoral Commission officials to rig the June 21 governorship election.
He described a statement credited to the APC national leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the Peoples Democratic Party had planned to rig the poll as reckless talk.
In a press statement made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti by his spokesman, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, Fayose said that the grand plan of the APC was to cause mayhem before and during the election so as to discredit the election results.
He said, “One of their strategies is collusion with Ekiti INEC officials and buying of voter’s card from unsuspecting Ekiti people with N2,000 or N5,000.
“During my campaign tour to rural areas in Ekiti, many people told me that some APC chieftains came to purchase their cards on the promise to return them but failed to do so. We have lodged complaints at the appropriate quarters and PDP is battle ready to prevent rigging of this poll by whosoever.”
Fayose averred that it was in the nature of the APC and its leaders to accuse people of what they intended to do.
“Tinubu is not in tune with reality on ground in Ekiti, he is still living in the past and I am advising him to send a fact finding team he can trust to Ekiti who will advise him better not to expend his resources on failed project.
“Fayemi has destroyed education, put Ekiti in debt, impoverished Ekiti people through capital flights. Nobody really want to return APC to power in this state. APC is like leprosy to the people.
“If Tinubu has alliance with INEC, it is better for him to collect the money he has given to INEC because it will not work. Ekiti people have rejected Fayemi and APC.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
