A group, Ekiti Youth Emancipation Movement, has accused the governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti and Osun states, Ayodele Fayose and Iyiola Omisore respectively of plotting to import Niger-Delta militants as poll monitors.
In a statement, on Tuesday, in Ado Ekiti, the group’s President, Taiwo Olatunji, alleged that the two politicians had already succeeded in registering spurious groups as monitors in the June 21, 2014, governorship election in Ekiti State.
It said, “These poll monitors, we gathered, had already been registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission. These Fayose and Omisore thugs masked as poll monitors would then be deployed to all polling units with cloned voters’ cards on election day with the mandate to destroy ballot boxes and papers wherever the All Progressives Congress is leading in the polls. The PDP is feverishly worried that Fayemi will record a sweeping victory in the election hence its plan to cause a stalemate.”
However, the Director of Media and Publicity, Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation, Chief Gboyega Aribisogan, described the allegation as untrue.
He said, “Omisore has no reason to come to Ekiti on the day of election to do anything. And we want to make it clear that we don’t have interaction with the Niger Delta people, so, this is a lie.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis is APC plan. The party of propagandist, Involve in do or die affair, they lack focus and they have nothing to offer Ekiti people though I am very close to them but they will never take to any good advice.
ReplyDeleteI could remember the last gubernatorial election in Ekiti State when a candidate was promised to be handed a care-taker of Oye local govt. Under the then ACN now APC.It was unfortunate that the man went ahead to hire thugs from a town along Akure road from Ikere to unleash mayhem on the villager. Could this be a true democrat?
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that uninformed electorates permeate our politics. The unfolding drama typified the myopic political game and permutations rulling our kind of politics. Let ALL be AWARE! 2015 in view.
