Ekiti people panic as the state’s 2018 Gubernatorial election controversies continue.
Governor Ayo Fayose has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its flagbearer for the forthcoming election, Kayode Fayemi are desperately working with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials to rig the polls, scheduled to hold on July 14. “I am still raising the alarm again of the plan of three Abuja senior officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); Pasca Ukenwa, Deputy Director, ICT, Abdulrasak Agboola, also Deputy Director, ICT, and Kenneth Ukeagu, Procurement Officer of INEC, they are working with Fayemi in a desperate plan to rig the July 14 governorship poll in Ekiti,” Fayose explained. “Ukaegu is planning to get ballot papers for Fayemi while the ICT directors are planning to reload card readers for Fayemi.”
Fayose while speaking on a radio and television broadcast in Ado Ekiti over the weekend, also disclosed the federal government are delaying allocations to instigate workers against him and two budget supports. “All the APC plans to do is to rig the election but we will reject that,” he adds. “They got into power at the federal level because the process was transparent. I have told INEC not to rig for me because the people of Ekiti are solidly behind our candidate.” Fayose has supported his Deputy, Olusola Eleka, to become his successor.
