The Teslim Kolawole Folarin 2015 Governorship Organisation has rejected the redeployment of Mr. Rufus Akeju as the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Oyo State.

In a statement by its Director General, Asimiyu Niran Alarape, on Sunday, the group said that Akeju’s redeployment to Oyo State by the Prof. Attahiru Jega-led Independent National Electoral Commission was an error, adding that “It must be corrected immediately to avoid a backlash.”

“Akeju’s choice for Oyo State is totally unacceptable, going by his antecedents. Akeju is known to be a former Special Adviser to Tinubu. It was on the basis of this and many other reasons that we reject his redeployment to our state,” the group said.

The group added, “In civilised climes, an embattled personality like Akeju ought to have been recalled to INEC’s headquarters to handle less sensitive assignments if the commission must retain him.

“To all intents and purposes, it is a general knowledge that Akeju served in Lagos State when Tinubu was governor of the state.That calls to question the impartiality of Akeju to continue to work in INEC, let alone still remaining a Resident Electoral as Commissioner.

“The continued retention of Akeju in INEC calls to question the independence of INEC. This fact led the Osun PDP to institute a suit against INEC.

“We have no doubt in the ability of Prof. Attahiru Jega to deliver in 2015 a credible and generally acceptable election and we believe that there are a few and very committed and unflinching officials of REC cadre in the commission.”
