THE police are now poised to investigate the leaked audio tape
on how top members of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) ,
including two ministers and an army general , allegedly plotted to
rig the June 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State .
Federal Attorney -General / Minister of Justice Mohammed Bello
Adoke ( SAN) directed Police Inspector -General Suleiman Abba to
conduct the investigation following receipt of a petition on the
matter .
Caught on the tape discussing the plot were Mr .Ayo Fayose who
was declared winner of the election; ex -Minister of Defence , Mr .
Musiliu Obanikoro; Police Affairs Minister Jelili Adesiyan ; ex -
Minister Caleb Olukolade ; the defeated governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State , Otunba Iyiola Omisore
and a serving Army General .
Some of those heard on the tape including Fayose , have admitted
being part of the meeting where the recording was made .
All of them are expected to come under the police scrutiny in
establishing the authenticity of the recording made by Captain
Sagir Koli of the 32nd Artillery Brigade of the army .
However , Fayose has immunity under the 1999 Constitution except
he willingly offers to subject himself for probe .
Koli later confirmed to Sahara TV and The Nation in separate
interviews that he recorded proceeding at the meeting held on the
eve of the election to show his resentment at the involvement of
the military in politics .
The audio recording and the video of Koli ’ s interview have gone
viral and made available to some foreign missions in the country .
The police investigation is expected to be fast tracked and a source
said yesterday that its outcome might determine the confirmation
of the renomination of Obanikoro as minister by President Goodluck
Jonathan .
Investigation showed that the AGF ordered the investigation after
receiving a February 13 , 2015 petition from the Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress( APC ) in Ekiti State , Chief Olajide Awe .
Although Awe specifically asked the AGF to prosecute those
implicated , Adoke opted for investigation for now .
Sources said the minister resolved that he could not prosecute
anyone involved in the matter without an investigation by a
relevant security agency .
An APC source quoted Adoke as saying in his response to Awe
that he is “ unable to exercise the discretion to prosecute one way
or the other without an investigation of the contents of your
petition and the accompanying audio recording .
“ I have accordingly forwarded the petition and accompanying audio
recording to the Inspector - General of Police for investigation .”
Awe had ,in his petition , asked for “ the prosecution of persons
involved in conspiring and perpetrating acts of unsitting the
incumbent Governor of Ekiti State in a manner other than
envisaged by the constitution .”
He said: “ We write to report to you and formally bring to your
attention the recent leak of an audio recording by Capt. Sagir Koli
of the 32 nd Artillery Brigade in Ekiti State .
