If it can be proven, that they had irregularities, d case can end up unfavorably for APC In law, PDP will need to provide hard evidence that APC indeed bought votes. How do you realistically prove that? |

PassingShot: Since conclusion of the gubernatorial election in Ekiti state, we have been inundated with allegations by PDP/Eleka/Fayose and indeed their sympathizers that the APC-led FG rigged the election. The absurd thing about the allegations is the observation that majority of those alleging fraud are neither residents nor indigene of the state. Most are from the eastern part of Nigeria!
Having waited for two days after the election observing claims by the losing camp, I have come to the conclusion that the election was lost by Fayose and it could not have been rigged for the following reasons:
1. Owing of Salaries Not a single person has denied that Fayose last paid any form of salary or allowance to the civil servants of the state in 2017!. We were told the last time the state's workers received their salary was in December last year despite the fact that the state regularly gets her monthly allocation from the FG in addition to bail outs and Paris Club refunds. If this was not enough reason to vote Fayose/Eleka out in your books, please check yourself. And don't compare this to Osun where the state government reached an agreement with the workers to pay half salary since a drastic reduction in the state's income. That was a mutual agreement even though it's not an ideal situation.
2. PDP is Strong in Ekiti We have largely agreed in the past that rigging is only possible where you are strong and the opposition is weak (even though this is not 100% correct). PDP is more than a formidable party in Ekiti and it is the government in power controlling all the 16 local governments in the state. With all commissioners and boots on the ground, only barefaced rigging as we saw in 2014 against Fayemi/APC could have made rigging successful in the last election. This fact that low-level rigging could not be enough for a strong party was the reason PDP did barefaced rigging in 2014 where military was used to arrest opposition figures and muzzle the judiciary. No matter your insinuation, no one can claim anything like we witnessed in 2014 occurred in the last election in Ekiti.
3. Muzzling of Rivals/opponents Fayose succeeded in pocketing Ekiti's PDP to the point that he literally became the party chairman, the Speaker of Ekiti HOA and even the judge in some instances. The result of that behaviour was Fayose's imposition of Eleka on the party culminating into losing some erstwhile political allies to the opposition (APC) including decamping of 2 senators, the state's HOA Chief Whip and some other leading party's top politicians few days to the election. If this tells us anything, it is the fact that PDP as a party has not embraced internal democracy and still prefers the old way of imposition which largely caused it the presidency in 2015. No wahala, make dem continue. We will also continue to tell them that electorate can not be enslaved with this attitude of theirs.
4. Spontaneous Jubilation in Parts of Ekiti If by now you are still doubting that the election was not rigged, you only need to watch videos of spontaneous jubilation in some parts of the state that greeted the announcement of Fayemi as the next governor of the state. That there has not been any protest since the result of the election was announced is an indication that majority of electorate prefer Fayemi to PDP/Eleka. Check videos on FB and Youtube to clear your doubt please.
5. No Hard Evidence of Rigging Has Surfaced Till Date I firmly believe that if any rigging took place, PDP and its agents accross the polling stations of the state will have come up with photos nad videos of such manipulation. In this age of advanced technology, it won't be difficult for the party's agents to have photos/videos of result sheet at the collation centers (from each polling booth to the state's collation center). I am sure if anything with a semblance of rigging exists, PDP will not waste a second to release it to the public before even heading to court!. Fayose and PDP knew they were losing the election, hence the childish displays by the thugnor before the election to curry undeserved sympathy from the electorate.
To those who think that celebrating thugery of Fayose and attacking the president and/or APC at any given opportunity is a sign of strength or boldness/bravery, they need to start understanding that people on the street are not stupid to buy that childish gimmicks. Nigerians largely know who brought them to the situation we are currently getting out of. They know who their enemies are. However, if they still believe in shamelessly engaging in online abuse and attack, they will continue to be told in the right language at the right time that we are not fools and will not allowed to be taken for a ride.
Lastly, APC-led government and indeed PMB have proved over and over again that the voice of the masses will count even if they find themselves on the losing side. Examples include the senatorial election in Osun won by Adeleke of PDP, a senatorial election in Kogi won by PDP and the gubernatorial election in Anambra won by APGA. If you still call PMB a tyrant after all of these examples, you need to examine yourself and repent before you die of chronic hatred for the man trying to rescue us all.

In law, PDP will need to provide hard evidence that APC indeed bought votes. How do you realistically prove that? Thats why i added Wike/Supreme Court. The court just needs a bit of technicality, to pass judgement. Judgement taht can't be questioned or appealed. Like happened with Wike(2015) n Saraki(2018) |

Took the words right out my mouth. There is no need to rig the election when the people of Ekiti have been seeking for freedom from the bondage of Fayose. Nobody wants a governor who owes salaries, increases hardship for the people, have little to no interest in the welfare of the people and only have interest in standing before camera,en, lashing out on the ruling party. When the people saw the opportunity to break free, the seized it and now they are. So let nobody (PDP) come laying allegations that are true about themselves only. We know the truth!!! |
