Ekiti State-how Fayose Won The Assembly Election ...A Must Read!!! by expressglory: 9:14pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
Taiwo Olatubosun,APC Publicity Secretary yesterday explained how PDP won the Ekiti State Assembly elections. According to him: "To be specific, APC members were driven to the bush in many towns across the state. They included Efon Alaaye, where PDP thugs did not allow any APC member to participate in accreditation while no party agent was allowed to stay in any of the polling units in the town. "In Ilupeju-Ijan, APC members alleged that the traditional ruler of the settlement threatened to banish them because of their refusal to vote for the PDP as he decreed. The dwellers in their hundreds left their abodes and could not vote for the party of their choice," he explained. Also in Ijan-Ekiti, PDP agents forced members of the National Youths Service Corps, who worked as adhoc staff, to abandon card readers for manual accreditation in three units, namely Eyingbe, Ogbontitun and Imekun in the town to enable them stuff the ballot box in support of PDP candidate who is from the town. Olatubosun said APC members in Ilejemeje Local Government were driven into the bush while thugs and policemen from the Government House did most of the thumbprinting of the ballot papers. He added:" In Ikere Ekiti, thugs and policemen from the Government House did not allow APC members to vote while party agents were driven into the bush. In Afao Ekiti, Fayose's town, many APC members were not allowed to vote as they were driven into the bush by Fayose's thugs imported into the town previous night." The statement also noted that in Oke-Ako country home of factional Speaker, Dele Olugbemi, thugs and fake policemen were shooting to scare voters away while they were engaged in illegal thumbprinting of ballot papers. "In Ijero Local Government, it was the same story as thugs chased away voters and carted away voting materials, including ballot boxes, and later thumb-printed papers and deposited them in the ballot boxes, while in Ado Ekiti, policemen attached to the Government House, who were not accredited to monitor election, arrested APC members illegally but were only released when the people protested that they were on illegal mission. They were thereafter detained," he said. Olatubosun said PDP candidate in Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency Two, Sanya Aladeyelu, was moving from his town Eyio to Esure and Iropora with fake policemen harassing voters while in Itaji, Ayede, Ilemeso and Ilafon, thugs under the command of the candidate of the PDP in Oye Constituency II, raided polling units and carted away ballot papers which they later thumb-printed. He explained that in Igogo, thugs and policemen from the Government House carted away ballot boxes after shooting into the air to scare away voters. The people went on protest over this. "This is the trend in most parts of the state. Added to this is the fact that result sheets were not available in many polling units across the state while voting materials came late. We strongly believe that most of the results of the election were written since Friday at the Government House by Governor Fayose," he said. He explained that Adedara, who was APC candidate in Ikere Constituency Two, was illegally arrested at his polling unit by a purported mobile police man in mufti. Many other arrests were also made on Thur/Friday to hinder normal pre election strategic mobilization |

Only PDP candidates campaigned during the whole electioneering process,, other party's campaign posters or billboards weren't allowed anywhere, also made sure his thugs were available to harass anyone he felt could be a threat to his total dominance of the state. He threatened the state and local govt workers ;(who hated the APC and the ex-Gov anyway and who also formed 75% of the voter population) that they will cease to receive regular salaries if they were in opposition to the ruling party ( prior to the presidential election) and used the osun state's workers predicament to drive home his point. Considering the civil servants hated the Fayemi's elitist policies and "strictness " that was a gamble they weren't going to take. For the typical Ekiti rural dwellers, it was operation thumb print PDP, display to party agents and receive 1k. The little votes APC got were just happenstance. Fayose can only lord it over a state like Ekiti cos its a collection of rural villages and micro towns with just Ado as the capital the only place that is civilised a bit. One question no one has answered is that; if Fayose is so fiercely loved as being purported, why did he contest for a senatorial seat in 2011 and LOST ? N.B---- I dont need to be believed, anyone that has family or friends in a typical Ekiti community can the veracity of these claims. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The issue with Fayose is that unlike other governors he has zero tolerance for opposition.He simply cannot stand the existence of anyone challenging him.And if you dare him either you are PDP or APC you may find yourself in big trouble that is if you are still breathing. His zero tolerance nature was why he declared curfew in Ekiti to prevent APC supporters from celebrating Buhari's victory! 2 Likes |
