Though the national elections have come and gone, the joys of victory and the agonies of defeat have been heard, there is no better time than now to X-ray how Professor Attahiru Jega and some of his men performed.
‎
If the INEC boss deserves kudos for a job well done, the same cannot be said of Ambassador Rufus Akeju, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Oyo state. The last national and state elections in the state was a sham to say the least.

To think that one would get anything different from Rufus Akeju than what we got would have been asking too much from a man who has practically sold out whatever integrity he had on the altar of avarice.

Before the elections, major political parties in the state, except the APC, made representations to the INEC chairman on why Akeju should be redeployed from the state. They cited facts and evidence that he was,at a time, a former Personal Assistant to the APC National leader Senator Bola Tinubu and a card-carrying member of the All Progressive Congress.

However, professor Jega refused to budge not minding that similar allegations were made against him in Osun state which a court of law later substantiated. Jega held his ground indicating that the INEC boss might have had other motives in Oyo state rather than free and fair elections.

Today, we have the 2015 elections in Oyo state as the worst ever conducted in the annals of the pacesetter state. An election that was skewed,from the beginning, in favor of a party.

How Akeju and his co-conspirators manage to sleep at night without an iota of guilt should be worthy of study. A deliberate act was embarked upon by the INEC to subvert the will of the people of Oyo state through a fraudulent election. 

Aside the shoddy distribution of electoral materials and voting being allowed to run into the night in most places, particularly in the national elections,systematic fraud was executed in the governorship and Houses of Assembly elections that will bring tears to the eyes. ‎

These are acts would have been practically impossible to achieve without the intervention of top INEC officials in Oyo state.

It is sad that the law gives some sort of immunity to INEC officials who are quick to make public, election results that are crooked and ask the aggrieved to go to court. 

Should any of the parties involved in the Akeju-supervised charade-labeled-elections go to the election tribunal to challenge the processes and the results of the election, it would be a miracle for some INEC staff not to spend time in jail, with Rufus Akeju leading the Pack.

It is said that some people strengthen society through a purposeful life, the reverse is the case with the Oyo REC. Come to think of it, what can one possibly expect from a man of Akeju's age who goes about with a gold chain around his neck like a  love-vendor and a peddler of cheap narcotics ? A man so close to vanity will stop at nothing to sustain his vain life style.

Ambassador Rufus Akeju has truly left a mark everywhere the soles of his feet touch. One thing that distinguishes him from others is his desire to rig elections and subvert the will of the electorate for his paymaster whose boots he licks with so much vigor that one wonders why his Tongue is not black yet.

The truth is that some of the aggrieved will go to the tribunal and the treachery of Rufus Akeju the Oyo state Resident Electoral Commissioner against the people of Oyo state will be exposed.

My utmost wish is for the hijacker of the peoples' will to be joined in the suit with INEC, in his personal capacity, for knowingly manipulating the outcome of the results of the last elections, in favor of his party as evidences abound of his willful betrayal of the mandate entrusted to him to be an impartial umpire.

APC and their bags of tricks. You think we dont know how APC bribed rufus akeju behind the scene only for them to come out and start crying.

Kip crying Boy and dont stand up and take responsibilty...........In a Sane Society I dont think anybody in his right senses will vote for Akala and Ladoja. If EFCC is Effective boht akala and Ladoja should be in jail for Looting Public fund............Having said that, all party rig both the apc and pdp so i expect you to seek redress in court over criminals who will loot oyo state if given second chance.

In some areas outside Ibadan, I heard votes have been cast for a certain party 24 hours before the election. Akeju and his election riggers are trying frantically to tally the votes cast with the number they announced.

When the election petition tribunal commences, a lot of shocking revelations would be seen.

datz true

What defies logic and common sense is how Jonathan allowed APC and Jega to hijack INEC under Jonathan's very eyes.

Take a look at all the state RECs and you can discover that over 70% of them are APC apologists.

Was it not this Akeju fellow that left a trail of infamy in Osun State in a previous election? Should we then conclude that there are no upright public officials other than Akeju to supervise elections in a key state like Oyo?

I watched as this recalcitrant REC was gloating over his victims with an air of patronising aloofness daring them to go to court...

Those who surmise that Jonathan is a weak leader probably have some point after all. I am still at loss as to why he elected to take his eyes off the ball when and where it mattered most.

Who I go ask?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Super Story

Another bereaved slowpoke
Who just couldn't accept the fact that ajimobi is wanted by majority.

I don't know much about the lifestyle of Akeju, but all what the crap op wrote there is all *idon'tevenknow*
I witnessed from my hometown, some 70km away from Saki. The extension into d night is nt peculiar to Oyo alone. In my polling unit, with 254 accredited voters, all the processing ended arnd 8pm, nt because we had problem wif d card reader(it worked perfectly) but because some folks frm differing parties arguments always halt the process for nthing less than 10mins, and it was very frequent. As a 'black' election observer, I was at other units too, in another unit where they were around 500 voters, d counting was still going on around 11pm, generators were provided at each unit by locals, party agents were there, pple were watching keenly, no interuption.....gatto stop here. Stop defaming his character and criticise with an open hand. U shud knw Otu, Ilero, etc U garrit

This rigging of a thing no go ever leave naija

[size=20pt]This na old gist... Talk something else[/size]

The headline is bogus to say the least.

The only reasonable thing said here is the allegation that REC had been a former PA to the APC national leader - Bola Tinubu and that he may be a card carrying member of APC.

The allegations if true will raise an independence issue on the part of INEC RECs.


Overall it is a ranting of a looser. No hard facts to corroborate the headline.


Meanwhile Seun and lalastica will be quick to put this on FP - Anyways it won't stop Jonathan from getting his refund from nairaland. Make una go do account o.

Nice one by the writer.He should also do us good by telling us what also transpired in Rivers state and Alwa Ibom state.

cry of a bitter looser

It will be fun to watch APC apologists and the change protagonists defend this impunity.
They used to be saints
They used to be social crusaders
They used to be political activists



Now..... Watch them change to Resident Evil

Its very evident that this man has made no sense. U put up an headline with no sensible content to back it up and u think ur different from Orubebe? I pity u so many things.
