Fayose Says APC Is Yet To Come to Terms With Its Loss In Ekiti
The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has again attacked the All Progressives Congress, saying the party “portrays issues not in their favour or interest with negative connotation”.
Governor Fayose was addressing claims by the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed that the Peoples Democratic Party was planning to use what he called “modified Ekiti rigging strategy” to rig the Saturday presidential election.
The governor released a statement via the Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the governor, Lere Olayinka, saying: “it was obvious that the APC and its gullible supporters were highly traumatised by the Ekiti humiliating defeat and no matter how hard they tried, they have not been able to wake up to face the reality of a total rejection by Ekiti people.
“In the minds of Lai Mohammed and his APC jesters, an election they lost so glaring was rigged, but Ekiti people who voted overwhelmingly for the PDP know that the election was won fair and square.
“No matter how loud their lamentation is, forces of deceit and falsehood which the APC represents will never take over Nigeria.”
He continued: “From stomach infrastructure to photochromic rigging and now military rigging, it is obvious that the APC people won’t get revived from their state of electoral coma until 2019.
”Up till today, they are yet to tell Nigerians how the audio and video clip they are parading made APC leaders like Senator Femi Ojudu, former Deputy Governor, Prof Modupe Adelabu, Hon Bimbo Daramola and others to lose their polling units. They are yet to tell Nigerians why they did not present the so-called rigging evidence at the tribunal.
”Most importantly, they are yet to explain why the so-called Captain Sagir Koli took the audio and video recording to Senator Bola Tinubu in Lagos, instead of the Military authority.
”Or isn’t that a pointer to the fact that the Army Captain (if he exists) had a working relationship with the APC leader prior to the election on which he must have been paid heavily?
