The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti yesterday said it will reclaim its mandate stolen by Governor Ayo Fayose, adding that the people of the state will vote him out.
In a release, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, noted that, “people in general now stood on a superior moral ground to retrieve the stolen mandate to install a purposeful government led by former Governor, Kayode Fayemi for Ekiti’s development.”
The party disclosed this as a reaction to the audio video released by an online medium, Sahara Reporters allegedly claiming how Governor Ayodele Fayose; a one-time Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro; Senator Iyiola Omisore; Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Jelili Adesiyan in conjunction with the military allegedly rigged the June 21 gubernatorial election in the state.
However Prince Dayo Adeyeye, Minister of state for works who doubled as a PDP stalwart debunked such allegation, describing it as utter falsehood.
Adeyeye however stated that the people of Ekiti willingly gave their mandate to Fayose and as such no amount of ill campaign will take away that fact.
The statement reads: “It was shocking that one of the participants spoke of how he must deliver on the assignment given to him by the ‘President’. The fellow said ‘I am not for a tea party but to deliver on the President’s assignment.’
“It was shocking hearing the voice of a Major General in the Army begging ‘Mr Governor’ and pledging loyalty to deliver on the assignment,”.
