Ekiti Re-run Saga: Inec Declares Engr. Segun Oni Winner by mascott(m): 1:29am On May 06, 2009
Emerging from her melodramatic behavior past week, Mrs. Adebayo a.k.a Mama returned to Ado-Ekiti yesterday.

Today she swung into action, repeated her macabre dance and imposed Engr. Segun Oni as governor of Ekiti state. Official results obtained by our correspondent in Ado-Ekiti (collation center) shows PDP in both wards. Our checks revealed that in Oye 1, the Action Congress (AC) had 569 votes while People Democratic Party (PDP) tally was 628 votes.In Oye 2, AC scored 261 votes, while PDP registered 611 votes. Thus sum total votes cast for AC is 830, while PDP was 1,239.However, the registered voters in the two wards in Oye Local Government Area is 18,000.
The re-run election which commenced at 8am, was held under tight security,and witnessed very low voters turn out. Most polling centers visited by our team at 3.30p.m, had rounded up. However,movement was restricted as Ekiti state remained under curfew till 6pm.But,hours after the elections were concluded at the wards, the INEC office in Ado-Ekiti was besieged by party faithfuls, consequently resulting in a melee that temporarily prevented Mrs. Ayoka Adebayo from officially releasing the result.

Nevertheless, when she eventually did, she threw the entire Ekiti state into a sticky situation as she returned the deposed governor Segun Oni.

although u r right, i beg to differ. If the election were to be fair n just, there wouldn't be need to go to court. this development just goes a long way to show our political immaturity in naija; which if not checked would lead us all into terrible times. its really a sad development considering the fact that if AC had won, politics n polity in the West would hav changed considerably.
