A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has
called for the arrest of the Ekiti State Governor,
Ayo Fayose, saying this is possible because the
governor rigged the June 21, 2014 Ekiti
governorship election.
A statement by Falana’s organisation, Value and
Integrity Group, on Thursday, said Fayose should
be tried for the ‘political malfeasance that
characterised the Ekiti governorship election’.
The statement said, “Having consistently demanded
the prosecution of all the wicked criminals who
shared in the looting of the funds meant for the
procurement of arms, Mr. Falana has called for the
arrest and trial of Mr. Ayodele Fayose and his
cohorts over the N4.8bn deployed to perpetrate
the grave electoral malfeasance that characterised
the last Ekiti State governorship election.”
The statement which was signed by the coordinator
of the group, Shina Odugbemi, continued:
“In particular, Mr. Falana stated that Mr. Fayose
should be tried since he was a candidate and not a
governor when the serious electoral offences were
committed by him. On his contention that the
governor’s immunity does not cover his impunity,
Mr. Falana cited several decisions of the Supreme
Court and the Court of Appeal.
“With respect to fresh facts which have established
that the election was marred by monumental
fraud, Mr. Falana has opined that the Supreme
Court could be approached by the APC to review its
judgment on the endorsement of the election of
Mr. Fayose since it is trite law that any judgment
obtained by fraud is liable to be set aside.”
Falana added, “However, in recent time, earth-
shaking revelations have been credited to those who
took part in the illegal use of armed soldiers to
manipulate the election in favour of Mr. Fayose.
“When the revelations of Captain Sagir Koli who
recorded the conversation of the electoral bandits,
including the altercation between General Aliyu
Momoh and Mr. Fayose were published last year,
there were denials by the dramatis personae.”
