the Nigerian Army has ordered Brigadier General
Aliyu Momoh, who achieved notoriety by overseeing
the rigging of a governorship election in Ekiti State
in 2014, to
resign.
Minister of Defense, Dan Ali, disclosed the plan to end
General Momoh’s military career in an exclusive interview
in Washington, DC. Mr. Ali was in the US as part of the
Nigerian delegation at a nuclear power summit convened by
President Barack Obama of the United States of America.
The Nigerian Defense Minister revealed that the army
decided to initiate the process of rusticating General
Momoh who was indicted last year by a military panel.
General Momoh led a contingent of soldiers and other
security agencies who intimidated voters and inhibited the
movement of officials of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in a broad strategy that was reportedly approved by
former President Goodluck Jonathan to enable Ayodele
Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to defeat
then incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi.
A former Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro,
was used as a conduit to transfer huge sums of funds for
the rigging operation. Mr. Obanikoro, who faces a separate
investigation for money laundering, reportedly used the
corporate account of his son’s firm to receive more than
N4.7 billion for the election. The funds were then
distributed among Mr. Fayose, Senator Iyiola Omisore and
security agents who carried out the rigging.
The full version of Mr. Ali’s interview with SaharaReporters
will be posted soon.

victory at last, that man should be summoned to military tribunal and sentenced to life jail, turning stick does not know how to reject messages ended inside hot water... Yoruba proverb.. Let koli be promoted to that position

Long overdue

Hate-PC


Why all these their disclose this disclose that ;happening outside Nigeria na..??

Abii we no get media again??

I dey pity fayose when his tenure eventually comes to an end and he no longer has immunity.

Amazing action

Great decision. Impunity should no longer be condone in the country. When you obey instructions contrary to the ethics of your profession, you should be ready to face the consequences. In addition, the COAS who gave him the instruction to use his troops illegally in the Ekiti election should also be sanctioned.

He's don't his benefactors real proud.
He can go rest now, if lucky, in his house.

I am liking this government already

Momoh should be demoted to captain while Koli should be promoted, Momoh should serve under kolii. I think that punishment is better

Seconded, should it happen this way nobody go tell momoh to resign

You see how Fayose and Obanikoro finished your life so.

In our individual ways we are responsible for the "Ayo Fayose" of this earth.

Please let us educate those within our circle of influence on Sex Education and pass condoms to those we meet.

You will be preventing another disaster called "Ayo Fayose"!

Give out at least one N50 gold circle condom a day and save our planet of Vermins like Ayo Fayose!

When will the military officials that formented electoral vices in the Rivers re-run be compulsorily resigned?

Fayose and the wailing wailers, in the usual manner, will say Buhari is a dictator.

I don't know if this is true or an allegation butI know the resignation is to pave way for full investigation, it's unfortunate he was following orders as at that time, but people who gave him instructions are free, wicked world.

how can you go through military training and allow a politician to use you, are you mmmmaand?
