A National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission in charge of Election Operations and Logistics, Mrs Aminat Zakari has given the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose 48 hours to apologise publicly to her for accusing her of working with the All Progressives Congress candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi to rig the governorship election on Saturday.

Fayose had on July 2, 2018 accused the police and the Department of State Services of reposting Fayemi’s security aides to the state to coordinate the rigging of the election.

The governor also alleged that Zakari and three other INEC officials — Mr Kenneth Ukeagu ( Director of Procurement Department); Messrs Paschal Uwaenwe and Abdulrazaq Yusuf ( both deputy directors in Information and Communications Technology Department); and Mr Abdulrasak Agboola ( Deputy Director, ICT) — were working with Fayemi to carry out the alleged rigging.

But responding to the allegations in a suit filed by her lawyers Ubong Akpan Chambers, Zakari said the governor’s “scurrilous falsehood” had negatively impacted on her health, career and family life.”

In the suit titled, ‘Scurrilous statements against the integrity, person and public service of Mrs Amina Bala Zakari,’ and addressed to the governor, the INEC commissioner’s lawyers stated, “You (Fayose) are a Christian and a family man first before being a politician or governor of Ekiti State.

“You cannot possibly think it excusable on any grounds, other than deliberate viciousness that a governor of a state can legitimately descend to labelling a mother, wife and sister of his fellow beings a criminal of such astounding magnitude.

“What makes it worse than defamation is the incredible injurious falsehood you inflicted on our client in her work and public service.”

The suit added, “Mrs Zakari has been inundated with calls from family, friends and colleagues worldwide.

Zakari demanded that a written apology by the governor be published in all national newspapers within 48 hours.

The suit further demanded from the governor, “public retraction of all the allegations contained in all the said publications in the same manner and format in which the allegations were made.

It is Well With Nigeria

Character assassination is a big offence in a country where things are working but just a mere tool for Nigerian politicians to attack and cause distraction.

There is a siring pain right now in Fayose's chest, if he was faking crying days back now he's truly doing it.

Now no amount of ipob support can make him feel better.

That's how King Bubu pays back the insults.

fayose and his big mouth.. rabbish

we all know Amina Zakari does the dirty job for apc...but fayose should have been cautious.....

lolzzzzzzzzz.....

Don't worry yourself, ma. His cup don full already.

I feel like slapping someone right now. She better keep kwayet.
Insult upon injury..

This woman should please forgive Fayose. I'm already feeling for him now. How many people will Fayose apologise to? What he said against Bubu alone is enough. The funny thing, all he said is in the dailies not just mere saying.

fayose over to u.

Foyose is a tout

*singing* Baba 70
Double wahala for deadii body......
And the owner of deadii body

So...

APC shared 5k each to 197,459 people who voted for them.

PDP shared 3k each to 178,037 people who voted for them.

5k x 197,459 = 987,295,000naira

3k x178,037 = 534,111,000naira

Whenever you see someone from Ekiti complained about not having Light, Water and Hospitals... Just give them this

Am i the only one who remembers Fayose's infamous acts in 2015 when he paid for Buhari's obituary in major newspapers? #FayoseManySins

Still fresh in our memories, even the 2014 elections saga were FG closed the state's airport to prevent APC top ranking members access to the state and obanikoro's voice record. All he's noise will reduce soon. Imagine someone promising PDP bulk southwest votes but can't win his local govt lol

Will you keep kwayet there

An apology from the Kpomo cutter will only diminish everything good about you. If this INEC commissioner was sensible, she should have noticed that every person Fayose curses progresses, and those he prays for, loses.

Stupid Fayose will not go unpunished.
Lere, hv u seen your life now?
I hv never seen in anywhere that a sitting gov will refuse to welcome the President to his state. Fayose, set the bad presindenc.

if there is an undisputed and severally proven facts is this
1. yorubas are snakes, very cunny back-stabbing beans not forgetting their heavyweight cowardice status.
2. igbos are selfish and wicked and bias to everyone else except igbos themselves.
3. the hausas have both igbos and Yorubas in the armpit intact Nigeria as a whole

Great

Like for fayemi and shares for fayose

Shameless woman

Fayose owing salaries before an election is stupidity

I think fayose actually needs to be checked with civil suits like this. You don't just open your loud mouth and denigrate people's character all to score a cheap political point.

He should be made to suffer the same fate as Dokpesi and his TV station for their defamatory jingles during the 2015 elections

AlwAys running mouth like tap

Is this not Buhari's in law?

Exactly. If he had paid, the story won't have been the same. Ordinary Nigerians can forget 99 days of anger at the sight of money for 1 day.
