Ekiti: Election Not Free, Fair — APC by Pygru: 10:47am On Jun 27, 2014
The APC at the end of the first meeting of its National Working Committee, NWC declared the just-concluded election as neither free nor fair as it claimed that the process that led to it was skewed to favour PDP.
The party said it had as such directed its members and officials who were arrested or limited in the days leading to the election to seek legal redress.
A communiqué of the meeting issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated thus:
”In order to prevent a recurrence of what happened in Ekiti, especially the militarisation of the process, the harassment and intimidation of citizens, especially those in opposition, my party has decided to challenge in court some of these constitutional breaches and will also encourage our leaders and supporters, who were arrested, harassed and intimidated to seek the enforcement of their fundamental rights that were recklessly abridged by the security agencies.”
He further stated that: “We believe that the events leading to the D-Day in Ekiti negate the principles of a free, fair and credible election. From the militarisation of the election to the police attack on our supporters, arrest and detention of our leaders across the state and the use of huge funds to induce voters, the federal authorities skewed everything in favour of the PDP.”
According to him: “With thousands of armed troops, police, state security and civil defence personnel deployed to Ekiti, the state was simply under a total lockdown.
APC planning mayhem in Ekiti — PDP
Responding to the APC communiqué yesterday, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh said the APC was about to resort to what he claimed were the party’s old behaviour as he claimed the party was set to cause mayhem in Ekiti State.
Noting that the communiqué of the APC demonstrates their ‘preference for anarchy and blind homage to nihilism and destruction of the democratic order’, Metuh said: “The APC has once again confirmed that it is nothing but a chaotic organisation, totally averse to democracy and orderliness. It has shown that it is a party of desperate, frustrated and violent individuals promoting a supporter of APC ideology.”

we never said it was free and fair, but it was well conducted.

The Out going Executive governor is a good politician, the crop of politician to move the nation forward. he accepted defeat honourably while his part is a bad looser, If they don't win, the election is not free and fair. they either challenge the result of the election in court, challnage the electoral process of simply claim the events before the election was manipulated to favour PDP or any other winning party.
I have a Big Question for APC, They hired the organisation that campaigned for Obama, what has that organisation done till date? or is the organisation helping with all the APC propaganda? or they simply will not let the organisation do the work they are paid to do.
we are watching.

In APC's books, when exactly is an election free and fair? The so called party leaders that were going to Ekiti 2 days before the election were not registered voters in Ekiti, so how would their restriction reduce APC's chances of winning by more than half of the votes cast? Is their mission to Ekiti more than we are being told? There was even news of APC party leader arrested with hoards of cash he was sharing on the election day and his movements duly restricted. Is the APC complaining of this too?

The election may not be perfect but reasonably free and fair.
