Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has
described the audio clip released by the All
Progressives Congress (APC), through its media
organ, SaharaReporters as fake, saying, he never
held any meeting with anyone to rig the June 21,
2014 election, suggesting that his voice and those
of others could have been faked using technology
like Natural Voices.
He said the audio clip was APC’s new calculated
attempt to discredit the election results, having
failed woefully both at the poll and the tribunal.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Idowu
Adelusi, said in a statement issued on Friday that
the APC would have used the audio clip as
evidence at the tribunal if it were genuine.
He said: “Nigerians should be reminded of how
the APC lied in 2007 that they recorded how the
governorship election was rigged even in the
palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus
Adejugbe, but the party could not produce a
single photo as evidence at the tribunal because
their plans to do what is know as Morphing and
Syncing was exposed.
“Nigerians should also be reminded of the
existence of a technology called speech software,
which is good at reproducing the sounds, in­
flections and intonations of a human voice.
“There are software that can re-create voices and
even bring the voices of long-dead notable
persons back to life.
