Police Affairs Minister Confirms Ekiti Rigging Tape by Atunga: 6:16pm On Feb 11, 2015
Contrary to attempts made by the former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musliu Obanikoro to rubbish the leaked the audio tape on how the Ekiti governrship election was rigged in favour of Governor Ayodele Fayose, one of the participants in the meeting, the Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesiyan, has admitted that the meeting actually took place.

The audio tape which was leaked last week, also featured other top officials of the government and Aliyu Momoh, a Brigadier General.

Adesiyan, however said the conversation in the tape was an argument between Fayose and Gen. Momoh after the former accused the later of being bribed by the then incumbent governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi.

“Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC, that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job,” he told the Sunday Punch newspaper.

“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.

“Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.”

Adesiyan, said the leaking of the tape was another dubious move by the All Progressive Congress, APC, to discredit the victory of Mr Fayose after their previous attempts failed.

“In order to set the record straight, we say emphatically that the offensive YouTube (audio) was unfounded and meant to hoodwink the unwary and portray the PDP and its leaders across the South West in a bad light.

“How did Omisore and those mentioned in the YouTube (audio) rig election when all the stakeholders in Ekiti voted for Fayose? Initially, the APC claimed it was stomach infrastructure that won the people’s mandate for Fayose. When that would not fly, they say it was photo-chromic rigging.

“Now, it is army and police who were coordinated to rig for Fayose; what balderdash!”
