In the recording, Ekiti state Governor,
Ayodele Fayose; a former Minister of
State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikore
Obanikoro, former Senator Iyiola
Omisore and other individuals were
heard discussing with a serving
Brigadier General of the Nigerian
Army, Aliyu Momoh, on how to use the
military to rig the election in the
state.
Most of the actors involved in the
saga admitted there was a meeting,
but they all denied that rigging was
discussed.
In an exclusive interview with
PREMIUM TIMES, the spokesperson of
the PDP, Olisa Metuh, said those
mentioned in the scandal did not carry
out the alleged rigging scheme on
behalf of the party.
He said the party does not want to get
involved in the controversy triggered
by the leaked recording and would
rather prefer that those mentioned in
connection with the matter respond
individually.
He said the PDP as a party has never
requested anyone to rig on its behalf
and will never be engaged in electoral
malpractices.
“Any tape whether real or imaginary
can be concocted in this digital world;
we don’t know what is real and what
is not,” Mr Metuh said. “I also
believe that the actors in their
personal capacity will be able to talk
about what really happened.
“As a political party, we have never
engaged in planning or getting
involved in any conspiracy to rig
elections or alter the will of the
people,” Mr. Metuh said.
He also said the party has so far
demonstrated maturity in elections
held in the last two years.
Mr. Metuh admitted that he had not
listened to the recording but
wondered whether the tape was even
authentic at all.
“We had elections in five states in
the last two years, PDP won in only
one state; how comes its just that one
that we won, that a tape is suddenly
surfacing to say we planned rigging.
“Why did we not plan rigging in Edo,
Ondo, Anambra and Osun? How comes
the only one that we won is the one
they want to tarnish? It is a
calculated attempt to sway the minds
of Nigerians that the PDP is not
capable of winning in a free and fair
election.
“Our people are even raising the
fact that we were rigged out in Osun;
but we are not engaged in
propaganda, we are not engaged in
manufacturing tapes, We won election
in Ekiti state because of the love of
our party, and the massive support
that our gubernatorial candidate, Ayo
Fayose, enjoys in the entire state.
The PDP spokesperson said the Ekiti
tape saga is just another propaganda
by the APC, saying if the APC is sure
of the authenticity of the tape, it
should approach the law courts to
seek redress.
”In this era of campaign, where you
have a lot of propaganda, anybody
with any concrete evidence can go to
either the law enforcement agencies
or the law courts to seek redress.
“For us, we are more involved in the
campaign than propaganda; our first
thought actually is that it is simply
just propaganda, it is only the court
that can decide if on the matter of
Ekiti election, just like the tribunal
and court of appeal have decided. If
they think there is fresh evidence,
they can go to court,” he said.
