I'm not a PDP supporter, but am 90% sure that the mantle would still remain with Oni. I foresee cruel actions in Ekiti immediately the result is made public. Whoever wins the election, yawa go still gas. |

Ekitis, Si, Se Puede! ==================== The Ekiti rerun election is coming to a close as many polling stations, though started late but are rounding up now. There is palpable tremor of joy in Ekiti people’s hearts as they began to tally results from various polling units across the wards where elections took place peacefully. The people fought gallantly and foiled many attempts by PDP thugs to steal ballot boxes and rig the elections. Today the people of Ekiti demystified the so-called influence of Senator Ayo Arise. The man that was the loudest among the PDP chieftains. All the power and strategy of the PDP were anchored on Arise, whom they believed hold the ace to Oni’s victory. He was effectively checkmated and neutralized by irate youths who almost lynched him when it was discovered that he was massively thumb-printing ballot papers in his house for a fake victory by PDP. Ekiti was saved from the edge of bloodbath as youths invaded Arise’s house to scatter his plot to rig the election. He was saved at the nick of time by the DIG John Ahmadu, who quickly intervened upon security reports from Abuja. The end result? 36 political thugs were rounded up by the police in Arise’s house. Full of dangerous weapons and fetish objects called charms, which Arise excused as local protection for his boys. All the electoral material were reportedly confiscated from Arise’s house. He was later led out by the police to calm frayed nerves of the irate mob. The election in Oye local government have therefore been cancelled or suspended. Conflicting but unconfirmed reports reaching us as we go to the press indicates that Arise has been released on self-recognition and intervention by political hawks from Abuja whose interests he has been zealously protecting. A sad news also crept in about noon today on how PDP thugs shot and abducted AC Senator Lawrence Agunbiade aka Laco in his light green Toyota Sienna car, number DZ18GGE. He is critically hovering between life and death at a private hospital in Ekiti now. Agunbiade’s Personal Assistant, Mr. Femi Ekundayo, was also kidnapped by a local government chairman, but was lucky to be rescued by policemen later. Ekundayo was reported to have escaped bullets shot at him. He also alleged that he saw over 75 double barrel guns in the hands of the thugs led by the LG Chairman that kidnapped him. Desperate last minute efforts to reverse the sure defeat of PDP were made by two Senators mobilized by Governor Oyinlola of Osun State. Senator Isiaka Adeleke representing Osun Central Senatorial District and Iyiola Omisore visited INEC office in Ado-Ekiti for meetings that were shrouded in mystery thjis afternoon. ============================== http://www.osundefender.org/?p=4300 |

Election re-run in Oye, Ekiti state now takes place on Monday [b]The gubernatorial election will now hold on Monday in two wards of Oye Local Government in Ekiti State, following another postponement announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday. The election was initially billed to take place on Sunday. With the latest announcement,the election in the local government has been postponed twice within the last 24hours. INEC had ordered the postponement of Saturday's rerun poll in Oye, following attacks on electoral officers and election observers by party thugs, with about 36 suspects so far arrested by the police. Initial report has it that election in the two wards had been postponed indefinitely, with INEC Federal Commissioner, Stephen Mayah being quoted as saying that the Appeal Court ruling, which ordered the rerun election, gave the electoral body 90 days, hence if the people do not conduct themselves the elections could be postponed indefinitely. Results of five of the nine local governments where the rerun election took place were released on Saturday night with the Peoples Democratic Party, leading with 15, 420 votes, while Action Congress has 15, 026. But Action Congress candidate Kayode Fayemi is leading his People's Democratic Party's opponent, Olusegun Oni cumulatively. According to NEXT reporter on ground in the state, protest has resumed in the state capital, Ado Ekiti with people burning tyres to show their frustration with way and manner INEC had conducted itself so far. The protest commenced on Saturday night with the reports of ballot boxes being burnt in an INEC office in Ido/Osi local government. Twenty five people were reportedly arrested and more police officers have been deployed to curtail the protest.[/b] http://www.234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5408493-146/Election_re-run_in_Oye,_Ekiti_state.csp |

INEC chief resists pressure to announce fake results By Odunayo OgunmolaPublished TodayNewsRating: Unrated Resident Electoral Comm: I won’t go against my conscience Mrs Adebayo THICK black smoke billowing into the sunny sky. Angry youths shouting and motorists scampering off the road. All was tense yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) faced the big task of announcing the result of the rerun governorship election held on Saturday. INEC commissioner Mrs Ayoka Adebayo was under pressure to declare that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Mr Segun Oni won the election. She declined, it was said. Mrs Adebayo was said to have been told to announce Ido/Osi Local Government’s results, but she declined, saying the results were not signed by the agents. Besides, she said collation was not done at the appropriate place. Mrs Adebayo said she would not be part of any fraud, it was learnt, even as the pressure on her was intensified. Mrs Adebayo rejected the collation of results from Ido/Osi where PDP claims to have 15,939 votes and those of Ifaki 1 and 2, which AC officials alleged were loaded to make up the 15,000. Mrs Adebayo spoke last night of her ordeal. She told Ekiti State Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) chairman Dr Samuel Omoyeni: "I thank God; I’ve left the place. I can’t do anything against my conscience. I’m a Christian. "They want me to announce fake results. I can’t – at my age; for how much?" On her alleged illness. Mrs Adebayo said: "I’m hale and hearty; I’m not ill". I’m fine, She said she had informed INEC chairman Prof Maurice Iwu of her stand. On who has the right to declare the result, Mrs Adebayo said: "I’m the only one permitted to declare results, but I’ve told everybody that I won’t work against my conscience. "I promised fairness and I won’t change my stand. Thank you." The fate of the election, which was held in 61 wards spread across nine local government areas, remained shaky last night, with AC supporters and officials in insisting on the cancellation if Ido/Osi results for widespread violence and massive irregularities, including non-signing of results which were collated outside INEC’s office. The election, which failed to hold in the two wards in Oye-Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area for the second time, did not hold yesterday, following violence by suspected PDP thugs who were caught thumb-printing ballot papers ahead of the election scheduled for the day. They engaged policemen in a shoot-out, but were eventually overpowered. About eight of the hoodlums holding Pump Action rifles were arrested in the town, whisked to Ado-Ekiti and detained. The hoodlums were said to be on the entourage of Senator Femi Kila, which was stopped by policemen in Oye town. They allegedly had weapons concealed in two vehicles following Kila’s Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). Kila later drove into the residence of a fellow senator, Ayo Arise. The boys arrested by the policemen were later taken to Ado-Ekiti. There was a massive protest by irate youths in Ado-Ekiti who were enraged by the delay in announcing the remainder of the results. They accused the electoral agency of doing the bidding of The Presidency to manipulate the result in favour of Oni. The protesters, weilding leaves, warned against any attempt to impose on the people a result that is different from the ones collated at the council areas where the elections were held. They massed at the main collation centre at the Christ’s Girls Secondary School, Fajuyi, singing. A massive traffic jam ensued. The placard-carrying protesters were later joined by more people as the protest continued, with youths chanting "Rig and Roast" and warning that the state would be on fire if the wish of the people is subverted. Policemen fired gunshots around Fajuyi and Okesa, but the youths regrouped in other locations immediately they were dislodged from where they had gathered. Frightened motorists diverted their vehicles to other routes. Vehicular movement reduced on the streets. Riot policemen mounted checkpoints, conducting a stop-and-search on vehicles. The protest, which sent panic across the town, had subsided at the time of filing this report, but the youths vowed to continue today, "until the truth prevails". For the second time within 24 hours, some journalists were attacked in Oye by suspected hoodlums. A photo journalist with The Punch, Mr. Segun Bakare, had his camera damaged by the hoodlums who attacked the journalists on their way to Oye-Ekiti to cover the election that never was. Others attacked in front of Arise’s house were Dare Fasube of the Vanguard and David Idowu of Horizon Express. Bakare, who was wounded in the attack that took place in front of Arise’s house, was hospitalised. Gbenro Adesina, another photo journalist from PM News/The News and Kunle Ojo were attacked at Okemesi-Ekiti. http://thenationonlineng.net/web/articles/1572/1/INEC-chief-resists-pressure-to-announce-fake-results/Page1.html

It's funny how history always repeat itself and consume those that fail to learn from the previous. Just like in the 60s ithas started again from the South West when the northern oligargs represented by PDP today planted their agents in southwest represented by South west PDP today to force themselves on the masses. Then the likes of Akintola, Fani Kayode was used to usurp the people choice Chief Awolowo who ended in jail for treason in trumpt up charges. And that single action led Nzeogwu and his men to struck and we knew how that snowballed into a bigger problem that had never end till this day. |
