If this is real, kudos to Sahara reports! |

I do not doubt it's authenticity. I do not understand the 'serious allegation' she has raised in the letter the Inspector-General is referring to. Can't someone just resign from a job? In reality, do you really need a reason to resign from a job? I tell you, Nigeria is a joke! And I will maintain that we need to redefine the basis of our existence as a nation before w can move forward. It is clear the 10 yrs on, the so-called 'democracy' is not working. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by bawomolo(m): 9:01pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
what does the whole black race have to do with an election held in Ekiti? She gets a thumbs up for not being part of a sham. I do not understand the 'serious allegation' she has raised in the letter the Inspector-General is referring to government jobs usually get more scrutiny |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by sbo(m): 9:04pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
bawomolo:That is the 'Nigerian' in her. Not wanting to take responsibiity for individual actions. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by Kobojunkie: 9:05pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
sbo: Well, we may never really know the truth of what happened. She would need to come out and tell the Nigerian people what the serious allegations are. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by bawomolo(m): 9:10pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
don't we honestly already know what the allegations are? This was obvious considering the violence leading to the election she obviously felt uncomfortable for her to resign. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by Kobojunkie: 9:13pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
bawomolo: We have assumed facts, does not mean we have THE facts. We assume she is maybe going to tell us the PDP are the enemy here, isn’t it better to, for the first time, get FACTS. Isn’t it high time we start dealing with facts, rather than continue speculating? Don't we, as a people, deserve to know the truth? |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by bawomolo(m): 9:16pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Kobojunkie: wait and see. Things would come out this week. I believe Nigerian investigative journalists are getting better. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by blacksta(m): 9:16pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
wow black rice - Nigeria is the most populous black race on earth |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by Kobojunkie: 9:18pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
bawomolo: Lol My Fingers are crossed here!! Definitely hoping they will go after her to make sure she speaks up, instead of feeding us with more speculations. However, I am not sure how she would open up if she really does believe her life was threatened for her refusal to announce to fake results. If she really feared for her life, why did she choose to stir the pot in the first place. Is this her first election? Is this the first "rigged" election for her, or maybe it is the first for her after she grew a conscience. |

Word is she refused to endorse the Idi-Osi local govt. elction claiming that the Agent never signed it before it was brought to the INEC Headquarters in Ekiti. Independent Observers said ballot boxes at Idi- Osi were snatched. When the boxes were brought to the Headquarters she refused to announce the result because it was not signed by the INEC Agent and the people that brought the boxes were forcing her to announce the unsigned result. By the way in idi-Osi PDP has 15,939 and AC 3793. Word from observers is that the turnout in that area was not close to 16,000. |

Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by Oxone(m): 9:32pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
thats the most most honourable thing to do rather than participating in the fraud something must have gone wrong somewhere |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by ssRhino: 9:35pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Oxone: That is a good way to look at it. However, sometimes, there is a need to be able to say NO and not just retire. |

The untold stories behind the reported resignation of Nigeria’s resident Electoral Commissioner, for Ekiti State, septuagenarian Mrs. Ayoka Adebayo. So she had been a part of the rigging before now?? Interesting!! |

Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by proudly9ja(m): 10:13pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
I read yesterday in the punch newspapers that she was summoned to Abuja and the REC from another state was asked to take over from her. Apparently she had refused announcing the results from a ward because she felt it had been stuffed with ballot papers and it had not been signed. She stated at that time that her conscience and her belief will not allow her do it. If this resignation is true, then kudos to her. I do not agree with those who are questioning her integrity based on her past or with those who are asking her to name the irregularities she refused to be a part of. For goodness sake, the woman has not told you she is fighting any injustice neither has she said that she she is perfect or has always been perfect. Maybe she used to be a part of the injustice in the past, maybe not but this time she has refused to be part of it and in a country like Nigeria where we find it difficult to find people like this, I give her kudos. We may not understand the gravity of what she has done. First, she has refused loads of money that must have been offered her, secondly, she refused the order of the Vice President of the Federal Republic via her 'oga', Iwu(ruwuru). We all know how dangerous this is in our dear country and I won't be surprised if the Govt comes out tomorow and tell us lies about her and probably going ahead to reject her resignatiion letter and prolly sacking her. I have seen and heard worse cases. But again, we are entitled to our opinions. for me, if the letter is genuine, kudos to her again. |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by Kobojunkie: 10:22pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
proudly9ja: Sure, elections can and have been rigged so many times before but does that then give us the right to accept that everyone that makes such claim is telling us the truth? If this same woman whose conscience seemed to have been missing in action back in 2007 can change, why is IWU or the PDP an exception? ROFLMAO!! ( I figured since you are doling out forgiveness wine, why not be fair and pass it around to all). In this same country, we have so many other Christians working in the same government, fighting injustice wherever they find themselves. Most of them knew exactly what they were getting into before they took the job. Some of them are whistle blowers and are doing exemplary work from where they are. We have people like Dora “the explorer” who claims to be a Christian, are we to assume that the reason why Dora has not resigned so far is because she has been bought by the same government? Sure, she is allowed to resign if her conscience does not allow her continue but she made allegations and I am more interested in her ability to provide us some proof of those allegations rather than leaving us to, for the umpteenth time be left with nothing but her words to run with here. Some claim she resigned to save her life, would that also mean she may never tell us what really lead to her resignation since I bet those who she claim were after her life would definitely not allow her to speak up, so what is the use of her resigning then? Just like the whole Ribadu case, we may never know the real truth and that sort of pisses me off the most. |

Events surrounding the inconclusive Ekiti governorship rerun got more dramatic yesterday as the Resident Electoral Commis-sioner (REC) of the Indepen-dent National Electoral Com-mission (INEC), Mrs. Ayoka Adebayo, was nowhere to be found. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=142003 |
Re: Ekiti Inec Resident Commissioner Resignation Letter by proudly9ja(m): 10:34pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
@kobo If Iwu and PDP and even the devil today decide to thread the 'righteous' path, I will gladly without second thoughts forgive them! If Iwu had organised a free and fair election in Ekiti or even tried to no matter whose horse is gored, I tell you, I will give him kudos. Note however, that I am not in anyways saying that this woman is perfect or not, I am only commending her for this one exemplary act! Before I pass judgement on any situation, I try to put myself in the person's shoes. If this woman was my mother/grandmother or even related to me in any way, Ild have advised to do exactly what she has done ie resign and keep quiet and live her life. Like I said, she has not come out to tell us she is a freedom fighter, nay, she has resigned because her ''conscience will not allow her to take part in the irregularities going on the Ekiti elections''. As Nigeriens, unless we want to pretend, we all know what this means. She may not have proof infact, for situations like these, there are no proofs just what she prolly saw with her eyes therefore, its her word against others and we know who will win that. As per your Dora example, I was and still am a Dora fan. If you check my posts on Dora threads, I have defended her as much as I can. I may not understand what she is doing but I still and will still stand by her if not for anything but for her past records until she proves me wrong but then again, this thread is not about Dora so let's not derail it. The woman has resigned, not because she thinks her resignation will bring free and fair elections to Ekiti but simply because she has decided to reroute her steps. |

Kia. I'm tired of Nigerians/ Nairalanders 4 real!! This woman has at least appeared to do something good, and there are people here questioning her integrity. I don't get it! Can't we at least commend the good she has appeared to have done b4 we start our skeptcism!! Why would anyone find it easier to celebrate her reportedly sullied past, than to appreciate her new and heroic present!! Please give me a break! |
