Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the call for the postponement of the Edo State governorship election by the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Police, saying “It is obvious that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is physically challenged and afraid of losing the election and the party is using the federal government security agencies to cause a postponement of the election so as to be able to perfect its new rigging plans.”

The governor, who raised the alarm that “democracy is in danger” under the APC government, said; “obviously, within two years of APC government, Nigeria is in both economic and political recession and this should worry all true lovers of the country.”

Reacting to the DSS and Police position that the election be postponed because of security threat, Governor Fayose, who spoke in a statement made available to Newsflashngr.com through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said he was worried that “democracy in Nigeria has now graduated from inconclusive elections to postponement of elections in other to return APC candidates at all cost.”

He said; “Within two year, the APC government not only destroyed the economy of Nigeria, it has destroyed the legacy of free, fair and credible electoral process bequeathed on the country by the PDP.”

The governor said; “The questions Nigerians must ask the APC-led federal government are; what security threat can overcome over 50,000 security personnel in an election holding in just one out of the 36 States in Nigeria? If election must be postponed in just one State because of security threat, what will then happen in 2019 when elections will be conducted in the entire country?

“Another question is; were they unaware of the security challenge when President Mohammadu Buhari went to Edo State to campaign for the APC yesterday?

“No doubt, this is a game being played by the APC because it has become so imminent that the party cannot win the election if it is held on Saturday as scheduled.

“The postponement is obviously meant to give room for the APC to perfect a new rigging strategy and lovers of democracy in Nigeria should begin to see how the APC aims at perpetuating itself in power
beyond 2019 even now that the party has been rejected by Nigerians.

When the security forced the INEC to postpone the Feb 14, 2015 general election,
Why didn't Fayose blame PDP then alleging PDP of trying to rig the election using the postponement?

Fayose on Edo ‘poll shift': Nigeria is in political recession



Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the call for the postponement of the Edo state governorship election.

Fayose lamented that “within two years of APC government, Nigeria is in both economic and political recession”.

He alleged that the party made the move to have “enough room to perfect a rigging strategy” ahead of the poll. He also wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari visited the state to campaign for his party when he knew that it was not safe.

Citing intelligence report, the Department of State Service (DSS) and the police had advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reschedule the election.
