THE accusation and counter-accusation bordering on election rigging between incumbent Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) continued on Thursday.

Mr Fayose, belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has on several occasions accused INEC of plans to rig the July 14 governorship election in the state in favour of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The electoral body has also been denying the accusations challenging the governor and his party to back their allegations with evidence.

The governor’s allegations ranged from; compromised card readers, electoral staff; bribery of security officials; padding of sensitive election materials; indiscriminate arrest of top functionaries of the state government; among others.

Speaking at the grand rally of the PDP’s campaign train of the party’s candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, Fayose told the electoral body that they (INEC) would not be handed a breathing space to carry out their alleged rigging plan.



“INEC we want to tell you, we know your plans that you want to rig for APC, we will follow you bumper to bumper,” the governor said.

He also told the APC to forget about winning the gubernatorial election as the state belongs to the PDP.

“Ekiti is a no go area, we are not interested in violence.

“I have been your governor for the past four years, nobody has been attacked, no politically motivated violence in Ekiti,” he said.

Fayose also criticised the ongoing nationwide killings in the country challenging PDP to come back into power at the national level.

The governor also expressed optimism that his party will coast to victory at the end of the poll.

This election is really a litmus test for both APC and oshomole

Fayose government failed woefully in Ekiti state but Fayemi known to be a weakling and bloody woman rapper is not a good candidate, Segun Oni would have been a head slammer for the job.

The guber election is going to be a tough one for the loud mouthed Fayose as all his rigging techniques has been marred by obanikoro and i can only see the literate woman rapper cruising to Oke ayaba government house. Congrats to APC and the overhyped literate citizens of Ekiti state.

Your thoughts and sights are obviously limited..... We know Ekiti people are not fools and can't never take back their vomit

If they are not fools why do they take back fayose who has been their long time vomit? Ekiti people don't know what they want, most of them are just literate fools.

I don't see that zone as a serious state for any party, they never determined who wins or lose unlike other SW States.
