It's one of d reason I dislike dis Fashola of a tin, he's less concern abt the masses, just d way he did in Lagos. Burning down Tejuosho market and building a world class market calling it it's meant for poverty alleviation, tel m if the masses can afford the price of each shop in tejuosho.

BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORKJAN 31, 2016
After nearly one year since SaharaReporters broke the news of Ekitigate scandal, our correspondent has obtained documents detailing how Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, together with former Minister of State for Defense Musiliu Obanikoro and others, used more than $35 million (N4.7 billion) from arms funds disbursed from the Office of the National Security Adviser.


Evidence reveals specifically how Fayose rigged the Ekiti State election
In addition to documents provided to SaharaReporters, our correspondent had an extensive interview with the Secretary of the Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) TK Aluko. Mr. Aluko, the former right-hand-man to Mr. Fayose, was instrumental in both the successful rigging of the Ekiti gubernatorial election and Mr. Fayose’s political ascent.

Mr. Aluko’s intimate knowledge of the Ekiti State election is also because he was Mr. Fayose’s Chief Returning Officer, who signed the results on his behalf.

Mr. Aluko disclosed to our correspondent that plotting to rig the Ekiti gubernatorial election for Mr. Fayose began as early as March 23rd, 2014 when former President Goodluck Jonathan ordered Anambra state politician Chris Uba to release $2 million to Fayose following the primary election in Ekiti state.

“Fayose knew from the beginning of his gubernatorial ambition that he wanted to use the military and funding from the presidency to rig the election. He had much of the idea already in his mind,” Mr. Aluko revealed to our reporter.

Following their first meeting with Mr. Jonathan, Mr. Fayose, and Mr. Aluko received $2 million from Mr. Uba in “100 dollar denominations.” They used this money for when they returned to Ekiti, according to Mr. Aluko’s account.

Documents in SaharaReporters’ possession, and accounts by Mr. Aluko, reveal that the next meeting between Mr. Fayose and Mr. Jonathan took place in April during a council meeting. However, “we [Fayose and Aluko] knew that we needed a coalition of support to convince Mr. Jonathan to provide funding and military support.”

It was then that Mr. Fayose, together with Mr. Aluko, reached out to Mr. Obanikoro—the failed gubernatorial candidate from Lagos State and then junior Minister of Defense in 2014—and Jelili Adesiyan, the Minister of Police Affairs in 2014, to aid in convincing Mr. Jonathan to support Mr. Fayose’s gubernatorial bid.

“The coalition of Obanikoro, Adesiyan, and Fayose worked to convince Jonathan that the Southwest was his key to securing his presidential election in 2015,” Mr. Aluko explained.

Mr. Fayose, Mr. Aluko, Mr. Obanikoro, and Mr. Adesiyan met with other top PDP leaders, the military chiefs, and Mr. Jonathan in April. These leaders included Osun State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Iyolia Omisore, PDP Chairman Adamu Mu’azu; the Chief of Defense Staff Alex Badeh, Chief of Army Staff Lt. General Kenneth Minimah, and others.

By the end of the meeting, “the political leaders all convinced Jonathan that the continuity of his tenure in office depended on him providing military and financial support to Fayose during his race,” Mr. Aluko explained.

On June 11th, ten days before the Ekiti State gubernatorial poll, Mr. Fayose met again with President Jonathan, Mr. Obanikoro, Mr. Omisore, Mr. Badeh, General Minimah and the Chairman of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Engineer Jide Adeniyi to discuss the election plot.

According to Mr. Aluko, “President Jonathan looked at Badeh and Minimah and said that ‘Fayose will stand for me as Commander -In-Chief.’”

“The message was clear to the men in the room, that the election shall be delivered for Fayose by hook or crook,” Mr. Aluko added.

At this meeting it was decided that “the ONSA will empower Obanikoro and Fayose with $35 million [N4.7 billion] for the election.”

Mr. Aluko said that Mr. Obanikoro promptly delivered the huge sum of money to Ekiti State on June 17th, the following Tuesday. He added that Mr. Fayose “signed and authorized that transfer of money from Obanikoro. However, only Obanikoro can produce that paper with Fayose's signature.”

“This money was used to be shared among people to help buy and rig the election in Ekiti, with the military getting paid first,” Mr. Aluko stated. He added that money was paid to everybody, including members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), “we paid individuals, LGA Chairman, members of the National Civil Defense Corps, and other security agencies—but the military was first.”

According to the payment scheme provided, the military was paid substantial sums of money to facilitate the rigging in Ekiti State. Each military strike team, in Hilux vans, was given N1 million to facilitate in repressing voters and delivering the election for Fayose. Money was also given to voter blockage teams, PDP leaders, “special Ekiti leaders” like religious figures and opinion makers, as well as election observer groups.

The funding template for Ekiti East, obtained by SaharaReporters, brandishes Mr. Fayose’s signature at the end and details how much money each Ekiti State politician would receive. The document shows that each Party Agent would receive N20,000 (totaling N1.9 million), Returning Officers at ward level would receive N50,000 (totaling N600,000), Returning Officers at LGA level would receive N100,000 (totaling N100,000), Ward Chairmen would receive N250,000 each (totaling N3 million), and each of the 95 polling unit officials would receive N200,000 (totaling N19 million).

The documents obtained by SaharaReporters also details the extensive military organization, concocted with the leadership Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, involving no less than 24 security teams-at least 1,700 heavily armed security agents-cross Ekiti State including DSS agents, NSDC personnel, and various military units.

The day of the election, due to the careful planning by former President Jonathan, Mr. Obanikoro, Mr. Fayose, Mr. Momoh, and others allowed Mr. Fayose to ascend unlawfully to the State governorship. Mr. Aluko described election day in Ekiti as “feeling like a coup” as the military and politicians hijacked polling units, abducted opposition members, and restricted the movement of citizens.

In addition to these revelations, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed that the office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) did remit N4.7billion naira through an account at Diamond Bank controlled by two sons of Obanikoro -Gbolahan and Babajide between June-December 2014.

Please, i need advise from my fellow nairalanders on how to go about this. I work in a company in Lagos and just last week our MD contracted one consultant who told all of us to resign our appointment with the company.

He went ahead to tell us that he has placed an advert already on tuesday guardian that if we are still interested we should reapply and come for an interview with other applicants.

The company is owing us some months salary.

Please my fellow nairalanders my question is whether it is legally right to force all your staff to resign while you are owing them salary?

pls my bros, don't just try to resign, let d decision be their own to resign you, they don't want to pay you and if you resign they will say, u resigned voluntarily which may cause u not to get any pay for but if they forcefully resign u, then you can contact a lawyer which will fight for you.

A former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Babatunde Olorogun–Etti has defected to the All Progressives Congress(APC), saying that the Lagos State chapter of the party is dead.

Speaking in Lagos Island shortly after defecting to the APC, Olorogun -Etti called on Lagosians to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari to develop the country.

He charged the Buhari- led government to immediately steer the ship of state away from economic hardship, political wrangling and insecurity.

Olorogun-Etti lauded the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for piloting the party along the path of greatness in Nigeria, particularly, the South-West geo-political zone.

He described him as a dynamic and brilliant politician.

“The development, growth and peaceful co-existence of the state should be paramount to us. APC is large enough to accommodate everybody. Senator Bola Tinubu has been fair to everybody no matter which divide of the state such a person comes from.

“Therefore, any citizen of Lagos State who loves this state, who believes he has a stake in the development of this state with a passion, has no reason to be in PDP,” he said.

Olorogun-Etti reiterated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos chapter, is bedevilled by problems declaring that the party has died finally in the state.

“It’s time to face facts: PDP is finished in Lagos State. PDP can no longer compete in any serious way in Lagos. The local government election in the state will be a formality,” he said.

He urged his teeming supporters in the state, particularly in Lagos Island, to go to their wards and register in the APC.

No matter what, Wike remains the governor of the state. The highest the tribunal will do is demand for a re-run and we all know Wike will still come out triumphant.

Mi o pity yin rara. crying over a spill milk, campaign after election always yield no result.

Getting there gradually, shame to all government holders embezzling the masses wealth

otunsman:
Tinubu kind of politics is not healthy for a demicratic nation like Nigeria.If at all Nigeria practice a democracy the issue of godfatherism and imposition of candidates by tinubu will be ayr criminal offense and punishable by law.Why will only one man be dictating on who should hold an elective position?Tinubu ought to be cooling off in kirikiri maximum prison for this dastardly act.

Tinubu did his mathematics wella on nigeria poltics and achieve it, I demur if dey know you in ur street, try do something and let's c d outcome. Stop unnecessary castigation.

gbl01:
I think APC should free the guy. Enough is enough.

Free who? If Fayose has a second tot he wouldn't av bin bhavng like a Tout b4 d election, he bought front page of many newspaper laying false and untrue allegation against APC and GMB, to d extent of dragging his family linen in d mud. Omo osan ti nko ponpo ba iya e.

I will remind u dat if GEJ should av won dis election, fayose would have made d lawmaker lyf unbearable and make dis lyf a hellfire for them.

I am eagerly waiting and praying for his impeachment not because of anything than turning his mother to a laughing stock for d whole world.
To all mothers, I give kudos to u, may u never born a child like Fayose that will drag ur linen in d mud. Amin.
Love ur mother and click LIKE. Thank u all

It's only in Nigeria such useless warning will b given to SA, ie they can kill enuf Nigerians within dat period or wat? Other African country av started dealing with them, Naija still given warnings. God save my ppl there o

Nazeeboy:
Gbam! E don happen be that. See david west dey talk like him too buhari need him advice. Even u buhari no need your advice.

U are a big time liar, GMB need advice frm every Nigerians

He has forget so soon, dis lyf is giv and take, they shld wait for court to decide, anyhow if it is PDP dat won, Fayose will do more than dat. A man dat has no integrity for his Mum and his entire family,
Meanwhile, 90% of Nigerian's kno dat Ekiti election was rigged according to d Audio Tape and GMB was voted in as President without an iota of demur.
