In rise to the viral audio clip that surfaced the
internet of how Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, former minister of
state for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro and some other political leaders
rigged the 2014 Ekiti Governorship election, a new development to the
report has emerged.
Contrary to the denial of Governor Ayo Fayose and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, that they were involved in a meeting where strategies for rigging the 2014 Ekiti State governorship election were discussed,
the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, who was also at the meeting, has admitted that the meeting actually took place.
Mr. Adesiyan, however on his own side of the story, said the conversation in the leaked tape was an argument between Mr. Fayose and Mr. Momoh after the former accused the later of being bribed by the then incumbent governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi.
In his words; “Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job,”
“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.
“Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.”
Last week, a secret recording of how Governor Fayose allegedly colluded with some other political leaders to rig the Ekiti state governorship election, surfaced on the internet, with many reactions following hours after the audio was leaked.
