For its part, the PDP's candidate, Professor Eleka, promised to resume his mandate by asking for compensation. 19659002] Addressing reporters in his office at Ado-Ekiti, Professor Eleka accused the CENI of manipulating the exercise in favor of the APC candidate.
His words: "You are all aware of the unfortunate and dangerous events of the past 24 hours, in which our election as governor has been hijacked by political spoils taking advantage of the federal power to pervert the electoral process, subvert the will of the Ekiti people, and viciously steal the warrant voluntarily and freely given to me by our people.
and I won the election by an overwhelming majority, receiving more than 70% of the legal votes and winning in almost every 16 regions of the local state government.I therefore reject the falsified results that are conveyed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, which would have given the election to the Congress of all the progressives and the to his candidate Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, this is the most daring election flight in our recent history.He must not remain.By the grace of God Almighty nt and your support, I will continue and resume my mandate.
"To fudge this election, the APC has been using its well-advertised but obviously anti-democratic and" hateful "federal power to intimidate, harbad, victimize, oppress and brutalize the PDP leaders, Members and the voting public all over Ekiti.This brutal and barbaric process, which started long before the elections, did not spare Governor Ayo Fayose and I, as the whole world had seen and had It is regrettable that the harbadment continued even after the elections.
"On Saturday 14 July, the security agencies and the CENI increased the placing, put all the caution to the test, returned to their promises of impartiality and conduct credible elections; they sided with APC and Fayemi much to the dismay of our party, myself and the good people of the state. Ekiti Despite the concern we had raised earlier, the ag These security services not only supported but also oversaw the blind arrest of our leaders and agents.
"The CENI has reneged on its promise to count, declare and paste the results of the polls at each polling station.The CENI has never transmitted the results of the voting centers as promised before. were illegally displaced in the INEC offices while our agents were prevented from following the process.
"INEC also allowed APC to vote in secret when it was evident that the numbers would still not fit. Yet, when all these schemes still failed to give them the numbers they needed, they stopped the announcement of the results, causing a deliberate power outage at the snack center, without no alternative source of energy provided for a long time. "
" Without a doubt, what happened in Ekiti is the APC model for the 2019 general election, where they mapped Rivers and Water. Akwa Ibom as states they must capture at all costs as they are now trying to do in Ekiti. It is now left to opponents and opponents, especially presidential candidates in 2019, to stand up to be counted in the fight to roll back the rampant fascism of President Muhammadu Buhari or throw in the towel without a fight.
not only a sad day for Ekiti but also for democracy in Nigeria. Nothing demonstrates it better than the sadness that has enveloped our dear state since they've announced their convoluted result. "
