The governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayo Fayose has challenged former Governor Kayode Fayemi to produce and declare the identities of the soldiers who allegedly connived with some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders to rig the June 21, 2014 governorship election in his favour.
The governor who spoke with journalists yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, in reaction to Fayemi’s statements while featuring on a radio programme in Akure, Ondo State last week, declared that he is ready to meet with the soldiers Fayemi is bringing to the court.
Fayose who welcomed the idea of making the matter a subject of litigation said the soldiers would be able to explain and produce evidence of how and where they committed the electoral fraud in a court of competent jurisdiction.
He said, “The soldiers should come to give evidence and explain where and how they were instructed to rig the election, whether they were instructed to thumb print ballot papers, or they were instructed to snatch ballot boxes, how many of such ballot papers they thumb printed and the number of boxes they snatched”.
An audio clips allegedly recorded by one Captain Sagir Kolis of the Nigerian Army, had last week went viral in social media, revealing how the rigging of June 21 Governorship election in Ekiti State was allegedly planned and executed by some PDP leaders and military officers.
Fayose who blamed Fayemi for latching on the tape to explain away his defeat, said “Fayemi is only playing to the gallery. For those who heard my voice, it was me accusing General Aliyu Momoh of colluding with the All Progressive Congress to rig the election
