- Aregbesola says Ekiti election was rigged& fruadulent
Governor Raufu Aregbesola of Osun state has made a statement that i found quite surprsing. Aregbesola yesterday said the reason Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi lost his re-election bid was due to fraud in the polls.This is the first time i have heard the Ekiti elections which saw Ayo Fayose as a winner,was rigged.Everybody involved ,even opposition as well as on lookers have said the election was fair and proper.
Governor of Osun State, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola yesterday said the reason Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi lost his re-election bid was due to fraud in the polls.
He said this during his campaign in Ikirun, while also saying that it is impossible to rig him out of the August 9, 2014 governorship election in the state because he still enjoys the support of the Masses.
He said “They perpetrated fraud in Ekiti but we are looking at them. They said that my days in office remain 43
days and I just laughed. What they did in Ekiti is not possible here in Osun. Osun is different and they know it. In 2011, all Yoruba states voted for Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate but Osun people voted for Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who was the Action Congress of Nigeria candidate. We are different in Osun. Don’t let them scare you.
“The people here today have shown that they are solidly behind us. We are not angry about the development in Ekiti State because it is part of democracy. Ekiti people have made their choice.”
But the Aregbesola has contradicted himself with his own words,how can he say the "election in Ekiti was rigged" and in the same breath say it is democracy and the Ekiti people have made their choice?
