Guber Poll: Ekiti APC Calls for the Prosecution of Fayose, Others

By Correspondent

Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Thursday asked the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, to see to the prosecution of the state governor, Ayodele Fayose, and some police officers mentioned in the alleged criminal manipulation of the June 21, 2014 governorship election. The mentioned police officers are; Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Bala Nasarawa, former Ekiti Mobile Police (MOPOL) Commander, Gabriel Selenkere and others. In a petition signed by the State Chairman, Olajide Awe, the state APC specifically urged the IGP to investigate the roles of the police in the alleged poll fraud. The petition reads, “Criminal Complaint Conspiracy, Bribery, Threats and Use of Military to Perpetuate Electoral Fraud Against the People of Ekiti State; Investigation of the role of the Nigerian Police Force in the Ekiti State Governorship Elections June 21, 2014,” The APC also called the attention of the IGP to the content of an audio tape detailing criminal acts planned by those mentioned or whose voices were captured on the tape. Awe said, “The import of this audio recording is the revelations of criminal acts, which were planned and perpetrated by these men. “The above listed persons conspired to tamper with the constitutionally and statutorily laid down procedure for the conduct of the election.” Meanwhile, Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, argued that the Supreme Court decision on the leadership dispute within the Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in which the court said it lacked jurisdiction to review its own judgment should be enough for APC members to stop living in the illusion that the Supreme Court judgment on the June 21, 2014 governorship election can be reviewed.
