The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has said that the revelations by a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has vindicated its claim that Governor Ayodele Fayose’s election on June 21, 2014 was compromised through heavy funding by the Federal Government.
APC Publicity Secretary Taiwo Olatubosun in a statement in Ado-Ekiti Thursday said that Obanikoro’s confessed that he gave millions of dollars in cash to Fayose to fix his election.
This according to Olatubosun had left Nigerians in clearer picture that Fayose won his election through fraud as the party(APC) had always insisted.
“We said it that Fayose was mobilised by the Federal Government with funds, military and INEC to win his election. Captain Sagir Koli’s tape said it all in an audio recording where Fayose himself said he collected INEC soft copies he printed to win his election before PDP State Secretary, Tope Aluko, told Nigerians through documents how the process was compromised to give victory to Fayose.”
Olatunbosun also berated the governor for denying the roles of the Federal Government in the alleged manipulation of the election, saying that the revelations by Obanikoro had put a lie to the governor’s claim that Zenith Bank and private individuals funded his election.
He said: “We have always insisted that Fayose is a fantastic kleptomaniac and a pathological liar whose integrity is in question as declared by an Ekiti State High Court judge in his suit against Femi Falana in a defamation case against the lawyer.
“It is baffling that Fayose that had been grandstanding that he did not collect money from the Federal Government now has no answer to Obanikoro’s confession other than lying that the former minister was compromised to give his confession to nail him.
