EKITI DECIDES – 2018 : EKITI ELECTIONS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO RIG, SAYS INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Nigerians that the July 14th Gubernatorial election in Ekiti State will be Difficult to rig.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Prof. Abdulganiy Raji, gave the assurance in Ido Ekiti during a Town Hall meeting tagged : ‘Vote not Fight’ to sensitise the youths, said INEC had gone digital and that the voting would be monitored electronically
Prof. Raji told the people to be vigilant and insist on their votes being counted.
The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, was also of the same charge, saying God will deal with whoever planned to plunge the state into crisis during the July 14 governorship election.
Speaking yesterday, while presenting the candidates of his party, Prof. Kolapo Olusola and Mr. Kazeem Ayodeji Ogunsakin, to the Ewi of Ado, Oba Rufus Aladesanmi Adejugbe, the governor stated that the state deserveds peace.
“Anybody that brings violence to this state would come under the judgement of God. Anybody that attempts to manipulate this state would come under the judgement of God. We handed the state over to God and we pray that anybody, including myself and any other politician, that brings violence to this state would face the judgement of God,” he said.
Fayose explained the reasons why he threw his weight behind the deputy governorship candidacy of the 39-year old Ogunsakin, predicating this on the enormous support he got from Ado Ekiti people, who gave him the largest votes in 2014.
“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have supported Ogunsakin but for the fact that he has performed admirably well as Chairman of Ado Local Government Area and hails from the town, which gave me highest votes to re-elect me in 2014,” he added.
