The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned that a repeat of the Ekiti rigging strategy where soldiers manipulated the ballot to thwart any attempts of the incumbent Governor retaining his seat, won’t be tolerated.
In an audio tape that at once went viral, Musiliu Obanikoro, Ayo Fayose, Iyiola Omisore and the police minister barked orders to a shaking army general on rigging the vote.
National Publicity secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said a repeat would be resisted.
“As the clock ticks toward the D-Day, we are compelled to alert Nigerians, local and foreign election observers and indeed the international community to the strategy being employed by the PDP-led Jonathan administration to manipulate the elections, using what we call the “Modified Ekiti Rigging Strategy.”
He added, “It is no longer news that a Captain in the Nigerian Army, Sagir Koli, has exposed how the administration used the military to rig the governorship election in Ekiti on June 21, 2014. According to Capt. Sagir, soldiers were put at the behest of designated PDP officials at each of the 16 local governments in the state to work with the officials to rig the elections.
“Once the PDP officials pointed out any APC leader in a particular local government, such a leader was either arrested and detained or simply hounded into hiding. APC leaders who were arrested also had the funds in their possession, including money to pay party agents and for other logistics, confiscated as they were detained till well after the election,” Lai Mohammed said.
On Monday, a federal high court sitting in Lagos ruled that the Nigerian army has no role to play in the conduct of elections.
