Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State took his audience by storm when
he said that his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), has
discovered how the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
short-changed it in the June 21 Governorship Election in the state.
The governor dropped bombshell while featuring on the Yoruba Edition of the monthly progamme ‘Gomino S’alaye’ monitored by Daily Independent in Ado-Ekiti.
Although Fayemi was not specific on the nature of fraud allegedly perpetrated by the commission, he assured that all the dirty deals would be uncovered in no distant time.
“I want to say that we have discovered some fraud in the last election. But it is yet a matter for public consumption. This discovery had certainly gave us the hope that our party would win Osun election,” Fayemi stated.
He also hinted that the agitation for creation of additional local governments actually predated the creation of Ekiti State itself.
“Even when Ekiti was still part of the old Ondo State, many of our communities had pushed for either splitting or creation of additional local governments in their respective constituencies.
What we have done so far followed due process,” the governor stated.
In what appeared to be his response to Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) which ordered his members to stay off new council areas, Fayemi said workers have no business in the process of creating new councils.
He urged any worker who may wish to play politics to leave the Civil Service and face full time politics.
