THE Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation (AFCO) has urged Nigerians,
especially the security agencies, to hold the All Progressives Congress
(APC) responsible, if anything happens to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in Ekiti State.
Reacting to allegation of plan to burn the state INEC office by the
APC, AFCO, in a statement issued by its director-general, Dipo
Anisulowo, said “APC members should not be allowed to burn the INEC
office in Ado-Ekiti the way they burnt the INEC office in Ido-/Osi Local
Government, during the 2009 governorship rerun.”
While describing the APC allegation as suspicious, Anisulowo said
the security agencies must not treat such allegation with levity.
“If they are saying that plans are being hatched for ‘strange fire’
occurrence at the INEC office in Ado Ekiti and all the materials
relating to the just concluded governorship election will be burnt,
security agencies must ask questions.
“This is more so that the APC spokesperson, Mr Segun Dipe, who
issued the statement on Wednesday, also knew that the fire incidence
would be blamed on some faulty power surge, he (Segun Dipe) must be made
to give further details on the alleged plot,” Anisulowo said.
While saying that there could actually be plans by the APC to burn
the INEC office, Anisulowo said; “The modus operandi of the APC and it
members is to accuse others of planning to do what they have already set
machinery in motion to do.
“It is obvious that the APC as a party has tried to discredit the
June 21 governorship election, by inventing various arguments, including
claim that the election was photocromically rigged.
“If the party is now coming up with allegation of plan to burn the
INEC office, it could be a pointer to a sinister plot by the APC people
to burn the INEC office so as to be able to sustain their argument that
the election was rigged and that they would have succeeded in upturning
the election results at the tribunal, if INEC office is burnt.”
