Fayose's election, a coup --Aluko .. as Fayose's aide react
(Nigeria) Sacked Secretary of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State, Dr. Temitope Aluko has said that
the June 21, 2014 Ekiti State gubernatorial poll that procuded of Chief Ayodele
Fayose as governor was never an election, but a coup against the people where
the state was under siege, using federal might.
Aluko, who it was gathered was promised the post of Chief of
Staff, but never got the position, apologized to the people of Ekiti for being
one of those who played major roles in bringing Fayose, saying that what took
place in the guise of election was a high level manipulation, adding that with
the support of the presidency, Ekiti State was literarily under military siege in a military operation,
designed to weaken every opposition.
Reacting, however, Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka has described the expelled Aluko as
a new distraction from the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State,
saying he does not deserve response from sane minds.
Olayinka said Aluko was already beclouded by his desperation
to seek revenge against Governor Fayose because of the governor's refusal to
make him his Chief of Staff, such that he (Aluko) was not mindful of committing
the criminal offence of perjury.
The governor's aide who said it was shameful that the APC had
refused to accept a scandalous electoral defeat they suffered 19 months ago,
asked whether it was also soldiers that rigged the 2015 presidential,
senatorial, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly elections that
the party lost woefully in Ekiti.
He said; "For Aluko to be taken seriously, he must
first have to report himself to the police to be tried for perjury and
committed to prison for three years, since what he is now saying is different
from what he said under oath at the Election Tribunal being the only witness
called by the PDP and Governor Fayose.
"If after giving evidence under oath at the tribunal
that the election was free, fair and credible and that security agents,
including soldiers performed their duties creditably well, saying something
else more than one year after is an admittance by Aluko himself that he is not
a stable character.
"It is also a demonstration of the fact that giving the
right offer tomorrow, the same Aluko can also address the press tomorrow to
deny all what he said today. He can even deny his own existence since he can deny
what he said under oath just because he was not made Chief of Staff.
"Therefore, we won't bother ourselves, responding to
what a political parasite chooses to say because he wouldn't have said
what he is now saying today if he had been made Chief of Staff to Governor
Fayose and it is sure that if he called today, and given the right offer, he
will begin to sing another song.
"Also, the APC bad losers in Ekiti State should know
that it will take more than recruiting and paying a disgruntled Aluko to
discredit an election adjudged by both local and international observers,
including the United States government as free, fair and credible.
“They will probably need to pay Independent National
Electoral Commission, NEC to tell Nigerians that an election it conducted, in
which an incumbent governor lost in his own local government was not credible.
"As per his claim that $37 million was given to the
governor for the election, the governor got financial support from various
sources as it is usual of anyone contesting election and it is not for to begin
to advertise in the media the level of support the governor received from
individuals, corporate organizations or groups.
“However, if money belonging to the APC is missing and they
suspect that the money was stolen by Dr Goodluck Jonathan to fund Ekiti State
governorship election, they can approach the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC."
