Osun, Ekiti People ‘ll Resist Election Rigging – Fani-Kayode

Former minister of aviation and tourism, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has declared that unlike what obtained in Anambra State, the people of Osun and Ekiti states will resist any attempt to rig the forthcoming governorship election in favour of any political party.

Speaking yesterday in Osogbo at the Osun State personality interview forum “News Point”, Fani-Kayode noted that Yoruba people are known for their aversion to cheating from any quarters.
He called on the nation`s electorate to reject Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government in 2015, saying another mandate for the party would spell doom for Nigeria.

He also accused President Goodluck Jonathan`s government of promoting corruption, fanning the ember of ethnicity, poor management and increasing tension in the country, adding that his government has failed woefully to address the myriad of problems bedevilling the nation since its inception.

He said the ship of the nation is heading towards the rock, noting that Nigerians are now more divided than before in terms of ethnicity and religion.

His words: “Since his inception of office, crimes have been on the increase. Boko Haram members are killing people as at least 7,000 innocent people have been killed, and nothing has been done by the president to stop the killings. Kidnapping is on the rise; baby factories have developed in the land; the conclusion is that all is not well with this nation.

“In the economic sector, he met a robust economy when he came on board four years ago. The total debt of Nigeria when President Obasanjo came on board was $30billion, but the total debt was wiped out before he left government; this shows that Nigeria had 0% debt profile. This has never happened in the history of this country and even in Africa.

“Five years after, the total debt of this country is now $20billion. This shows that our children have been enslaved and the future generation enslaved too.”
