There are no doubt that PDP won the Ekiti governorship race through tactical rigging as more than half of the registered voters were intimidated and disallowed from accreditation and voting proper by the security agents that were deployed for that purpose by the federal government.
A reliable source said, "If you are not there, you may say the election was free and fair but the truth was that the election was marred by planned security manipulations that made the process to be against the majority that were disallowed from participating in the process."
"They militarised every strong base of the APC while inflated result were recorded for PDP in any area where they have strong supports". The source added.
According to the incumbent governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, after congratulating the newly governor-elect, Mr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, said of the military siege against his supporters. "To members of our party, our campaign team and indeed all Ekiti people who defied the siege on our state to cast their votes for our party, I salute your exemplary courage and doggedness in the face of harassment."
Thank you for staying the course. The incidences of brazen harassment, intimidation and allied infractions on fundamental human rights, which many of you suffered in the hands of agents of the state, would be documented and communicated to the appropriate authorities, for the records.
