‘INEC’s decision is advanced rigging’
Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has portrayed the choice of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to perceive Jimoh Ibrahim as the governorship hopeful of the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a ploy to fix the race ahead of time for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fayose, in an announcement yesterday, said it was deplorable for the constituent body to "remember somebody who did not develop through any referred to appointive process as the applicant of the PDP".
He, be that as it may, cautioned Nigerians to oppose one party rule and undemocratic inclinations purportedly being played out by the Federal Government.
He said: "The APC has chosen to fix the Ondo State race even before it is directed and this is a dismal analysis for our fair procedure that was close flawlessness before the appearance of this APC government.
"The thing to ask INEC is; having acknowledged the hopeful exhibited by the Makarfi-driven PDP National Caretaker Committee for the Edo State decision, depending on the judgment of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, in spite of the Abuja Federal High Court arrange around then, what has changed? Clearly, it is either INEC is playing twofold standard or has plunged into the field.
"With the advancement in Ondo governorship race and the choice of the INEC, plainly appointive body is a division in APC-drove Federal Government.
"By this advancement likewise, I am vindicated that other political gatherings and partners are currently challenging race against INEC.
"Clearly, INEC at each race receives new technique to secure undue triumph for the APC and it gives the idea that the motivation to swing Nigeria to a one-party state is day by day being heartlessly sought after by these components not disapproving if vote based system and our nation are obliterated.
"With the distress of the APC plot and its INEC partners, Nigeria and Nigerians confront sadness.
"I cautioned and I am as yet cautioning that there is peril ahead in all segments, particularly the economy, wellbeing, security, and most
critically, the appointive procedure.
"In any case, I should say that I am not baffled but rather it will be and stay on record that I cautioned Nigerians.
"Additionally, Nigerians ought to be helped to remember how the outdated National Party of Nigeria (NPN) attempted in 1983 to attach all states in Nigeria to itself by turning the then Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO) to an arm of the gathering. Aftereffect of the NPN's assault on our vote based system was the crumple of majority rule government then.
"The question is; who will spare Nigeria from this oppression and autocracy? The way these individuals are going, Nigerians may wake up into the suspension of the National Assembly and the Constitution sooner than later. Indeed, even majority rule structures in the 36 states won't not be saved.
"It is clear and obvious that the legal has been seriously irritated to accommodation.
"The purported progressives ought to, hence, be sufficiently brave to ascend against this unabated exemption. They ought to understand that nobody will be saved the minute this developing one party rule is left unchallenged".
