Riggers in Ekiti will be roasted -Bola Ahmed Tinubu
A national leader of the All Progressives
Congress, Bola Tinubu, says the Peoples
Democratic Party can only win the Ekiti
governorship election by rigging.
He however warned that any one that attempts
to rig the election in the state will be roasted.
He added that the PDP was aware that it could
only win the state by manipulating the election
because the party had not presented an
alternative manifesto to challenge the ruling
APC government in the state.
The former Lagos State Governor said this in
Lagos at a fundraising dinner hosted by ‘Friends
of JKF’, a statement said on Sunday.
He said, “Those in Abuja have sent their agent
down again for a repeat performance; they are
not ashamed. Defend your votes, it is your right.
No matter how much they complain, you will not
see them do the campaign because they want to
alter the mathematics.
“If they cannot do subtraction and addition
successfully during the governors’ forum, they
will not be able to do it during this election. I say
it again, if you want to arrest me, come on,
arrest me. If you rig this election, we’ll roast
you.”
While describing Fayemi as a dependable
candidate, the APC national leader said Fayemi
would deliver the dividends of democracy to
Ekiti people.
Also speaking at the event, Fayemi and his Osun
State counterpart, Rauf Aregbesola, called on
the Independent National Electoral Commission
to rescind its decision not to use Voters Card
Reader machines in the forthcoming Ekiti and
Osun states governorship elections.
Fayemi, while throwing his weight behind the
use of VCR machine in Ekiti and Osun elections
slated for June 21 and August 9, respectively,
stated that Ekiti people would leave no stone
unturned to ensure that their votes count,
counted and announced in Ekiti State and not
elsewhere.
He added that INEC would not only be
encouraged but also be pressured to use the
VCR machine to state its commitment to free,
fair and credible polls in the two states.
Fayemi, who said the seven years of the PDP
rule in the state was full of criminality and
brigandag, stated that the collapse of the PDP
candidate, Mr Ayo Fayose, at Ifaki Ekiti during a
campaign was an act of God, revealing the true
colours of the enemies of the people.
Also speaking, Aregbesola stated that the PDP
was already collecting the voters identification
numbers on voter cards with the aim of cloning
the original cards, adding that the only way the
cloned cards could be detected as fake was not
physical examination but through the use of
electronic voting system.
