APC chieftain cautions security agencies against partisanship

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mr Ayoleke Adu, has cautioned the police and other security agencies that would participate in the processes of Saturday’s governorship election in the state against being partisanship. Adu, who addressed newsmen in Omuo-Ekiti, Ekiti East Local Government Area of the state, also advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), “to ensure that the election is conclusive and that results are announced promptly in a transparent manner, immediately after the polls.” Adu who spoke at an empowerment programme and campaign rally he organised in Omuo, said “all eyes are on the security agencies and INEC to provide a level playing field for all the parties and allow people’s vote to count.” He said “the only thing we are asking for is that the police and other security agencies in the state should be impartial and allow free, fair and credible election to hold on Saturday.” The APC chieftain expressed optimism that Governor Kayode Fayemi, would “win the election convincingly because of his track records and the determination of Ekiti people to vote for performance and continuity,” saying “those who think the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will use Ekiti election to penetrate the South-West, would be disappointed because the party has not done anything to deserve people’s vote in the region.” According to him, the Federal Government’s “abandonment of many projects in the state is affecting the fortune of the PDP in the state.” Adu also charged the Ekiti electorate to be vigilant and report any strange faces on the day of election to the police and other security agencies.
