President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, Mallam Shehu Sani has said that the Ekiti Gubernatorial elections which held on June 21st can not be said to have been free or fair.
Sani made the claims despite widespread acclaim and recognition from local and international bodies given to the Independent National Electoral Commission and other stakeholders on the conduct of the elections.
“The PDP did not win Ekiti; they captured Ekiti through the strategy of force and inducement. Governor Kayode Fayemi’s acceptance of defeat is more for peace than for justice. Those in Abuja reveling in the victory over APC are simply toasting to the cruel triumph of might over morality. The will of the people cannot be said to be freely expressed with a record military planes hovering over the skies of Ekiti and soldiers on the ground,” he said.
Sani, a senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State, added, “Those who accepted, endorsed and embraced Ekiti elections as free and fair are by extension giving their imprint to the adoption of it in the 2015 general elections.
“We fought and ended military rule in Nigeria. We will not tolerate its return through the backdoor. Drafting the military to supervise elections position them to partisanship, drags them into murky political waters and negatively affect their professionalism.
“The Ekiti elections is neither free nor fair irrespective of the acceptance of Governor Kayode Fayemi. The cruelty and Brigandage by the security apparatus in the days to the election created an atmosphere of fear, apprehension and intimidation that can in no reasonable assessment be considered as fair. – See more at: http://thebusinessdispatch.com/ekiti-poll-not-free-and-fair-shehu-sani/#sthash.jL5yxbD8.dpuf
