Executive rigging: Audio recording shows how Obanikoro, Fayose, Omisore rigged Ekiti Election

By Ehi Ekhator, Naija Center News.

An audio has suddenly surfaced on the internet providing evidence that the Peoples Democratic Party leaders planned and rigged the last election that made the President Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose as the winner.

The audio recording was released by Sagir Koli, a captain in the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State, who fled the country over fear of being attacked after releasing the video..

The captain recorded the audio on 20th June, 2014 when he was asked to accompany his Commanding Officer, Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, to the meeting at Spotless Hotel in Ado-Ekiti

Plans to Rig Elections in Favor of PDP

The eyewitness testimony and sworn affidavit by Capt. Koli corroborates the audio recordings of the PDP officials’ plans to manipulate the Ekiti elections. The plotters devised several plans intended to bring about an unlawful victory for PDP candidates in Ekiti State races, including the forging of INEC ballots, the use of the military to facilitate access for PDP operatives and supporters, the creation of a list of APC members to be arrested, and the deployment of a Special Team of military personnel to prevent APC voters from reaching the polls.

The PDP officials told General Momoh that those soldiers on election duty “must work hand-in-hand with the PDP agents” and ordered the arrest of selected APC stalwarts as that could “greatly assist the party during the election including DG campaign organization for Dr. Fayemi, Mr. Bimbo Daramola,” Capt. Koli said in his affidavit.

General Momoh, confronted with criticism by the group, defended himself by saying that “we have done a lot of [APC] arrests.”  It would be recalled that there were arrests of APC members in Ekiti during the period.  It would also be recalled that many members of the security offices paraded around Ekiti in disguise.

The PDP collaborators also demanded that the military block APC members’ access to the electorate and that moles should “be careful because the consequence will be severe.”

Soldiers were instructed set up roadblocks leading to the polling stations and prevent APC supporters’ access.  Additionally, vehicles and individuals with a special sticker labeled “National Security Task” were allowed movement anywhere, and were only distributed to PDP agents.

General Momoh informed the group that there were “about 6 special teams. I have one strike force. I have almost forty soldiers after deployment,” evidently an organized system being used to manipulate voter turnout.

Capt. Koli’s statement explained that based on these strategies, “they succeeded in rigging the Ekiti State election with victory in all the 16 Local Governing Authorities (LGAs). These really inspired them and they were with the euphoria that same would happen in Osun State.”

Indeed, leading into the Osun State elections the Brigadier General posted there was told to take a three-week leave during the elections.  His position was temporarily filled by General Momoh, who then repeated the same fraudulent tactics in Osun.

Just as the APC are complaining of the rigging of the PDPs, a video had earlier surfaced on the Internet showing how Governor Rauf Aregbesola used some political thugs to rig the election.

The video shows some boys in Eru Ibo thumb printing all round for APC governorship candidate.

Nigeria election has never been free and fair as wildly speculated. Both parties involved are usually after winning by using the gullible Nigerians to carry out t heir act.

Those complaining of rigged election are usually those who could not deliver to their boss who hired them to rig the election.

Below is the audio of Osun election.
