The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) has been urged by the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State to prosecute all those indicted in the June 21, 2014 Ekiti governorship election rigging scandal, including the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.

The party said the call came in the light of unspeakable revelations and confessions by a former Ekiti State Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Tope Aluko.

Making the pleas, the Ekiti APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement on Monday said that the election fraud story cannot be pushed away just like that despite all the secret or dishonest activity by Governor Ayodele Fayose, to twist and cover the truth.

Olatubosun said, “By Aluko’s revelations, we are justified in our claim that our candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, never lost that election but was criminally toppled by a coup d’etat orchestrated by Fayose in cahoots with President Jonathan’s administration that illegally deployed money and the military to ensure victory for Fayose.

“It is interesting that more names are coming up in the biggest election scam ever witnessed in Nigeria with the alleged participation of Ifeanyi Ubah of the infamous Transformation Agenda for Nigeria, a shady campaign group of former President Jonathan. No wonder Ubah was compensated with an honorary fellow award by Fayose at the Ekiti State College of Education for a job well done.”

“We have seen the army tackle the military aspect of the Army Probe Panel report. We expect the police and the AGF to also toe the same path in coming out with the civilian component of the probe report and act accordingly.”

“Besides Fayose talking on the tape about how INEC gave him soft copies that he printed to win the election, the minister of justice must also compel the governor, who spoke on election result collation in the tape, to tell Nigerians which election result he was collating in Efon-Alaaye on June 19, 2014, two clear days before the June 21, 2014 governorship election,” Olatunbosun added.

It would be recalled that Aluko had claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan gave Fayose N4.7bn cash to prosecute the election. He made interesting revelations how the PDP under former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Ayodele Fayose used tax payers' money to win election.
