Alleged Election Rigging: Fayose’s Co-conspirators Must Be Jailed, Says Ex-Rep

Governor Ayodele Fayose

•  Urges FG to offer pardon to Aluko

A member of the seventh House of Representatives, Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has called on the federal government to jail  those who
allegedly conspired with Governor Ayodele Fayose to rig the Ekitim governorship election.

Faparusi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, described the revelations of the embattled Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Tope Aluko, as mind-boggling, and urged the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami not to trivialize them. Speaking in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, Faparusi said making those

fingered in the alleged electoral malfeasance to face justice would sanitise the country’s electoral process and serve as deterrent to
those with nefarious intention to circumvent the due process during polls.

Faparusi described the bench warrant issued against Aluko by a Magistrate court in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday as rather preposterous and misdirected. 

The APC Chieftain was of the view that those accused to have participated in what he succinctly branded as ‘coup d’ etat’, should
first face justice, rather than calling for Aluko’s head .

Faparusi hailed Aluko for his bravery under this context, saying coming out to give the revelations indicated that he was a good and
patriotic  Nigerian, who should be celebrated rather than condemned.

“In an advanced clime, the conspirators , including Governor Fayose would present themselves for prosecution instead of instigating the arrest of the whistle blower, I mean Aluko.

“The AGF can only use Aluko as a principal witness. In this case, the revelation of Capt. Sagir Koli coincided with what the PDP secretary had said and to me it must enjoy high level of believability among Nigerians.

“I charge the FG to jail  those that had perpetrated electoral perfidy by using the military to usurp a democratically elected government and planted Governor Fayose here in Ekiti.”
