Rememember Tope Aluko? the former Ekiti PDP secretary who appeared on 'Politics Today' a programme on Channels Televison some weeks ago, and gave a breakdown of how the 2014 Ekiti governorship election was rigged in favour of the PDP governorship candidate, now Governor, Ayodele Fayose. He has settled his rift with the Ekiti governor.
NigerianEye gathered that Aluko yesterday night reconciled with Governor Fayose
Aluko and Fayose met at the governor's house yesterday night where they made up. Speaking to newsmen afterwards, Fayose said Aluko remains his boy and son;
"I'm the father of all, for whatever that happened, I'm the father and I should accommodate everybody. Aluko remains my boy, my son" he said
Aluko said there was no condition given for their settlement.
NigerianEye recalls that Aluko, who was chairman, Security and Intelligence Committee of Fayose Campaign Organisation, appeared on national TV some weeks back, apologizing for being part of the Ekiti Project, which was the major campaign point of the PDP that had been jettisoned by Governor Fayose.

Aluko, who was the Chief PDP agent and signed the results for the election, also disclosed how former President Goodluck Jonathan allegedly gave Fayose $37 million cash to prosecute the governorship election.
Aluko had also testified in camera before the military panel that investigated the role of the military in the Ekiti election.
NE recalls that Aluko, revealed that he was part of Fayose’s inner circle during the election, and he alleged that Jonathan initially gave the incumbent Ekiti governor a first tranche of $2 million in March 2014 for the primary election, noting that this cash was collected at the NNPC headquarters in Abuja and taken to Fayose’s private house in Abuja before it was moved to Ekiti.
On why he was coming up with the revelations, Aluko said: “Before the election, Fayose, Femi Bamishile and I jointly swore with the Holy Bible on a sharing formula after we must have won the election. We agreed that Fayose would be governor, Bamishile his deputy and I Chief of Staff. But the moment he got into office, Fayose reneged on the agreement and left me in the lurch. More worrisome is the fact that Fayose has derailed from the original Ekiti project we envisaged”.

What a news!!!! In politics,there is no permanent interest with no foe. Apparently,he has been offered some kind of juicy position. Just wondering why he did all that in National TV.Anything can of course happen in Nigeria,it is not news that OBJ is seen in with PDP chairman,not strange to see all case against Saraki disappear over night.
ReplyDeleteNigerians should not be surprised if this Aluko guy drops dead or found dead mysteriously any day from now.This might be the perfect plan and opportunity to sort a traitor out because Fayose can claim they were not enemies any longer and therefore hand nothing to sort him out for
