A former minister of state for
works, Dayo Adeyeye, has again lambasted Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose.
He described the governor as
someone whose words are “foolish” and “stupid”.
The former spokesman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said he had always advised Nigerians to ignore
Fayose and his claims.
Adeyeye, who defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the Ekiti governorship election, was
reacting to Fayose’s clam that Kayode Fayemi’s victory was a stolen mandate.
He told Vanguard: “We are dealing
with someone who is capable of any form of absurdity and we are happy to send
him out.
“Fayose uses his mouth to say whatever
he likes, no matter how stupid or foolish it is. I don’t know anybody who
should be taking the words of Fayose serious. He lost the election fair and
square.
“How did the rigging take place?
Where was the falsification of the results? Where did ballot snatching take
place? We will meet at the tribunal and his stupidity will further be exposed
by the tribunal.
“I believe Fayose is saying all
these things to cover his shame because of the fact he was boastful before the
election and was now disgraced. The election was free and fair. I have been
part of elections in the state for long, and this was the freest and fairest.
“This is the first election in
Ekiti where no shot was fired by the security agents. A person was killed in
2014. We know what happened in 2014. I want to see what Fayose will be
contesting in the court.
“I heard he was talking about
falsification of results and I want to say, that is the easy thing to prove in
court. All you need to say is that there is a discrepancy between the figures
given to your agents at the polling units and the one tallied at the collation
centre.
“I want to see how he is going to
establish that because agents of all political parties have results given to
them at the polling units. Were these results different from the ones at the
collation centres that were added? Those figures are authentic.
“I don’t know the basis for their
argument. Some places we beat them with five hundred votes and some places they
beat us with seventy votes, like Efon local government area.
“It is not true that security
agencies intimidated anyone and their presence contributed to the success of
the election because Fayose does not believe in doing things without cutting
corners.”
