Fayose tells fg to disregard military inquiry on ekiti election
A timely and relevant topic!
Here's a summary of the situation:
On July 16, 2022, Ayodele Fayose, a former Governor of Ekiti State, has urged the Federal Government to disregard the military's inquiry into the 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State. Fayose, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, has been accused of rigging the poll by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued by his media aide, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose described the military's inquiry as a "witch-hunt" and a "desperate attempt to tarnish his image." He claimed that the APC was using the military to settle political scores and that the inquiry was a "clear case of political vendetta."
Fayose also accused the APC of using the military to intimidate and harass his supporters, saying that the party was trying to silence him and his supporters ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The military had earlier announced that it would conduct an inquiry into the 2018 election in Ekiti State, following allegations of electoral malpractices and violence. The inquiry was seen as a move to investigate the circumstances surrounding the election and to ensure that justice was served.
However, Fayose's call for the Federal Government to disregard the military's inquiry has been met with skepticism by many, who see it as an attempt to avoid accountability and to undermine the integrity of the electoral process.
What do you think about this development? Should the military inquiry into the 2018 Ekiti election be disregarded, or should it be allowed to proceed to ensure accountability and transparency in the electoral process?
