EKITI State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, on Monday, described the failed attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the Bayelsa State governorship election as clear invitation to anarchy.
The governor, who said it was shameful that the two elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under Professor Mahmud Yakubu were inconclusive, called on well-meaning Nigerians and the international community to rise up in condemnation of the plot to destroy democracy in the country.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said everything under Buhari was becoming inconclusive, adding that “if in three days, INEC could not conduct credible election in Bayelsa State of just eight local governments, one wonders what will happen during the general election in 2019.”
He saluted the courage of the people of Bayelsa State, describing them as “worthy heroes of democracy that stood their ground against agents of darkness.”
He also congratulated the Bayelsa State governor and the PDP candidate, Seriake Dickson, for having the people of the state behind him, adding that “the people of Bayelsa have shown that their power is more than that of the Abuja political oppressors.”
