How APC, PDP rigged Ekiti election – Observer recounts experience

The Coordinator of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) Accredited Observers Mission has described the just concluded Ekiti State Governorship Election as a “sour and retrogressive experience.”

Recounting his experience during Ekiti the election, Folarin Olayinka, a Human Rights defender and the National General Secretary of (CDHR) in a statement said both major parties, APC and PDP resorted to vote-buying and intimidation of voters.

Condemning the act, he blamed the politicians for the irregularities during the election, exempting the INEC and the security agencies from the compromised voting process.

His statement read “The foremost political parties APC, PDP deprived the people of the right to choose freely who to govern the State.

“They both took advantage of the impoverished masses when they resulted to vote buying, and intimidation of voters. It is sad that our democracy is progressively backward, I’m afraid if we will ever get it right under this crop of political actors. Since INEC was just there to set up and complete the process, little can we blame the umpire but the politicians.

“I am under no obligation to be economical with the truth, the Ruling Party APC and the major Opposition party PDP appeared to be bad examples to our democracy through their conduct, especially the vote buying syndrome and total disrespect for the election rules.

“The political parties took advantage of the orphans who had obviously been impoverished. I have not come to apportion blame to party A or B, rather I have only summarized my experiences in that short sentence.

“I am not contesting the outcome(result) in anyway rather I owe my conscience the obligation to state my experiences accordingly.

“We maintained our independence throughout the assignment and I passionately felt sad that despite the INEC and Security agencies efforts, our politicians still acted retrogressively. I was expecting a process devoid of the barbaric tradition of vote buying.”

Recall that a Coalition of observer groups and Civil Society Organisations, that monitored the Ekiti governorship elections on Saturday had rejected the emergence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Kayode Fayemi, as the winner of the polls.

In a press statement signed by Comrade Haruna Farouk and Nze Adachi Okoro, the group said the result does not reflect what they saw on the ground, promising to release its findings on Wednesday, July 18, which will include details of the malpractices that marred the election.
