Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state has insinuated
that the Presidency has a case to answer after the office of
the President was mentioned on a leaked recording on the
eve of the governorship election in Ekiti state.
Fashola who spoke on Sunday after he collected his
Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC, at his polling unit in Surulere
area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria stated that some of the
persons on the audio cannot deny it.
It would be recalled that a New York-based security firm
helped analyse the voices of the characters in the leaked
recording on plans to rig Ekiti election and the company,
Guardian Consulting, said Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti,
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, Senator Iyiola Omisore, Hon.
Abdulkareem and Caleb Olubolade were the persons on the
tape.
Guardian Consulting said it conducted a forensic
examination on the discussion and compared the voices to
public record samples of the known individuals.
In Governor Fashola’s reaction he said he was sure of some
of those who spoke on the recording, especially the one
who claimed that the promotion of security officer was in
his hands.
“They have drawn the presidency into it. They said they
were acting on behalf of the presidency. I am sure that
fellow and even his grandchild will know that, that is his
voice, so how he wants to deny it, I don’t know.”
“His own grandchildren will recognise his voice and many of
us have already done. This must open the mind of the
Nigerian people to what it takes to win an election. When
Governor Aregbesola was celebrating, I know what he went
through, because we have been through it, we have been in
opposition here, and when we win elections in Lagos as we
have always done, we know what it takes to do so, to keep
votes that are legitimately cast for us.
“Those people in that audio are the examples of some of
the kind of base desperation for power that you can never
see. So, why ordinary Nigerians are struggling in the sun,
trying to collect their PVCs, trying to vote, you see what
they are doing at night, you see how seriously that party
that they represent takes your vote and your effort and your
sacrifice for democracy. I am sure now that Nigerians are
getting wiser, because all of the things that they thought
was done in the dark, is now out in the open,” he stated. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
