Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has revealed that some military officers are ready to give evidence in court over the audio clip that caught senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members and military chiefs plotting how to rig the June 21, 2014 governorship election in the state.
Speaking on a live programme, APC Change Hour, on an Akure, Ondo State-based ADABA 88.9 FM monitored in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, Fayemi said the postponement of the 2015 general elections was not about security but about a high-wired plot to rig the polls.
The audio clip was aired on the radio station with the alleged voices of Governor Ayo Fayose; former Minister of State (Defence), Musiliu Obanikoro; Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesiyan; Osun State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Iyiola Omisore; and Gen. Aliyu Momoh haggling about rigging plans ahead of the poll.
He said the postponement was about a "desperate government and a desperate President that is afraid of a loss and using a military that became a willing tool."
The former governor said the PDP-led administration was trying to re-enact the rigging perpetrated in Ekiti with the alleged misuse of the military at the forthcoming general election.
Fayemi stressed that the upper echelon of the military was guilty of treason against the state with its role in the dramatic postponement of the polls, saying the first duty of the government through the armed forces is security of lives and property.
He deplored a situation in which the military institution has been desecrated with the army generals being harassed and intimidated by politicians desperate to rig elections for their party.
