I will use this medium to urge APC to fight-on teeth for teeth with this brazen corruptions in the outcome of Ekiti voting. You will discover massive ballot stockings. No way in hell will Fayose-a rogue of state tresury wins-if the election was fair and transparent. Look at all these security forces-just to win-every means necessary? WOWza!
Congratulations to him, wish him all the best
If he actually won the election transparently,well, its the will of Ekitians. But,WOW! Its all I have to say-characters and accountability don’t count in nigeria politics.
