The Olusola Oke Campaign Organization on Tuesday raised another fresh
\nalarm over imminent plans by Kaduna State Governor , Mallam El-Rufai , the
\nOgun State Governor, Mr Ibikunle Amosu and other top officials in the
\nPresidency to subvert the popular wish of the people by rigging Saturday’s<\/span><\/span>
\nGovernorship election in Ondo State with plans to compromise officials of
\nthe Independent Electoral Commission (INEC)<\/p>\n

Making this disclosure in Akure, the Chairman, Media and Publicity of the
\nOrganization, Mr Kolawole Olabisi, disclosed that another in the desperate
\nact of the these powerful Nigerians in their vaunted bid to win the
\nelection for the Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) at all cost
\nwas again perfected at a meeting in Abuja on Monday<\/span><\/span> with El-Rufai
\npresiding.<\/p>\n

According to Olabisi, the meeting was held with a very high ranking INEC
\nofficial (name withheld) who was mandated to ensure that the election must
\nbe skewed in favour of the APC candidate, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu no matter
\nwhat.<\/p>\n

His words: We are crying out again, and for the umpteenth time, that top
\nofficials of the APC masquerading under the cloak of working on the
\ninstructions \u00a0of the Presidency have sworn that they will annex Ondo State
\nby rigging the Governorship election coming up on Saturday<\/span><\/span> in favour of
\ntheir prot\u00e9g\u00e9.<\/p>\n

“At another in the series of meetings they have been holding to perfect
\ntheir plan in Abuja on Monday<\/span><\/span>, the Kaduna State Governor flanked by his
\nOgun State counterpart directed this high ranking INEC official, in the
\npresence of two top officials of the Presidency who were in the meeting
\nostensibly to impress it on this INEC official that the Presidency was in
\nsupport of the plan.<\/p>\n

“Only last Saturday, another member of this plot and Minister of Solid
\nMinerals, Dr Kayode Fayemi had boasted publicly at the grand rally of the
\nAPC in AKure that Akeredolu would win the election whether anybody like it
\nor not. He had equally told his braying crowd that they would do whatever
\nit requires to win a try. And ever since, we have been subjected to series
\nof bloody attacks\u00a0 and destruction of our banners, billboards and vehicles
\nbelonging to the Candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Chief
\nOlusola Oke in their bid to cow us.”<\/p>\n

While calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately call to order
\nsome of his top officials, especially his minsters from the South West
\nZone, the Governors of Ogun and Kaduna State who are all out in their
\ndesperation towards the 2019 Presidential ambition, to capture Ondo State
\nwhich they intend to use as a springboard for the conquest of the zone,
\nthe Oke Organization warned that the “people of Ondo State are not animals
\nthat could be caged.”<\/p>\n

According to him :”Let them be aware that the people of Ondo State would
\nresist any attempt at imposing unpopular candidate on them by whoever
\ntries it.\u00a0 They are not animals that could be captured and caged at will
\nby anybody as they have been boasting they will so do. In the fullness of
\ntime, those who want to do conquest at all cost by subterfuge must be
\nready to face the full wrath and fury of the people.<\/p>\n

“On our part as members of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), we have
\nrefrained from retaliating for the series of attacks aimed at us because
\nwe want this election to be peaceful and orderly. But those who take the
\nsilence of the people of Ondo State for signs of cowardice better beware.<\/p>\n

“We are begging Mr President to please call for order and enjoin the INEC
\nto do its job as an unbiased umpire and not allow itself to be used as the
\nwhole world is watching events unfold. The wish of the people of Ondo
\nState must be allowed to manifest without any underhand antic, that is our
\nprayer Your Excellency.<\/p>\n

“We also want to appeal to the Chairman of the Independent National
\nElectoral\u00a0 Commission (INEC) Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to call his men to order
\nby staying far away from desperate politicians who are all out to rig
\nelection because the success of the administration, as far as election
\nmatters are concerned depends on the uprightness and transparency and the
\nINEC which had in the past been hailed as a truly independent Electoral
\nCommission. This is our demand, no more, no less,” Olabisi pleaded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
