Dr. Tope Aluko, the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain who blew the whistle on the alleged rigging of the June 21, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State, says Governor Ayo Fayose cannot deny the allegations he’s made thus far.
Aluko, the Ekiti state Secretary of the PDP, had on January 31, appeared on Channels Television, where he revealed that the election which produced Fayose was rigged and also that former President, Goodluck Jonathan released $37 million and security forces to manipulate the polls.
Subsequent to his revelation on national television, Aluko spent 12 days in the custody of the Department of State Services, five days with the police and another five days with Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Speaking on Wednesday, Aluko said Governor Fayose has been living in a state of fear since his confession.
While addressing a press briefing in Ado-Ekiti, Aluko said he provided oral, documentary and electronic evidence to security agencies on how the election was manipulated.
The politician also stressed that the petition which which got him arrested was written by the All Progressives Congress.
“The APC sent the petition to the DSS, police and EFCC. I was shocked when the government said I’m Judas. The government is the Judas because it betrayed me.”
“I am still a member of the PDP. It was the APC which sent the petition. During the interrogations, I was asked so many questions and I answered truthfully. I gave them the answers, because I said I wanted to do restitution and that is what I’ve done.”
“So if Lere (Olayinka) is now saying that somebody is a Judas. It is Lere that is the Judas. I know what transpired between Lere and I but I won’t say it here.”
“If Governor Fayose is running away from his shadow that is his problem. The security operatives did not maltreat me and I don’t know if they would charge me to court, because I’m actually on bail.”
“I don’t know if they will invite me again. If they do, I will go. I have said all I have to say on Channels Television and my mind is free. I worked for Fayose. We did everything together, he cannot deny it. And if he is now talking about glorifying somebody and calling me Judas, he is the Judas.”
