The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has denied the revelation of the former secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tope Aluko, that he used the military to rig the 2015 governorship election.
Fayose described the allegation as a new distraction from the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ekiti State.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday, the governor said that Aluko was bitter and determined to seek revenge over his refusal to appoint him Chief of Staff.
“For Aluko to be taken seriously, he must first have to report himself to the police to be tried for perjury and committed to prison for three years, since what he is now saying is different from what he said under oath at the Election Tribunal being the only witness called by the PDP and Governor Fayose.
“If after giving evidence under oath at the tribunal that the Election was free, fair and credible and that security agents, including soldiers performed their duties creditably well, saying something else more than one year after is an admittance by Aluko himself that he is not a stable character.
“It is also a demonstration of the fact that giving the right offer tomorrow, the same Aluko can also address the press tomorrow to deny all what he said today. He can even deny his own existence since he can deny what he said under oath just because he was not made Chief of Staff.
“Therefore, we won’t bother ourselves, responding to what a political parasite chooses to say because he wouldn’t have said what he is now saying today if he had been made Chief of Staff to Governor Fayose and it is sure that if he called today, and given the right offer, he will begin to sing another song,” he added.
