Former Minister of
Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the alleged gross misconducts
experienced at the Osun re-run election today.
The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted supplementary election in four local
government areas having declared the last Saturday’s governorship election
inconclusive.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode said
the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government muslced the opposition
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) using state apparatuses.
He wrote:
“The police and army prevented
PDP agents from watching the polling booths. APC thugs threatened and beat PDP
voters.
“Journalists and election
observers were prevented from monitoring and covering the process. Many of them
were manhandled and beaten up. The APC openly bribed voters with 100,000 naira
each. Is this an election? No sir!
“The truth is there was no
election in Osun today. It was violence all through. It was daylight robbery
and theft. It was a violation of the dignity, rights and sovereignty of the
people of Osun state and Yorubaland.
“As a people we have been
down this road before in 1964,1983 and 1993 and there were serious and severe
consequences. Those that have done this today have refused to learn from the
lessons of history and I have little doubt that sooner or later there will once
again be grave consequences and they will reap what they have sown.
“This is no longer about
PDP or APC but about the dignity and liberation of the Yoruba people. Those
amongst us that have chosen to collaborate with the barbarians that seek to
keep us in slavery and bondage will pay a heavy price.
“We are not intimidated.
They stole our votes, robbed us of our victory, raped our dignity, rubbished
our self-respect and violated our rights. Many of our people were insulted,
intimidated, humiliated, beaten, wounded and maimed and our supporters were
chased away from the polling booths by thugs abd security agents.
“They subjected us to all
this but we remain confident and strong. Our heads have been bloodied but they
are not bowed. There will be a day of reckoning for this great evil that has
been visited upon our people and that day will soon come. Whatever they do or
say we know that God is with us and He will never forsake us.
“In the end justice shall
be done and the victory shall be ours. Buhari, Tinubu, Oshiomole, Aregbesola
and their APC are playing with fire and that fire will soon consume them.”
