Femi Fani-Kayode has released a statement calling out APC for alleging
that President Jonathan was in Lagos to rig the state governorship
election in favor of PDP's Jimi Agbaje. The statement below..
"It is not true that the President has any rigging plan for Lagos
and neither do we need any such plan because our party is very strong
there. The problem that the APC has and the reason that they make such
asinine and stupid allegations is because they actually believe that
they own Lagos State and all those that live there. They are now in a state of panic because for the first time in 16
years, they are facing a formidable challenge and they know that Jimi
Agbaje of the PDP is likely to win. The truth is that there was no secret meeting in which rigging was
planned by the President and neither
is it true that materials were
smuggled in to rig Lagos State. Jonathan conceded defeat and congratulated Buhari even though there
were many questions about the card readers, the role of INEC and the
so-called votes that APC allegedly won in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Kaduna
and in one or two other places in the North. The figures for the APC were inflated in those states whilst the votes
that Jonathan scored were purposely suppressed and reduced in places
like Abia and other parts of the east by INEC. This is the bitter truth
even though many people are reluctant to say it or admit it. Till today, many of us are
wondering what really happened to the INEC commissioner in Kano and
whether it is true that he and his whole family were murdered after he
privately expressed his misgivings and regrets about inflating the
figures for the APC during the presidential elections. Rather than spitting in Jonathan’s face and rejecting his friendly
handshake by accusing him of plotting to rig Lagos, the APC should keep
their mouths shut and bury their heads in shame for what they and their
friends in INEC did during the presidential election.” the statement read
