2014: We Won’t Condone A Replay Of Anambra Episode In Ekiti – APC

The acting Vice-Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Chief Dele Falusi, has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, not to make a mess of the 2014 governorship election in the state the same way it did in Anambra, because the people will not take it lightly.

Falusi, who urged the people of the state to be vigilant ahead of the 2014 governorship election in the state, said the state would not condone electoral malpractice from anybody.
The APC chieftain, who was speaking with reporters at his country home in Itaji-Ekiti area of the state, expressed dismay that INEC had failed to learn from its past mistakes, thereby making it difficult for Nigerians to have faith in it.
He argued that with what happened in Anambra State recently, the fears and concerns expressed by Nigerians over INEC’s readiness to conduct free, fair and credible election in future polls have been heightened.
“Let me say clearly that INEC had failed the electorate and it is an insult to the generality of the people of Nigeria.
“We are talking about election in one state and we are having all these mess. It is like some people don’t have shame any longer.
“What if it is going to conduct election for the whole nation? INEC had failed”, he said.
According to Falusi, the electoral umpire might want to repeat the sad episode in Ekiti State but warned it to have a rethink.
In his words, “We have seen the signal in the state that we might be the next target but we will reject it. Ekiti will cry out to the whole world to hear us.
“We are getting prepared here and we won’t take it lightly with INEC”, he warned.
