GOVERNOR Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, in this
encounter, bares his mind on the setting up of a military panel headed
by Maj-Gen Adeniyi Oyebade to look into the roles of the military in the
June 21 governorship election in Ekiti among other burning national
issues. Excerpts:
His take on the Military panel
After I won the election, there was this effort to stop the swearing
in that generated a lot of controversy. There was one story of
photo-chromic military rigging and all that.
After Dr Kayode Fayemi conceded, the All Progressives Congress, APC,
still went ahead to challenge it up to the Supreme Court and we still
won. The Supreme Court dealt properly with the issue of impeachment and
it did not raise issues of whether the elections were won or not. It
talked about the issue of certificate that was raised in 2002 and it
equally raised the issue of non qualification as a result of
impeachment. The court dealt with it all and it was a landmark judgement
already reported in all law journals. So, ordinarily, I think this
should put paid to all these stories.
