The Governor-elect of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, in a interview
with NIYI ODEBODE and ADELANI ADEPEGBA, had this to say about the
controversy surrounding his victory..
- Some people have argued that your victory was achieved through inducement of voters with rice and money?
Unfortunately, they (APC members) are the ones sharing money. They are
the ones that engaged in money politics. They buy all the buy-ables. I
have been out of office for eight years, where will I get that kind of
money to buy votes? The issue remains that somebody that eats your food
must be
convinced before he can vote for you. Can a meal of
rice induce somebody to vote for you? Fayemi gave cooked rice, I gave
uncooked rice. This is politics and you need everything to entice voters
and rice was shared by me, almost two weeks before election.
Yes. Why was Governor Fayemi buying buses and inscribing Iyaloja, Igbo
community on them close to the election period? Why was Governor
Fayemi’s wife donating garri to the farmsteads? Why was he giving money
to aged citizens and giving gifts including recharge cards to the
people? Why did his wife do that? These are petty antics of politicians
to draw voters and that does not change anything.
