In the aftermath of the Ekiti election, a lot has been said to be the reason why the rather ‘performing’ incumbent Governor of that state, John Kaode Fayemi, lost to the former Governor, Ayodele Fayose, who is said to be a looter and a murderer. Some who are happy that Fayose won the election have also declared that though he’s their Governor but they don’t want him as their child’s role model but they would rather want their child to emulate the gentility and educational prowess of the incumbent Governor John Kayode Fayemi. I wonder how that makes any sense. You don’t want him as your child’s role model but you want him to be your Governor?! Funny country!
Probably, the last may have not been heard of the Ekiti election. The ‘loser’ conceded defeat; hence some political analysts had called him a honourable man who is rewriting the political scripts of Nigeria’s polity. Some argued that he did that to allow peace to reign as the results of the election could incite violence, given the militarisation on ground by the by the Presidency before, during and after the election. However, a third group believe he wastoo quick to make that concession, saying Fayemi sold his lunch to the dog because of his gentility as the election was massively rigged and it might look free and fair but too far to be credible.
One important point that’s being raised amongst the political class in Ekiti State is that the election was ‘photochromically’ rigged. The political party that sponsored the incumbent Governor; APC (All Progressive Congress) said the PDP (People’s Democratic Party) that sponsored the Governor-elect used a high-tech electoral malpractice system that has never been witnessed or used in Nigeria to rig the election.
During my investigations, I then realised that indeed there was ‘photochromic’ ballot papers and these ballot papers were used in Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe, who has performed woefully in office and known to be a dictator and whom almost lost his re-election in 2008 but enjoyed landslide victory in July 31st Presidential election. International observers and oppositions as declared that Mugabe’s victory is ‘Made In Israel’.
ISREALI CONNECTION:
It’s no news to many Nigerian that the PDP-led government at the centre are deeply involved with many Israeli deals, especially under this administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. We have read how Israelites are the one handling security outfits in Aso Rock to how they are awarded billions in contracts by this same government to monitor activities of Nigerians on internet especially Facebook and Twitter after the Occupy Nigeria protests. Reports also revealed that high delegations of Nigeria’s Presidency are always going in and out of Israel to strike deals that will turn Nigeria to a one party state.
The company NIKUV is Israeli owned.It features majorly in electoral malpractices and African countries are their major client; countries like Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Botswana, Ghana and Lesotho. The company footprint was noticed in Africa in 1996 when the company was taken to court in Zambia on allegation of election rigging.
This company have been in Zimbabwe for years and it also has standing relationship with Tobaiwa Mudede who is the registrar general of Zimbabwe whose office controls the production of Identification and electoral materials in Zimbabwe.
NIKUV is also friends with Army Generals or Security Intelligence of state they operate from.
PHOTO-CHROMIC MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED IN EKITI
Findings reveal that high-tech rigging materials that are alien to Nigeria’s system was used to rig Ekiti election. A considerable portion of the ballot papers are said to be photochromically made. Photochromic ballot papers are deplored with the use of strange but special ink in an already patterned ballot paper which takes the thumb-printed ink straight to the marked columns, regardless of wherever a voter must have voted in the first place.
Also, report on ground from those that voted in Ekiti seems to corroborate the photochromic theory; as it was revealed that the electoral officers in each polling booth would fold ballot papers in a rather funny bend before giving to electorate to exercise their franchise which has never been done in history of voting in Nigeria. It’s therefore revealed that such folding of the ballot papers is believed to have been done to prepare the paper for a swift movement of the ink within 50sconds to 2 minutes after voting to the already programmed column to suit their already written results.
One major instance that made me believe in the photochromic theory is what happened in the polling booth of Engr. Olusegun Oni a former Governor of the state and a chieftain of APC.The leader went to his polling unit to vote in same unit with his wife, children and other relatives numbering about 11. Surprisingly, when the result was announced, APC had just one vote from that unit. The question is; was it that Segun Oni who is APC’s Vice Chairman South-West and family voted for PDP? Is the incumbent Governor that bad that nobody in that area who are sympathetic to his style of Governance? Even the gluttonous and corrupt Alao Akala never got it that bad in the election that removed him as Oyo State Governor.
Also, one has to look at the performance of the incumbent Governor who has transformed the state and fixed major roads linking Ekiti State and other neighbouring states. He has reduced tensions due to assassinations in Ekiti with his gentleman kind style of governance, unlike when the Governor-elect was in power. He has succeeded in transforming Ekiti State to a better state than what she used to be. So with all his achievements, which political analysts and observers are said to have surpassed that of his predecessors, it is without doubt the election was technically rigged and the issue of photochromic materials is safe to be adjudged to be a true.
If APC does not challenge this election in court, same might be repeated in Osun. In fact, it isadvisable for political actors to call for the inspection of voting materials before they are used for an election.
As it concludes its plan to make Nigeria a single party state, the PDP federal government has so much eaten deep into our collective treasury cake; therefore, most Nigerianssuffer from extreme poverty. The PDP is now using ‘stomach infrastructure’ formula to gain access to our treasury(especially in South West). If they succeed, it’s going to be massive setback to development recorded in our democracy over the years.
I hope Nigerians can use their tongue to count their teeth and not using the personal hatred or dislike for one man to judge the services of some patriotic foot soldiers who are passionate with the rescue mission they are embarking on. We need a rethink as it is dangerous sleeping on the bicycle.
As it stand, I do not believe the election in Ekiti was free and fair.No one convince me that Ayodele Fayose won that election; I believe and take it that Foyose’s victory was ‘Isreali-Made.’
