President Muhammadu Buhari has stated his belief that the 2014 governorship election which produced Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose was characterised by “hanky-panky.”
He however expressed a desire that it should not be allowed to repeat itself in the forthcoming state election.
Speaking while hosting members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, South-West caucus to a dinner at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, President Buhari urged APC leaders to do everything possible to prevent subversion of the will of the people again.
Buhari said, “This is crucial because I remember the hanky-panky that attended the last gubernatorial election in Ekiti State in 2014. I recall the firsthand account I received from some of the dramatis personae in that unfortunate saga.
“We must do everything to ensure that we do not allow any subversion of the will of the people this time round.
“Now that the primary is over and we have a candidate, all hands must be on deck to achieve a positive result.”
