ADP Speaks On Open Rigging In Ekiti Election

The Action Democratic Party, ADP, has lent it's voice to those who are demanding the nullification of the governorship election held in Ekiti State on Saturday, 14th July.

The Ekiti election saw the candidate of All Progressives Congress APC, John Kayode Fayemi, declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The ADP has rejected the outcome of the poll on the account of alleged glaring irregularities.

Mr Sani Yabagi, who is the National Chairman of the ADP, announced the party’s position in a brusque statement he signed in Abuja, on Wednesday.

The Chairman said;

“Regrettably, in spite of all the assurances that the processes would be free and fair, in conformity with globally accepted democratic standards, the election was anything far from this, as several issues which marred the election included ballot box snatching and, meddlesomeness by security agents.”
