When the platform on which  the PDP candidate Ayo Fayose and others stood on collapsed last week some may have thought it to have been an accident. But not so, for the APC candidate who has described it as an act of God reflective of God’s rejection of Fayose and the PDP.

Speaking during a fund raising dinner for his campaign in Lagos at the weekend, Governor Fayemi said the collapse of the platform was reflective of God’s anger on the PDP.

Fayemi and his Osun State counterpart, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rescind its decision not to use Voters Card Reader machines in the forth coming governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States. Fayemi at the occasion said that irrespective of the plans and plots, that the people of Ekiti would do everything to protect their votes after the election.

“We will go to any length not only to ensure that the votes of the people count but that the votes must be counted at the spot where they have chosen to elect the leader for themselves and we will do everything to ensure that INEC is forced, not just encouraged to use the card reader for these elections in Ekiti and Osun.”.

The APC candidate stressed that the difference made by his government in the lives of Ekiti people since 2010 is crystal clear and it is an evidence of his commitment to lifting up the weak and vulnerable section of the society.
