James Faleke, Kogi state deputy governor elect, and the late Prince Abubakar Audu. |
According to a statement made by Duro Meseko, the director on media and publicity, the campaign organization uncovered “a sinister move to tamper with the ballot papers used in the November 21 gubernatorial election in the state by double printing on the APC logo so as to plead for forensic examination of the breached ballot papers at the Tribunal in order to void a chunk of the votes of the All Progressives Congress.”
“The act which we learnt was perpetrated within the precincts of Government House, Lokoja, was carried out by some five unnamed very desperate commissioners in the state.”
“We want to sound a note of warning that we will not sit by and watch a group of disgruntled elements get what they could not legally get from the good people of Kogi State during the election through the backdoor.
“We have it on good authority that 56,000 ballot papers had been breached already. We hereby alert the various security agencies, INEC leadership and the relevant authorities of this brazen attempt to subvertical the will of Kogi people through the back doors. A word is enough for the wise!” he stressed.
Meanwhile, a group known as the Kogi United for Justice has alleged that“James Faleke and his loyalists are planning to cause crisis in the state in the guise of violent protests to make the state look unsafe”.
According to the group, Faleke and his supporters even designed some self-attack against some leaders in their group to cover-up their nefarious plan.
