An All Progressives Congress, APC , governorship aspirant in Kogi State, Smart Adeyemi, is not holding back in his condemnation of the party’s primary held in the state.
The aggrieved senator has deployed the harshest of words and phrases to describe what transpired during the primary election in the middle belt state.
Adeyemi, who spoke on Arise Television on Monday, described the election as as a ‘rape of democracy’ and affront to those who fought for the restoration of democracy in the, insisting that no election took place.
Adeyemi also asserted that God will descend on officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, if they consent to what happened during the APC primaries election.
Adeyemi said, “About eight of us, apart from probably the man that was anointed, none of us has the privilege to vote. In essence, there was no voting anywhere. What they did was to write the result. It was a sham, It was a rape of democracy, It was a disgrace, a betrayal of all those who laid down their lives for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria
“I have heard of rigging, if there was voting and we alleged rigging OK we will say were rigged out, but in this instance, we were at our polling unit at our ward secretariat, there was no material, nobody, what they did was to invite the chairmen of the local government areas including those of them who were said to have been suspended, were recall three days to the election and they were given a marching order, collect the material that from the panel that came from Abuja and they went to their closets and fill the forms and brought some 10 to 15 people within their compound and area and they said they have voted and that was the result.
“While we were still standing at our various wards, we contestants looked at each other. It was 11 o’clock, it was 12 nobody, 1 pm nobody. We were still there at 2 o’clock when we started hearing the results of the election.
“It is unimaginable. This is a new phenomenon that must not stand because if Kogi State gets away with this, other Governors will copy this. There was no election. Ask my colleague, ask the security service, and ask the INEC people unless they want God to descend on them. There was no voting.”
