Ekiti Rigging: Senator Omisore Confesses In Ghana , “I Was There, All I Said Was Calm Down, Calm Down” [WATCH]
In a one-on-one interview with Nigerian citizen journalist Kayode Ogundamisi at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana, Senator Iyiola Omisore of Osun state has admitted that a tape released by SaharaReporters detailing how some politicians met with a Nigerian army general to plot the rigging of last year’s gubernatorial election in Ekiti was real and authentic.
Cornered by the interviewer Mr. Omisore admitted that Governor Ayo Fayose, Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, Musiliu Obanikoro (then minister of state for defense) met with Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh to work out a modality to stop the momentum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election which the APC subsequently lost. However, Mr. Omisore claimed that all he said on the tape was “Calm Down, All Down”, apparently referring to the point at which he intervened when Gov Fayose and others began bullying Brig. General Momoh. Omisore’s assertion is, however, untrue according to the 37-minute tape.
In another instance during the meeting, Omisore asked the army general why he had not arrested the campaign director of Fayose’s opponent, Bimbo Daramola.
