Bad Times For FFK As Senator Aliero Calls For His Arrest

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Adamu Aliero, has called on security agencies to arrest Femi Fani-Kayode, the director of publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization, for falsely claiming that the PDP had won the presidential election in 23 states.

According to Premium Times, Aliero made the call on March 31, while responding to questions from journalists in Birnin Kebbi, the Kebbi state capital, on his victory at the senatorial election in the state.

In his opinion, it was reckless and irresponsible for Fani-Kayode to have made such a “stupid statement”.

“Fani-Kayode is supposed to be arrested because such people can cause mayhem in this country,” he said.

The former minister further reminded that the only body empowered by the Constitution and Electoral Act to declare election result is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Therefore, he urged Nigerians to ignore such inflammatory statements because they could cause crisis in the country.

“Where you have two results being released, the INEC one and that of the fraudulent one by so called Fani-Kayode with the intent to rig the election, there can be confusion.”

According to Aliero, the introduction of Card Readers by INEC in the conduct of elections is a revolution.

“It has completely eliminated electoral fraud. This is because previous elections were marred by election fraud,” he added.

Senator expressed satisfaction with the conduct of election in the state and called on the commission to retain the use of card readers but improve them in order to avoid hitches in the usage recorded during the presidential election.

Aliero expressed gratitude to God and the people of the state for his re-election and promised to do his best in giving his people robust representation at the Senate.

It would be recalled that two days  ago the Buhari Support Organisation also called for the arrest of Femi Fani-Kayode for announcing unofficial results.

“His arrest for further questioning will be a clear indication that the security agencies are truly unbiased participants in this electoral process,” stated the spokesman.
