Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of destroying the legacy of “free and fair election” of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Commenting on the irregularities that marred the Rivers state legislative rerun election, Fayose said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was plotting to take over the entire 36 states of the country.
He also alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was working against the interest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
“The open display of contempt for free, fair and transparent election by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Muhammadu Buhari as being witnessed in Rivers state presently is capable of setting Nigeria on the path of anarchy,” he said in a statement issued on his behalf by Lere Olayinka, his spokesman.

“Rivers State is 100 percent PDP, and any attempt to subvert the will of the people will be counter-productive.
“Obviously, INEC under President Buhari has destroyed that legacy of free, fair and transparent elections bequeathed on Nigeria by the PDP government of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“It is strange that INEC produced results sheets with PDP omitted, and I wonder what is going to happen in 2019 if INEC and security agents are acting in this clear compromised manner in Rivers state.

“From reports that I have heard, Rivers state is under siege. I have seen pictures of people killed and I have seen pictures of INEC Result Sheets with PDP omitted. Most importantly, I have read reports of top functionaries of PDP and Rivers state government either abducted by unknown gunmen or arrested by the security agents.
“What all these portend for our democracy is danger!
“It is a sign of what APC desperation to take over power in the entire 36 States of Nigeria will cause in Edo and Ondo States this year and in Ekiti State in 2018 as well as the entire country in 2019.”

nice one ..coming from a man whose own election rigging was recorded and documented ..lest we forget
What legacy is Fayose talking about, Is it the legacy of looting of public treasuries, rigging of elections or of civilian coup d’etat the type that was witnessed in Ekiti in 2014 election that brought the governor to the office
Fayose should have mention the legacy first then state how Buhari destroyed it. But Fayose keep on saying nonsense without prove.
What is the legacy, man nigerians are not animals Goodluck must hand over he lost election and nigeria have to progress.1999 to 2015 your party only encourage corruption and bad governance. The election rigging is what PDP did to retain power up to 2015, so God save Nigeria what legacy.
Don’t mind fayose the master rigger

Which LEGACY? Looting Legacy ?, Stealing Legacy ?, Mis-management Legacy ? Treasury Diversion Legacy ? Insurgency Legacy etc. Really PMB has destroyed them. What remain is to destroy the perpetrators including Fayose.
Which Legacy? Looting Legacy, Stealing Legacy, Mismanagement Legacy, Treasury Diversion Legacy, Insurgency Annexing Treasury Legacy. Indeed PMB has destroyed the legacies, what remains is to destroy the perpetrators including Fayose himself.
Yes,he has destroyed the legacy of election manipulation using the military. The type that brought him(Fayose) to power. He has also destroyed the legacy of massive looting of public treasury.
Why are you always against Fayose? This is democracy, PMB is no God and is mistakes must be criticised,RAUF did it to GEJ heavens d not fall. Fayose is totally spot on in his comment.
