I observed that those that actually voted were not on the Master list of the APC and also discovered that the membership cards brought by some people were not actually emanated from the party list but forged documents which were perpetrated by some fraudulent elements within the party.
Immediately the voting started without official register, I raised an alarm as an agent that I couldn’t allow voting until the registere was produced. The electoral officials confirmed to me that all names that begin with Alphabets A-H were omitted and I therefore expressed my displeasure with a man who claimed to be the supervisor and the officials of the elections but I was ignored and threatened by the Chief Security Officer of Igbogbo, in the person of Dare Igbasan, popularly known as Agali and some touts sponsored by the council chairman, Honorable Sesan Daini .
Despite my efforts to stop the process of voting without valid register as stipulated by the party guidelines which was even witnessed by Ward C 2 party chairman, Alhaji Daisi Omotayo, the officials responsible for the election went ahead on the instruction of the council chairman, Builder Sesan Daini after calling them for a ‘private meeting’.
At a point, Mr Dare igbasan Aka Agali and his team pushed me out of the voting point due to my continued insistence on the need for a valid register from the party.
Police also assisted them in perfecting the frauds by helping them to write names of those that are not qualified to vote; even the DPO witnessed the illegality committed by his officers .
Anonymous calls latter came in that I should not continue opposing the system of voting without official register unless I want to lose my life and those of my immediate family.
After insisting that the voting should not continue, Mr Dare Igbasan and his team took away the ballot box to unknown location .
I was later called by an unknown number on phone that I should come to ikorodu divisional police station to state my position. I got there, insisting that the system of voting was full of frauds and electoral malpractices as against party stipulated guidelines .
Finally, I wish to passionately appeal to the party to outrightly cancel the election of today, on the basis of fraud and illegality.
Thank you
