Still over the Ekiti elections , Lawyers to Ekiti State Governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, have faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for allegedly allowing the main opposition party to access the electoral documents for July 14 polls.

A member of Fayemi’s legal team, Mr. Tajudeen Akingbolu, said hi party has formally written to INEC requesting for the Certified True Copies (CTCs) of the electoral documents which had not been granted.

Akingbolu who spoke with news men in Ado-Ekiti Today said he had gone to INEC office to see the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. AbdulGaniy Raji , on the development but was told that he was not on seat.

When ed, INEC spokesman, Mr. Taiwo Gbadegesin, declined comments on the matter saying “only the REC can speak on the development.”

According to Akingbolu, “Immediately after the election was conducted, July 16 to be precise, we wrote an application to the REC to the effect that we need CTCs of Forms EC8A, EC8B, EC8C, EC8D, EC8E and other documents used for the conduct of the election but up till now, we have not been granted access to those documents.

He added that “This is my third time of coming here but we heard scary information this morning that our adversary, that is PDP, have come here and has been given access to those documents.

“We were reliably informed that they (INEC) has opened the store where these documents are kept for them without putting us on notice.

“That is why we want to sound a note of warning that, for any document to be released at all, every party must be available and every other party must be on ground and present.

“We don’t want a situation whereby electoral materials, particularly the ballot papers, will be mutilated, tampered with or destroyed. They can be thumb-printed again to make them look as if they are void.

“That is why we want to warn INEC to be on the side of caution on this issue. We know the character of the people we are dealing with, we don’t want to take any chances at all and we don’t want to be put on the defensive.

“We heard from a very reliable source that they have been having access to the documents since last week. In a situation in which the other party is not given access it looks somehow.

“I went to REC’s office but I learnt he is not available and I have to come out and wait for him. That is not the practice anywhere in the world.”

fayemi should humbly accept defeat. besides it is under the law that the other party should check the ballot papers for more investigation. why creating fear for himself.

If your party actually won the election then you have nothing to fear. But I guess.……

Why is the bastard Fayemi jittery? Allow the court to determine if you rigged or not.

Lol...na less than 1500 naira go reach each person hand

In Nigerian politics, opposition party can mutilate the electoral materials in their favour. I think INEC err on the side of caution. What they did isn't professional at all.

What they should have done is to invite both parties.

bro na billion nt million plus s Jst a joke

You have been declared winner, given certificate of return, but you want the aggrieved party denied of evidence to challenge your victory in court?

If the election was free and fair without rigging, why are you afraid of the records being scrutinized?
