Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Friday said that the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming Ondo governorship election was evidence that the commission is aiding the All Progressives Congress (APC) to influence the poll.
Ibrahim, who emerged from the Senator Modu Sheriff-led faction of the PDP, was picked by INEC over Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), who was presented by the Senator Ahmed Makarfi faction of the PDP.
But Fayose believes that “with the development in Ondo Guber election and the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it is clear that INEC is a department in APC led federal government”.
