Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has hailed the conduct of the Anambra State governorship election.
He described the performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies as above average and a sign that the electoral umpire was listening to the cries of Nigerians for a return to the legacy of free, fair and credible elections inherited by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
The governor also congratulated Governor Willie Obiano for his landmark victory in the election, saying that the results clearly showed that connection to the people was key to winning an election.
Fayose in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday said; “Even though there were reports of malfunctioning of card readers, number of votes exceeding number of accredited voters and pockets of violence as well as buying of votes, the Anambra governorship election was better than others conducted by INEC under the present government of APC.”
The governor, who urged INEC to pay more attention to the malfunctioning of card readers, said, “By now, INEC ought to have resolved all issues on card readers because it does not augur well for the electoral process and INEC itself if we are still being faced with failure of card readers on election day.”
