......Says Voters Interest Must be Prioritized

The recent surge of the citizens of the country to participate in the electoral process of the country may have received a boost as Civil Society Organizations (CSO's)across the Federation has launched a passionate appeal to the Independent National Electoral commission (Inec) to extend the  voters registration exercise  even as the Portal for Online registration and pre registration closes on  tMay 30th 2022 and June 30th respectively.

In a statement made available and signed by heads of various Civil Society Organisations dated may 30th 2022,  the body  believes that having granted an extension to Political parties in the appeal of Primary Elections, such should be allowed to people who wants to register for their voters card as well.

It argued, that the  people have come to realize the importance of participating in the electoral process of selecting who leads the country and priority should be given to those who are registering for the very first time, those who want to transfer their permanent voters card and those who want to replace lost or damaged ones.

The paper read inter alia: It is worthy to note that voters are critical stakeholders in the electoral process and should be treated as such, more so, we are certain that extending  the deadline for voters registration would be entirely in consonance with constitutional and International standards and the electoral act of 2022 as well.

The league of the CSO's include; Executive Director of Speak Out Africa Initiative Kennet Eze, Habeeb Tajudeen Team lead Yvote Naija,Daisi Omokungbe Executive Director Promad foundation, Emeka Lekuwa and Team Lead, Civily. Others are Ebenizar Wikina, Founder Policy shapers,Ephraim Ekenwa Executive Director, Lead Africa and Omowumi Ogunrotimi, Executive Director, Gender Mobile Initiative.

It called on Inec to make use of the fact that it is independent and should therefore be impartial by treating citizens equally and fairly  as perception of the public matters in deepening of the country's democracy.

...It is totally false story spread  by Political neophytes because of elections-  Fasuyi 

The alleged money laundering involving the APC gubernatorial candidate's campaign director general,  Chief Cyril Fasuyi has begun to raise uneasiness in the camp of the  Senatorial hopeful.

A report filtered in this morning that the APC Chieftain was reportedly invited to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja on issues involving money laundering.

The news reportedly threw spanners in the camp of the Senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress  who also doubles as the Campaign Director general of the APC gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming June 18th election in Ekiti State.

 

The camp of Chief Fasuyi and his  teeming fans were said to have been disturbed by the allegations.

But in a swift reaction, the APC gubernatorial director general who is also seeking to win the Ekiti  North Senatorial sole ticket in the Friday primaries declared that the information is false and has no iota of truth. 

In a direct message to this Correspondent,  Chief Fasuyi said:

"Everything about the report is false. It has been a recurring report since 4 years and its coming up again because we are in electioneering period. Thank you for your concern".

He also described those peddling the story as political neophyte who enjoys tarnishing his image because of the election tension in the State.

I am very sure about the Second term of Mr Governor. Hon. George said. When the press men, asked about the re-election of Governor Oyetola, Hon. Geoge said the performance of Alh. Gboyega Oyetola is already speaking for him. Gov. Gboyega Oyetola reform and Strategic intervention in the public service have been intrumental to the gains that the state had recorded in terms of overall citizens welfare and improvement of standard of living of the citizens of Osun State.

Since assumption of  office, Governor Gboyega Oyetola commenced the prompt payment of full Salaries and pension as opposed to the half salary payment by the previous Administration. 

So second term of Governor Gboyega Oyetola is very sacrosanct.
