The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday demanded the immediate prosecution of all those involved in what it called the subversion of democracy during the Ekiti State Governorship elections.

This was contained in a statement issued at the end of the First Joint Leadership Meeting of the APC held at Shehu Musa Yaradua Centre, Abuja.

The statement, which was made public by the partys National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, resolved, among other things, to declare that it would not tolerate any further shift of the election date from March 28 and April 11.

It partly read, (the meeting resolved to demand the) Immediate and necessary disciplinary action for all individuals that were involved in the subversion of democracy in the June 21 Ekiti Governorship Election as revealed by the audio file released by Sahara Reporters.

They include: (a)Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh who should be immediately investigated by the Military authorities.

(b) The Hon. Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan who should immediately be relieved of his ministerial appointment.

(c) The former minister of state for Defence Affairs, Senator Musliu Obanikoro whose name has just been sent to the Senate for confirmation again as a minister. He must not be confirmed by the Senate and must be barred henceforth from holding any public office.

It also said, in line with the Court of Appeals decision on Monday that upheld an earlier judgment of the Sokoto Federal High Court that ruled as illegal, the participation of the military in the electoral process, the military should be kept away from election duties henceforth.

The party leaders also said, The reschedule election dates of the March 28 and April 11 remain sacrosanct as the party will not tolerate any further shift.

The use of the card reader for the election is non-negotiable, as contrary to the misinformation being disseminated that the use of card reader is not synonymous with electronic voting.
