The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said it has uncovered a plot by the state leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party to compromise voting materialsin favour of President Goodluck Jonathan.

It asked the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, and all election monitors to put Ekiti State under special watch to forestall electoral fraud.

A statement by the Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, on Sunday said the allegation could not be ignoredconsidering the latest revelations in a leaked audio file that INEC materials were allegedly compromised by PDPin June 21 Ekiti governorship poll to favour its then candidate, Ayodele Fayose.

Olatubosunsaid, Our fear is not without basis. Nigerians and indeed the whole world have heard Fayose talking on Ekitigate tape about how he collected INEC soft copies and got them printed to manipulate the poll to secure victory. They also heard how the military provided cover to subvert democracy in Fayoses favour.

We are calling on Jega that we have it on good authority that Fayose has again printed fake ballot papers as usual to exchange with INEC original ballotson Friday nightpreceding election day.

Olatubosun alleged that the plan was to exchange the ballot papers in the night ofFriday March 27just as it was done in the night ofFriday June 20, 2015.

He urged Jega, INEC officials and security agents to ensure that ballot papers were not distributed at night, pleading that the distribution be done in the morning in the presence of party agents.

He added that Jega should put his staff under intense surveillance to avoid compromise with polls riggers.

The APC also alleged that Governor Ayodele Fayose, his Ondo State ally and their agents were in possession of fake army uniforms to be worn by the thugs allegedly imported into the state three weeks ago.
