The Nigerian Army has ordered Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, who achieved notoriety by overseeing the rigging of a governorship election in Ekiti State in 2014, to resign.
Minister of Defense, Dan Ali, disclosed the plan to end General Momoh’s military career in an exclusive interview in Washington, DC. Mr. Ali was in the US as part of the Nigerian delegation at a nuclear power summit convened by President Barack Obama of the United States of America.
The Nigerian Defense Minister revealed that the army decided to initiate the process of rusticating General Momoh who was indicted last year by a military panel.
General Momoh led a contingent of soldiers and other security agencies who intimidated voters and inhibited the movement of officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a broad strategy that was reportedly approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan to enable Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to defeat then incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi.
A former Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, was used as a conduit to transfer huge sums of funds for the rigging operation. Mr. Obanikoro, who faces a separate investigation for money laundering, reportedly used the corporate account of his son’s firm to receive more than N4.7 billion for the election. The funds were then distributed among Mr. Fayose, Senator Iyiola Omisore and security agents who carried out the rigging.
The full version of Mr. Ali’s interview with SaharaReporters will be posted soon.

WHAT!!!..So Ekiti election was rigged and Fayose still talks so loud?Ok Sahara reporters until you post the video i have nothing more to say.
Why seize the gun but spare the hunter???? Yet they say buhari can fight corruption...its just biz as usual.....Stella u must enjoy me
ReplyDeleteStella. Didn't u listen to the tape? Anyone who had heard that shit head Fayose speak knows that was him on the tape
DeleteWhich election in nigeria was not rigged, they difference is that the media and public heard the tape.
Delete@ pdp why is that small army guy that realesed the tape still breathing.if it was back in the days, by now his bones would be rotten six feet below.
I have listened to the audio recording. I listened to it when the army guy who was in the room recorded the conversation released the audio after he fled out of Nigeria. It is very true. Fayose and all those mentioned were on the audio planning the rigging of the election in Ekiti state. I don't understand why Fayose is still Governor of that state.
ReplyDeleteBecos the are just a bunch of educated bush monkeys.
DeleteThe idiot fayose is busy talking thru his anus so that by the time the sledge hammer will land on his coconut head they will say it is because he has been ouspoken and a critic of the govt.
DeleteIt is a known fact that the Ekiti state was delivered to Fayose by the Millitary. The tape was revealing Chris Uba,Obanikoro etc tomorrow he will come out with his rotten teeth to criticise buhari. Mkpi.
Omg. Nigeria has got no hope mehn. Corruption eerwhere.

ReplyDeleteListen to the audio here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIqE7TX2Nhc
ReplyDeleteStella please add the audio to this post to back it up. It's old news because it happened last year but the truth about the rigging should not be swept under the carpet. Fayose rigged the election in Ekiti state and still has the guts to make noise and criticize everybody not to talk of not doing anything for Ekiti state. Very useless man.
It should have been "Buhari orders the ......"
ReplyDeleteHands of Esau ,Voice of Jacob
Slow and steady they are coming for fayose
ReplyDeleteStella seto!!! It was all over the place at the time. Audios that were undeniably voices of Obanikoro with his distinct accent and my dearest governor fayose being his usual roguish self was heard. A junior officer for reasons best known to him caught the jyst with his phone recording device. It was an exciting time and only a first class idiot will say it was a lie. But like most things in Nigeria, it was swept under the carpet at the time whilst another scandal rocked Nigeria which ofcos was swept under .
ReplyDeleteI'm a full fledged supporter of governor fayose cos he seems fearless. But even I couldn't deny it at the time that the audio and all evidences was 99.9% true. But I like governor fayose so I was still happy he was sworn in.
Fearless u say?There's none more scared than he dat makes noise 2 attract attention when cornered
DeleteWow so so sad my very own momoh is going down because of this
ReplyDeleteFayose la prison la mansion Gtb
ReplyDeleteBut i also remember the former gov fayemi congratulating fayose and saying fayose won fair and clear and wont go to tribunal.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the late garrison commander, high general adedibu, everyone rigs but the smarter and wiser of both wins.
Apc should dismiss all the military they used to kill rivers indigenes too
I have been waiting for this for a very long time. General Momoh finally go down.
ReplyDeleteA gentleman and an officer that allowed himself to be used by politicians.
Something that happened in two yrs ago it's now they are acting on it.smh. Nigeria is not going anywhere. Maybe in the next 50yrs or so because the corruption is at the core and foundation of this country.
ReplyDeleteSo because it happened two years ago and let the injustice happened it should be forgotten. Nigeria sha we don't know what we want.
DeleteStella why do you think 'Fayonsi' barks like a German Shepherd? He knows his arse is going down! Lolz
ReplyDeleteThe electoral laws prescribe punishment for the likes of Aliyu Momoh who engages in any electoral frauds...therefore the full weight of the those laws be applied in this case
ReplyDeleteWow! Not General Momoh! He shouldn't have meddle with politics oo. Met him at a novelty shooting range last year March. And he was quiet an amazing person.
