Nigeria's Senate President, David Mark
says one man one vote will end the
crisis currently rocking Ekiti state as
a result of the outcome of the election
in the re-run governorship poll last
week.
Speaking with airport reporters at the
presidential wing of the Murtala
Mohammed airport Ikeja,Senator Mark said
the crisis would not have
snowballed into greater crisis in Ekiti
if the will of the people was allowed to
determine the winner of the election
According to Mark though soldiers were
not meant to monitor elections but in a
situation like that of Ekiti there was
nothing wrong in deploying them to the
state for the remaining polls in Oye
Local Government."Soldiers are not
deployed for elections but if they have
done it in other states before, so what
is the problem. Soldeirs are not meant
to be deployed for election"
On the disappearance of the Resident
Electoral Commissioner , Mark said Mrs
Ayoka Adebayo owed the nation a proper
explanation as to what she needed."In my
candid opinion ,she was very very loaded
and I think she holds the nation a
proper explanation as to what she needs.
