Press statement from the office of the Ekiti state governor,
Ayo Fayose...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described
the audio clip released by the All Progressives Congress
(APC), through its media organ, SaharaReporters as
fake, saying; he never held any meeting with anyone to
rig the June 21, 2014 election, suggesting that his voice
& those of others could have been faked using
He said the audio clip was APC's new calculated
attempt to discredit the election results, having failed
woefully both at the poll and the tribunal.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi said
in a statement issued on Friday that the APC would have
used the audio clip as evidence at the tribunal if it was
genuine.
He said; "Nigerians should be reminded of how the APC
people lied in 2007 that they recorded how the governorship
election was rigged even in the palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti,
Oba Rufus Adejugbe, but the party could not produce a single
photo evidence at the tribunal because their plans to do what
is know as Morphing and Syncing was exposed.
"Nigerians should also be reminded of the existence of a
technology called speech software, which is good at
reproducing the sounds, inflections and intonations of a
human voice.
"There are softwares that can re-create voices and even bring
the voices of long-dead notable persons back to life. There
are softwares that can turn printed text into synthesized
speech, making it possible for anyone to use recordings of a
person's voice to utter new things that the person never said.
One of such softwares is called 'Natural Voices.'
"The APC that we all know is a party of crooks, who are
capable of doing anything, no matter how criminal to achieve
their aim.
"They tried all tricks to manipulate the election and failed.
Even after wining the election, they tried to prevent Fayose
from assuming office but failed.
"Now it is a fake audio clip, which is obviously targeted at the
next week presidential election.
"Another question that should be asked by discerning minds
is; if indeed such a meeting took place, could any of those
purported to be present at the meeting have recorded the
conversation and leaked it to the APC? Or was the supposed
secret meeting held in the public such that it was possible for
the conversations to be recorded?
"This fake audio manipulated with the use of
Nigerians, especially the people of Ekiti who overwhelmingly
voted Fayose as their governor should therefore ignore this
new fabricated lie coming from the APC."nator Musiliu Obanikoro and Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose have reacted to the recording that
surfaced last night.fghh
