Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has admitted that rigging elections is now a difficult task in Nigeria.
Fayose, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who is working with the President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, government, made the remark on Tuesday night when he appeared on Channels Television.
The former governor, however, declared that President Tinubu of the APC will score a total of 12 million votes in the election.
“Politics is not a tea party. Asiwaju (President Tinubu) will have 12 million votes. Go and write it down.
“You know, to rig elections is now difficult. Very difficult,” Fayose said.
Fayose was recently appointed by President Tinubu as the Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) Board.
Prior to his appointment, Fayose had publicly endorsed Tinubu ahead of his 2027 re-election bid.
