  • As president Goodluck Jonathan rules out investigation saying recording was fabricated

SR-Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has finally confessed to partaking in the secret meeting where politicians led by former minister of state for defense, Musiliu Obanikoro met with army officer led by a Brigadier General plotted how to rig last August’s gubernatorial election for Mr. Fayose.

Mr. Fayose was speaking  at an event in Ekiti where he inadvertently referred to the tape and then he quickly tried to change his story by claiming that he was only chastising the army general for being compromised in the presense of his collegaues. Mr. Fayose’s confession contrasts his earlier stance that the tape was manufactured with the aid of a voice software.  The minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan had earlier confessed to being at the meeting, however, President Goodluck Jonathan told reporters from the Wallstreet Journal during a recent interview that the tape was not “real” stating that the incident will not be probed.
