Fayose Claims Rigging Elections Is Now Difficult

Ayodele Fayose, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) Board, stated during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today that it has become increasingly difficult to rig elections. He expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure 12 million votes.

Fayose commented on the ongoing controversy surrounding the Rainbow Coalition led by Nyesom Wike, indicating that both Wike and APC governors are supporting Tinubu's reelection in different ways. He noted that the effectiveness of the Rainbow Coalition in delivering votes for Tinubu, especially in Rivers State, is what ultimately matters.

Fayose dismissed the idea that the disagreements between Wike and the APC governors pose a threat to Tinubu’s reelection, suggesting that controversy can be beneficial for the election process.
