Governor Fayose alleged, while speaking with newsmen on Friday, that the INEC was plotting to engage FUOYE students as ad-hoc staff for the election, instead of youth corps members.
The governor said that the vice chancellor was a card-carrying member of the APC and a close ally of the party’s candidate, Dr Kayode Fayemi, accusing him of rigging elections for the APC in the past.
Reacting, Professor Soremekun said: “What Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused me of is a blatant falsehood. In a post-colonial setting like Nigeria and especially Ekiti State, elections are like war and in any war, truth is usually the first casualty.”
