According to a statement by Fayose’s chief press secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the outgoing governor alleged that APC was also printing fake voter cards in Akure with support from the Ondo state government, as well as planning to bring in about 14,000 people from Ondo state to vote in Ekiti.
He said: “I don’t want to bring this picture out yet, but those who said preloading is not possible are lying. Right now, they are doing manual preloading in Akure, as I speak.
"For polling units with over 1,000 voters, they spread the preloading to between 50 and 200 votes per polling unit. In Ikere, 58 of such polling units were targeted and Ado-Ekiti has 158 of such.”
