Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has reacted to the exposed audio which alleged he and other top politicians rigged the Ekiti state governorship election last year which brought Fayose into office.

Obanikoro took to his tweeter page to respond to the allegation few minutes ago;

Hour ago, a secret recording of how a Nigerian minister colluded with an army Brigadier General to rig the 2014 governorship election for Ayodele Fayose in Ekiti State.

Obanikoro was said to be part of the audio as he was heard saying that “[I] am not here for a tea party, am on special assignment by the President.”

Others in attendance include; Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti; Senator Iyiola Omisore; a man identified as Honorable Abdulkareem; the Minister for Police Affairs Caleb Olubolade; and Mr. Chris Uba.

It will be recalled that, Musiliu Obanikoro, has said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress [APC], Muhammadu Buhari, was stoned in Lagos last Friday.
