election rigging tape speaks
A Nigerian Army Captain who leaked audio and
documentary evidences of how some top officials
of the Federal Government and the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, used the Nigerian Army
and other security agencies to rig the
governorship election in Ekiti and Osun States last
year, has defended his actions.
In an affidavit titled:
How the Nigerian Army personnel were used to
rig Ekiti and Osun States Gubernatorial Elections
2014., Captain Sagir Koli gave details of all that
transpired between himself, his Commanding
officer, two Ministers and some politicians prior to
the elections in the state.
See the full text of his submission below:
Staff In Confidence
How the Nigerian Army personal were used to Rig
Ekiti and Osun States Gubernatorial Elections
2014.
1. I was officially deployed as the 32, Artillery
Brigade Intelligence Officer to provide credible
Intelligence to the success of Ekiti State
governorship election. At about 2030 hours on
June 2014, a day to the election proper, the
commander, Brigadier General AA Momoh told
me to escort him to a place where the State
Minister for Defence wanted to see him.
Reaching the place (Spotless Hotel in Ado- Ekiti),
which serves as coordinating campaign office for
the PDP candidate Mr. Ayodele Fayose, we met the
Minister himself, Mr of Police Affairs, Mr Fayose,
My Iyiola Omisore, one Honoruable Abdulkareem
and host of other top PDP chieftains.
The Outcome of what was discussed that gave
the party victory during the election are as
follows:
A. They told brigade commander that they are on
presidential assignment and they cannot afford to
fail. Also, they told him that they were there to
remove any obstacles that would block their
victory and the commander is the key; therefore,
he has no option but to collaborate with them.
They said, if the commander play(ed) with them,
his promotion is in their hands and the president
and the chief of army Staff would be very angry
with him and he knows what that means.
B.They directed that soldiers on election duty must
work hand in hand with the PDP agents and give
them all the necessary support they needed
without limitation.
C. They ordered the arrest of selected APC
stalwarts that could greatly assist the party during
the election including the DG campaign
organisation for Dr Fayemi Mr Bimbo Daramola.
APC members in Ekiti State should be interviewed
of what they went through. We were forced to do a
dirty job for them with a threat of court martial.
D.They directed that soldiers must block APC
members' access to the electorates but all PDP
supporters' movement anywhere using a
designated sticker with inscription, "National
Security Task" it should be noted that some of
these PDP agents were given NYSC uniforms
because we were well briefed by the commander.
E. Chief Chris Uba who also said he was from the
presidency entered Ado- Ekiti a day to the election
accompanied by 16 commissioned Army officers
(Major and below) led by Major Ujung of 82 Base
Ammunitions Depot from Nigeria Army 82
Division Enugu. Their major task was to effect
arrest and move secret materials and money.
This money was brought from CBN Umuahia.
F. Chief Chris Uba was physically present with the
soldiers and the commander at Forward
Operational Base (FOB) close to government
house in Ado- Ekiti. He personally supervised the
movement of the strike force. This act of a civilian
directing military operation is highly
unprofessional and tarnishing of the military
discipline and regimentation.
G. Chief Chris Uba entered Ado-Ekiti a day to
the election accompanied by military/police
escort with 2 black tinted Hilux Vans with
"secret" materials according to him. Items
inside the vans were 1000/500 Naria notes
closed and cloned marked ballot papers.
H. Chris Uba, Minster of police Affairs,
Obanikoro and Co said this is just a test run
that should not fail and its to be done in SS
and SW states, moreover, Rivers State to make
sure Rotimi Ameachi bow to the federal
government.
2. Based on the aforementioned, they succeeded
in rigging the Ekiti State election with victory in all
the 16 LGAs.
These really inspired them and they were with
the euphoria that same would happen in Osun
State. In preparation of the plans, they
confirmed the posting of the commander and
task him to prepare for Osun State election
(remember that Osun State is not part of 32
Artillery Brigade Area of operations) but they
ordered the Nigerian Army Construction
Engineers Commander Brigadier General
Adeyemi to proceed for 3 weeks compulsory
leave until after the election just to pave way
for General Momah to repeat the same dirty
work that he has done to them in Ekiti State.
3. In build-up towards the Osun State elections,
the commander directed me as his intelligence
officer who has worked with him perfectly in Ekiti
State to go ahead and recce (Army word for Spy or
Survey ) the area as well as familiarize myself with
all stake holders for the election. While I and my
team were working for the operations, the
commander was in Abuja re-strategizing how to
use the military to rig the elections.
Feelers based on my discussion with him on
phone confirmed to me beyond reasonable doubt
that we were repeating the same compromise in
Osun State.
My heart got burnt and become disenchanted and
in total disagreement with such being professional
junior officer aspiring to become a General
tomorrow.
4. However efforts to explain my grievances prove
abortive due to the military dictatorial hierarchy in
channel of communication vis a vis threat of court
martial from the commander.
I resorted to alert the APC high level officials with
the aim of stopping Army from partisan
involvement during election. A week to the
election, the commander came back from Abuja
and he made revelations being their final
arrangement on how the PDP was to become
victorious in Osun state as follows:
A. After welcome address by the commander, he
thanked all his staff officers, and said "you all
know who we are working for, so you guys MUST
follow my direction. I am working for the
presidency and the ruling party as you all
know, is no longer a hidden thing" for those of
you who are moles among us, the presidency is
watching you, be careful because the
consequence will be severe.
I learnt that some of you went to Lagos and met
with Tinubu without knowing that his line is
already bugged at Abuja, then we are in trouble,
but before somebody will kill me I have to kill him
first" (referring to me). The commander asked
how many of us were involved, that I should say
the truth, he now held a secret talk with the
operation officer and military police officer to tie
and handcuff me to Army HQs, from there I know
that my life was in danger.
B. The commander categorically told us that the
soldiers were to work under PDP agents while
their platoon commanders only supervise the
soldiers conduct. He briefed the officers that were
working the list of agents and those to be arrested
at the SGF office in Abuja and once the list is out
everybody must work with accordingly.
C. The commander briefed us on the formation of
a strike-force in conjunction with police, DSS and
NSCDC and he would command the strike force
directly. Their duty was to work directly with the
PDP aspirant for arrest and intimidation of APC
supporters in their strong hold.
D. Money was shared openly at the NYSC
Permanent Orientation Camp Ede to the strike
force to ensure compliance.
5. Having said all of the above, I must state before
concluding that:
A, My brother Adamu Koli a 15yrs old school boy
was under detention since on the 2nd August
2014. The boy stays with me at 32 Artillery Brigade
Akure.
B. Brigadier General AM Dikko who they consulted
initially for the scam insisted that the army must
remain professional and apolitical, was
disgracefully removed from his command which
he served only for 7 months just to allow General
Momoh to carry out the dirty work.
6. Last but not the least, to further substantiate my
submission and how my dear-loving, hard-
achieving noble calling was de-professionalized;
here is the recorded voices of the Ministers, the
aspirant and the Brigade Commander. Other
officers present at the hotel were Major Aliyu and
captain Adegoke who were also part of the officers
that escorted commander to the venue where the
compromise was made. Also conversation
between the commander and Abuja could be
traced via MTN, GLO, on the under listed phone
numbers (between 20-21 June 2014).
A. 08037033694
B. 08055832835
7,Lastly, in order to strengthen the unity and
continue existence of Nigeria, I call on the federal
Government to desist from using the military for
partisan politics. This is to avoid the military from
being divided along ethnic and regional lines
which is dangerous to the defence of the nation. I
remain a patriotic Nigerian and a loyal
professional Army officer,
God bless you all
Thank you for listening. Captain Sagir Koli
