The National Broadcasting Commission has shut down the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES) for breaching provisions of the Broadcasting Code.
The commission’s Southwest monitoring chief Professor Armstrong Idachaba cited breach of the electoral act and broadcasting code by the media outfit, after Governor Ayodele Fayose went on air to announce fake results in favour of Olusola Emeka, his deputy and PDP governorship candidate.
“The Commission has taken the decision to curb the continued breach of the Electoral Act and the Broadcasting Code on Political Broadcast.
The Commission was particularly irked by the unauthorized declaration of results by the state Governor on the state owned Broadcast stations.
The governor had also made malicious and unsubstantiated comments against INEC, the Police and the SSS.

Professor Kolapo Olusola Eleka, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party is already crying foul about Saturday election outcome, alleging manipulation of results.
In a statement, a spokesman of the candidate Lere Olayinka said ”We contested against security agencies” and alleged that plans were afoot to tinker with the results of the election.
Olayinka said results in most of the Local Councils are currently being tinkered with.
”Aside the fact that it was an election of the PDP versus all the security agencies in the country, we are confident of winning.
He said the various wards collating centres have been taken over by armed thugs backed by security agencies as it was before and during the election.
“Despite the intimidation and harassment by security agencies, we are still hopeful of winning the election but we are confronted with a clear plot to manipulate the results.
“We are therefore calling on all well meaning Nigerians to prevail on the security agencies and INEC to allow the will of Ekiti people to prevail.”

Voting has been delayed for the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ekiti State Governorship election, Kolapo Olusola, as the INEC card reader failed to recognize his PVC.

Olusola arrived at his Polling Unit 007, Ofomofuru Hall, Ward 2, Okokuru in Ikere-Ekiti around 10:30 am on Saturday but was unable to vote immediately.

His wife was said to have had a similar experience and was also unable to vote immediately.

However, with the intervention of the National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Anthonia Simbini, he was accredited and eventually able to vote.

The PDP candidate said INEC identified the need for his PVC to be withdrawn and replaced later, an option which he said he was satisfied with.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Kayode Fayemi, cast his vote at about 10:15 am.

He arrived at the Polling Unit (Unit 9) ward 11 in Ogilolo, Isan- Ekiti, with his wife, Erelu Bisi who, however, experienced a delay in voting.

The card reader initially failed to recognise her PVC but after several attempts, she was able to vote.
