Fayose rubbishes APC's audio clips on Ekiti election, says; 'it is fake'
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the audio clip released by the All Progressives Congress (APC), through its media organ, SaharaReporters as fake, saying; he never held any meeting with anyone to rig the June 21, 2014 election, suggesting that his voice & those of others could have been faked using technology like Natural Voices.
He said the audio clip was APC's new calculated attempt to discredit the election results, having failed woefully both at the poll and the tribunal.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi said in a statement issued on Friday that the APC would have used the audio clip as evidence at the tribunal if it was genuine.
He said; "Nigerians should be reminded of how the APC
people lied in 2007 that they recorded how the governorship election was
rigged even in the palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe,
but the party could not produce a single photo evidence at the tribunal
because their plans to do what is know as Morphing and Syncing was
exposed.
"Nigerians should also be reminded of the existence of a
technology called speech software, which is good at reproducing the
sounds, inflections and intonations of a human voice.
"There are softwares that can re-create voices and even
bring the voices of long-dead notable persons back to life. There are
softwares that can turn printed text into synthesized speech, making it
possible for anyone to use recordings of a person's voice to utter new
things that the person never said. One of such softwares is called
'Natural Voices.'
"The APC that we all know is a party of crooks, who are capable of doing anything, no matter how criminal to achieve their aim.
"They tried all tricks to manipulate the election and
failed. Even after wining the election, they tried to prevent Fayose
from assuming office but failed.
"Now it is a fake audio clip, which is obviously targeted at the next week presidential election.
"Another question that should be asked by discerning minds
is; if indeed such a meeting took place, could any of those purported
to be present at the meeting have recorded the conversation and leaked
it to the APC? Or was the supposed secret meeting held in the public
such that it was possible for the conversations to be recorded?
"This fake audio manipulated with the use of
Nigerians, especially the people of Ekiti who
overwhelmingly voted Fayose as their governor should therefore ignore
this new fabricated lie coming from the APC."
