A planned attack from Fayose to APC Lawmakers

The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in Ekiti State
House of Assembly have raised the alarm over alleged plan
by Governor Ayodele Fayose to attack them ahead of the
April 11 governorship election.
The embattled Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, said the
lawmakers’ fears were based on information from
Government House sources, hinting on a plot to attack
them.
Omirin, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr.
Wole Olujobi, said the leaked report had already gone viral
on social media, adding that he would have disregarded the
information if not for a similar experience they had shortly
after the governor assumed office.
The statement said, “Our fear is not without foundation
following similar experience we had when gunmen in black
sport utility vehicles were visiting our homes at nights to
attack us.
“Shortly before that, our party petitioned the Inspector
General of Police, Suleiman Abba, and the National Security
Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd), calling their attention to
special request by Governor Fayose to the police authorities
to redeploy to Ekiti some of the policemen the governor
used to attack his opponents between 2003 and 2006.
“Unfortunately, our petition was not treated. As a result,
gunmen in unmarked black sport utility vehicles started
visiting the homes of APC lawmakers at nights issuing
threats to APC leaders and Assembly members.”
Reacting, Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in a
statement said the allegation was another “propaganda”
and “falsehood” by the APC.
He said, “We have always reminded the people that the Ekiti
APC has no job outside propaganda and fabricating
falsehood. The allegation that Fayose is planning attack on
them ahead of the election is another of such lies.
“They will organise attack and later claimed the PDP
attacked them. Ekiti people already know them as liars and
nobody takes them seriously. They are essentially trouble
makers who do not want Ekiti to have peace and that
informed their invasion of the State House of Assembly last
Wednesday to cause crisis.”
