EKITI DECIDES 2018 : PDP SLAMS FAYEMI OVER ALLEGED SUPPORT FOR CATTLE COLONIES
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has assured the people of Ekiti against any Fulani herdsmen attack in the state sighting that no Party can guarantee that except the PDP, thereby warning the people against casting their vote with the All Progressives Congress, APC and Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
The charge was made by the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Jackson Adebayo, in Ado-Ekiti, while reacting to insinuations that Fayemi was supportive of the creation of cattle colonies in the State.
Adebayo speaking against the background of the latest killings by marauding herdsmen on Plateau State, he said, “it is strange that Fayemi has never seen anything wrong in the killing of Nigerians by herdsmen. Instead, he has consistently given tacit support to the killings by insisting on creation of cattle colonies.
“It is instructive to note that when herdsmen killed Ekiti people in Oke Ako, Orin, Okemesi, Aiyede, Ipao and other places, Fayemi did not utter a word to condemn the killings. No single press statement was issued by the APC to condemn the killings by herdsmen and called for arrest of the perpetrators.
“Instead of condemning these killings and destruction of people’s farmlands by herdsmen, Fayemi and his APC have been canvassing support for cattle colonies just to remain in the good book of the Fulani power brokers as being done by the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and other APC governors.
“Ekiti people will remember that when Fulani herdsmen invaded the farm of Chief Olu Falae and set it ablaze, Governor Akeredolu did not say a word.
“It has therefore become necessary that we alert our people to the danger of returning Fayemi to power because no APC governor will protect its people against marauding herdsmen as done by the PDP government of Governor Ayodele Fayose.”
