FAYOSE : RAISES ALARM OVER PLOT TO IMPLICATE HIM AND PDP LEADERS WITH MURDER
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has alleged plots by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to implicate him and some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with murder cases.
Fayose claimed that a meeting was held in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Fayemi, the APC flag bearer in the July 14, 2018 governorship election where a certain thug popularly known as Agbara was assigned with the task of carrying out the sinister plot of killing people and dumping their bodies in houses belonging to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders as well as Fajuyi Park.
At the APC Secretariat last Friday, a chieftain of the APC, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele and five others, were hit by bullets fired by a policeman brought from Lagos to protect one of the party leaders.
Fayose said: “This alarm has become necessary because of a meeting that was held yesterday in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the flag bearer of the APC in the July 14, 2018 governorship election.
“They have hired one Agbara to kill one or two indigenes of Ekiti and dump their bodies in the houses of PDP leaders, Fajuyi Park, in Ado Ekiti or near the Government House. This is an attempt to link me and my party with killings.
“This new plot is as a result of the failure of the plot to link me with the shooting of Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) and others by a policeman at the APC Secretariat on Friday.
“We take exception to this sinister plot as we will not be a party to violent act. Ekiti has been peaceful in the last three and half years, we want to keep enjoying this peace and will not want it disrupted because of politics. Our ambition is not worthy of the blood of any Ekiti indigene.
“We therefore call on the police and other security agencies to be vigilant and Ekiti people to be watchful. Your life and my life will not be used as sacrifice for this election.
“I want to plead with everyone to please take note that violence is not an option. I also urge the Federal Government to take necessary steps to safe Ekiti from further crisis,” he said.
