A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the
state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose as been responsible for the current
spate of violence and killings in the state.
The former Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye in a press statement issued on Sunday on his behalf by the Director of Media for his campaign organization, Mr. Omoniyi Ojo, said that Governor Fayose should be held responsible for the violent destruction of campaign materials of the candidate for his party, APC, Dr Kayode Fayemi and other violent events in the state, in the past few weeks.
He also added that the state governor who he accused of been known for
violence acts in the past, is also heating the polity with violent
and threatening statements against perceived ”enemies” of his
administration and his anointed candidate for the governorship
election .
He also accused Governor Fayose of gagging traditional rulers in the
state and sacking civil servants and appointees, who are deemed to
be supporting the opposition on trumped up charges.
The statement reads;” The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
should be held responsible for the present state of insecurity in the
state. People who are familiar with his antics, cannot sleep with
their two eyes closed anymore.
”He was chased out in his first time in office, when he was imposed
on the people of Ekiti State by the then President Olusegun Obasanjo.
This second time, he told people that he was a changed person, but he
is now worse.”He was impeached because of violence in his term in office, even
some of the cases that include murder cases are still in court. Two
days ago, an APC supporter was killed. two days before, the bill
boards of Dr Fayemi were destroyed in Ikere Ekiti.
”If you are looking for the who is behind all these violence, look in
the direction of Fayose.
