| Akeredolu & Fayemi. |
The
Director of Media and Publicity of the Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation
(KOCO), Mr. Lere Olayinka has come out to defend the blood bath that took place
in Ado-Ekiti State today.
According
to his accout of what transpired, the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu
and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode
Fayemi invaded Ekiti State with armed policemen and thugs, throwing the State
that has been peaceful since the advent of Governor Ayodele Fayose's government
into bloodshed.
Akeredolu,
Olayinka says led the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate,
Dr. Kayode Fayemi to Ekiti in a show of federal might and in the process,
seven people were hit by police bullets.
At
the APC secretariat, one of the mobile policeman, was said to be
using his gun to push away the thugs brought from Ondo State and the hoodlums
in turn dragged the gun with him, leading to sporadic shootings that left six
persons shot as one of those injured was Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele. Five others
also had gunshot injuries.
According
to Ler Olayinka, the APC thugs backed by armed policemen later went on rampage
at Ojumose area of Ado Ekiti, destroying the canopies and chairs in from of the
residence of late Prince Adegoke. One of the Teargas cannisters fired by
the policemen hit a Taxi driver, Odeyemi Olumide badly injuring him. He
is now receiving treatment at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital,
alongside five others who were shot at the APC secretariat and as usual, the
APC went to town with story that the policeman who fired the shots at the party
secretariat was fake.
However,
Mr. Lere continued, information available to us is that the policeman was
brought from Ondo State by Governor Akeredolu and we challenge the Police
authority to release the identity of the police officer to the police and how
he left Akure for Ado Ekiti. We also wish to alert the public of the
possibility of the APC shenanigans plotting to assassinate the policeman so as
to sustain their lie that he is fake.
We
make bold to say that Governor Akeredolu of Ondo State and Dr Fayemi must be
held responsible for any breakdown of law and order in Ekiti State. We
are aware of their mobilisation of thugs from Ondo State to Ekiti for the July
14. The governor even reportedly boasted that he was ready to spend two months
allocation of Ondo State on Fayemi's election.
The
first manifestation of Governor Akeredolu's plot to ensure that Ekiti is taken
by force was the bloodshed witnessed in the State today.
Lastly,
Lere Olayinka asked that Governor Akeredolu and his stooge, Kayode Fayemi know
that Ekiti is not a state to be taken by force and annexed to Ondo State by
anyone, our people will resist the APC agents of bloodshed.
