Ahead
of the July 14, 2018 governorship election, the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has asked the people of Ekiti State to be at alert and hold
the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Kayode Fayemi
directly responsible should any harm happened to the state governor,
Chief Ayo Fayose, on the election day.
Fayemi had recently
alluded to threats to life, arrests and continuous harassment of Ekiti
people by security forces when he threatened that security sources would
"cage" Fayose.
The PDP also charges the people of the state to
take note of the threat by Fayemi to practically cage Governor Fayose on
election day, which is a direct threat to his life and the peace of the
state, particularly, considering the popularity of Governor Fayose and
the PDP among the people.
Our investigations revealed that the
statement by Fayemi that Governor Fayose will not be allowed to move
around on election day is not a frivolous comment, but a product of a
grand plot by agents of the APC and the Federal Government to set up the
governor and open him up for harm.
The PDP is also privy of
plots by Dr. Fayemi and the APC who, having realized that they have no
chance in the election, have now designed plots to cause crises and
engineer conspiracies to set up perceived political opponents, including
traditional rulers, labour unions, religious leaders, interest groups
and other stakeholders, with a view to intimidating the people and
subverting their will at the polls.
What Fayemi and his
dysfunctional APC have failed to come to terms with is that there is no
way they can intimidate the people of Ekiti state to submission. The
people of Ekiti state have already made up their minds to go along with
the PDP and no amount of harassment by Fayemi can change this resolve.
We,
therefore, invite all to hold Fayemi responsible should there be any
breakdown of law and order or should any harm befall Governor Fayose,
any traditional ruler, religious leaders, members of labour unions or
any other individual of groups in the state in the course of the
election.
Finally, we also caution INEC and its observers to
note the already established resolve of the people of Ekiti state to be
on the side of the PDP, disentangle itself from the vicious web of the
APC and ensure only a free, fair and credible election, as the people
will not in anyway accept any results that do not reflect their wishes
and aspirations, as expressed at the ballot.
