On Sunday, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, Chief Gboyega Oguntuwase, called on Governor Kayode Fayemi to fish out the culprits in Friday’s alleged attack on former Governor Ayodele Fayose.
Oguntuwase likewise spoke to the police to exhibit professionalism in the handling of the attack on Fayose.
Oguntuwase, in a statement in Ado Ekiti, called on traditional rulers in the state to prevail on the All Progressives Congress not to introduce another era of violence in the state.
On Friday, Fayose had alleged that he narrowly escaped being attacked by some men in a pickup van who trailed his vehicle after he left the state House of Assembly in Ado Ekiti where he said he had gone in response to the legislative body’s summons.
Oguntuwase said, “I personally condemn the attack on Fayose. As the PDP leader in the state, I say we don’t deserve it because nobody harassed the opposition under our supervision.
In any case, the Deputy Chairman of the APC in the state, Sola Elesin, rejected the supposed attack on Fayose.
He said, “Nobody attacked Fayose. It was an outright lie. He went on an unexpected visit to the House of Assembly when he was not formally welcomed. The PDP is prudent with reality.”
He stated, “If Fayose is stating he has been attacked, it will be commensurate to deception. No one attacked him and on the off chance that anyone assaulted him, he is alone.
“Let him go to the House when he is invited to defend the allegations levied against him. As far as the APC is concerned, the claim of attack is an astonishment,” the APC boss said.
