The Governor of the Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose got
warning from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) against
disrupting or interfering in any way with the APC presidential campaign
rally in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday, January 24th.
APC accused the governor of planning to hold a similar gathering on the same day is a way for confusion.
Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said APC questioned why Ekiti Governor will schedule a rally also for Saturday at Fajuyi Park, which is a major route to the venue of the APC presidential campaign rally.
He said: ”This is nothing but a deliberate act of provocation, and it is a dangerous game by a Governor who has now become notorious for making incendiary statements and taking irrational actions. Gov. Fayose should be told in clear terms that being the Governor of a state demands huge responsibility, not brazen rascality.”
The party wondered what matter Fayose was trying to show by seeking to set the supporters of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), against those of APC, which is principally what he is planning to do by scheduling a parallel rally along a main road to ours at Ado-Ekiti on Saturday.
APC said its members and a supporter, in line with their peaceful nature and the ethos of the party, neither disrupted nor interfered with the PDP presidential campaign rally at Ado, and finds it difficult to appreciate why Fayose will be planning to cause chaos and disrupt the APC presidential campaign rally.
”There must be a limit to mischief and waggishness, especially from a Governor that almost set Nigeria on fire with an irresponsible, incendiary and repugnant advertisement wishing our presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, dead.
”Since everything points to the fact that Gov. Fayose lacks the capacity to understand the implication of his actions, it is high time his masters called him to order before he sets the country on fire. A good starting point is to warn him against holding a parallel tally at Ado on Saturday.
”The security agencies should also advise the Governor against actions that are capable of triggering violence and disrupting public peace. If the Governor fails to heed the voice of reason, then he should be solely held responsible if there is any breach of peace or a disruption of the APC presidential campaign rally at Ado-Ekiti on Saturday” it said.
It should be noted that Mr. Fayose has already twice published adverts reportedly linking to APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari’s age.
Ekiti State Governor firstly published advertisement in the Punch and Sun newspapers supposedly raising concern about the health status of General Buhari.
Than he has attacked APC candidate yet again in another advert saying he is too old to be president of Nigeria.
