Assault on Fayose: PDP accuses APC of leading a war in Ekiti

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has stated that the alleged assault
on Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State was a strong indication that
the All Progressives Congress, APC, is leading a political war ahead
of Saturday's gubernatorial election in the state.

Spokesman of the Bauchi state chapter of the PDP, Alhaji Yayanuwa
Zainabari, told DAILY POST in Bauchi that the failure of the ruling
party at the national level is currently hunting it, especially when
the APC failed to conduct credible congresses.

"Maybe, APC has seemed to forget that Ekiti state election is not that
of its congresses where errands' names were only smuggled in without
proper election, resulting in crisis that has finally consumed the
partly," he said.

Zainabari stressed that the alleged attack on Fayose by policemen has
exposed APC and its agents as dictators operating in a democracy.

According to the PDP spokesman, the opposition party will not allow
itself to be intimidated or harassed, but would remain focused on
retaining power in Ekiti state.

"Nigerians should know that APC has slided, and has lost hope of
wining election in Ekiti state as well as ahead of the 2019 general
elections. This is because they have failed to fulfill their campaign
promises," he added.

Zainabari urged the United Nations to probe President Muhammadu Buhari
on the rational for the heavy deployment of security in Ekiti state
and their "undemocratic use" for the election.
