Ekiti guber: Fayemi’s campaign warns Fayose over alleged planned breach of peace

The Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation has warned Governor Ayodele
Fayose of Ekiti State ahead of July 14 poll against plan to cause
trouble during and after the Tuesday mega rally for the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Kayode Fayemi.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign
Organisation, Wole Olujobi, in a statement on Monday, warned that
Fayose would be held accountable for any breach of peace if anything
unpleasant happens at the rally.

The warning came on the heels of disruption of stakeholders meeting by
members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) at the Eagle Hall,
Ado-Ekiti, on Monday.

Olujobi said, "The disruption of the stakeholders meeting today
(Monday) by members of PDP is condemnable, but expected against the
backdrop of Fayose's activities across the state in the last few days.

"He had earlier hinted publicly that something will happen on Tuesday
that will shock Ekiti people, and events in the last two days have
pointed to that direction with thugs being imported to the state to
breach public peace.

"After disrupting the meeting this morning (Monday), Fayose has been
inviting drivers' union leaders, asking them to withdraw their
vehicles from the roads tomorrow to cause traffic crisis in order to
hurt the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Ekiti State to attend
APC's grand mega rally as campaign activities draw to a close ahead of
the July 14 poll.

"We are aware of the directive to drivers to park their vehicles in
the Government House grounds in a desperate bid to cripple traffic to
disrupt Tuesday APC rally.

"We are also aware that he has threatened to smash vehicles found on
the roads conveying residents from one point to the order.

"This is a reckless conduct by a governor who is supposed to conduct
himself in decorous manner expected of a man in high office. APC has
been having good working relationship with Ekiti State drivers over
the years and so we wonder why the governor is now bent on destroying
that relationship.

"We hereby advise the drivers to ignore Fayose, who has done nothing
for them in the last three and half years but suddenly realised that
N10,000 is what he needs to destroy the good working relationship
between the drivers and APC.

"Again, intent to cause public disorder, Fayose is planning to invite
Ekiti youths he has been deceiving with job promises in the last three
years to the Government House on Tuesday to submit their job
application forms, all in a bid to cause confusion that may lead to
breakdown of law and order."
