The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has accused the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, and former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, of sponsoring assault on him at the party’s campaign rally for the Ondo State governorship election in Ondo town on Wednesday.
Report have it that Mr. Fayose was attack on his to the podium at the campaign ground. It was said that his cap was removed by some hoodlum that are acting acting on instruction. He hinted that he will make formal report to the Security agencies and the relevant authorities so that such ugly incident does not repeat Itself.
Fayose who Reacted through his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, the former governor said despite the shameful act, he won’t stop to contribute his own quota to the progress of the party. He added that he won’t stop to say the truth concerning how the party’s has been faring in South West zone and those who have failed to produce any result in Lagos State since 1999 will be made to retire.
He said: “That’s how late Chief Bola Ige’s cap was removed in Ile Ife, Osun State then and we all know what happened later.
“So this one will not be ignored and treated as one of those things.
“The masterminds had it all planned and they followed it up by celebrating what they saw as the success of their plot. They even capped it up by circulating the video.
“So it was not an accident, it was planned. But those who planned it only succeeded in advertising their political myopism because popularity of the brand Ayo Fayose, Osokomole cannot be rubbished by such childish act. That they must have seen in the reaction of the people at the rally and I am sure they know that they can’t get such loud ovation even if they spend all the money in this world.
“As for me, I am unperturbed and I must say it clearly that those new comers to the PDP and their old allies, who won’t mind soiling the image of the party to achieve their aims will not be allowed to succeed.”
