ZLP RAISES ALARM OVER INFLUX OF THUGS IMPORTED TO ONDO BY FAYEMI.
The attention of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) has been drawn to the plan by Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi to interfere in the governorship election of Ondo State towards compromising the integrity of the electoral process.
Information available to us showed that Fayemi has imported thugs to a popular hotel in Ijapo area of Akure, the Ondo State capital. The thugs are to unleash terror on the people during Saturday’s governorship election.
We learnt that Governor Fayemi has been distributing money to security agencies and thugs imported from Ekiti in order to compromise the election in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN.
It must be noted that the people of Ondo State are capable of handling their affairs without the intervention of interlopers including Fayemi; who prides himself as supervisory governor of Ondo State.
We hereby give Fayemi two hours within which to vacate his Ijapo hotel where he is currently hibernating as the people may be forced to invade the hotel. The consequences may not be in the interest of both neighbouring states of Ondo and Ekiti.
Governor Fayemi who is also the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) must know that the careless way he handled the influx of weapons led to the upsurge of kidnapping and violent crimes in that State. We cannot afford post election violent crimes in Ondo State.
