APC’s Claim On Ekiti Violence Is ‘Blatant Lie’ – Fayose’s Aide

A Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, has described the allegation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Ayodele Fayose was sponsoring violence in the State as a blatant lie.

Olayinka said the APC should rather tell “its fugitive State Chairman, Jide Awe, House of Assembly members, Kehinde Boluwade and Ogunrinde Ojo Michael, as well as other leaders of the party that are wanted for alleged murder to surrender themselves for trial”.

“There is no violence in Ekiti State. At best, violence only resides in the minds of APC and its leaders because they spent four years unleashing terror on Ekiti people.

“It was during the APC four years rule that 10 people were murdered. Even sacred Oba’s palace was not spared, as the palace of Alasa of Ilasa, Ekiti, was invaded by thugs led by former Governor Kayode Fayemi’s Special Assistant on Internal Security, Deji Adesokan (Jaru),” Olayinka said.

According to him, “it was during Fayemi’s tenure that it became an offence to criticise the government on social media and I,Lere Olayinka was a victim”.

“Therefore, the APC should stop crying like a baby whose priced toy was taken away and face the reality of a woeful electoral loss.”
