APC Wants To Frame Me with Murder - Ayodele Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti State, has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is planning to link him to the murder of “two or three” indigenes of the state —ahead of the July 14 governorship election. Fayose accused the opposition party of the plotting to cause mayhem in the state and cast the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a bad light.

The Governor specifically alleged Dr Kayode Fayemi, flagbearer of the APC, of hatching the plot at a meeting held at the Isan-Ekiti hometown of Fayemi. According to Fayose, one of the notorious thugs in the state, known as ‘Agbara’, has been assigned to carry out the sinister act of killing innocent persons and dumping the corpses in houses belonging to the PDP chieftains in the state.

However, in his reaction, spokesperson of the APC in Ekiti state, Taiwo Olatunbosun, described the allegations as ‘big lies’ from Governor Fayose. “The allegations are just a figment of his [Fayose’s] imagination and there was no meeting held anywhere not to talk of Dr. Fayemi hometown,” Olatubosun told SaharaReporters on phone. “We have urged the police to beam its searchlight on Governor Fayose and specifically review the security situation of the state," he said.
