Frustrated by very low turn out that marred Fayemi’s campaign rally
at Ekiti East LG today, and the refusal of the Kabiyesi Olomuo of Omuo
Ekiti to receive him at his palace, Fayemi’s thugs went on rampage,
destroying PDP campaign billboards.
Ekiti guber: PDP condemns Fayemi over alleged destruction of campaign billboards, posters
The
campaign organisation of the Ekiti State deputy governor and Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Prof Kolapo Olusola, has
condemned the wanton destruction of its campaign billboards by thugs
supervised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship
candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, saying: “Only politicians with electoral
failure staring them in the face will go about destroying posters and
billboards as if that will translate into votes.”
The Kolapo
Olusola Campaign Organisation (KOCO), in a statement issued on Monday,
by its Director of Media and Publicity, Lere Olayinka, said billboards
and posters in Omuo Ekiti, Ekiti East Local Government, Ikole Ekiti,
Ikere Ekiti-Ado Ekiti road and other towns were destroyed today
(Monday), adding that, “destroying billboards won’t save the APC from
defeat.”
The statement read; “Today, Ekiti State witnessed a
return of crude and animalistic display of political intolerance as
thugs on the campaign train of the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi went
about destroying campaign billboards and posters of the PDP.
“It
should be noted that there had been no political violence in Ekiti State
until Fayemi declared his ambition to run for the governorship. Even
his party members have not been spared in his usual display political
thuggery. The whole world saw what happened at the APC primary election.
“However,
we wish to state that destroying campaign billboards and posters will
not stop Fayemi and his APC from suffering worse electoral defeat than
they suffered in 2014.
“Ekiti people are resolute and on July 14,
they will speak with one voice against Fayemi and his agents of
political and economic tyranny that plunged the state into debt and put
jobs of thousands of government workers, especially teachers on the
line.
“Like the locusts were shown the way out of Ekiti in 2014,
they will be dislodged finally on July 14 no matter the level at which
they display violence.”
