Ayo Fayose, the former Governor of Ekiti state, has alleged that some persons within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West region are plotting to kill him like former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige.
Fayose stated
this while reacting to the removal of his cap by suspected hoodlums as he made
his way to the podium at the Ondo PDP governorship campaign on Wednesday,
October 7.
Bola Ige's
cap was also removed at the Palace of the Ooni of Ife a few hours before he was
murdered at his Bodija residence in Ibadan on December 23, 2001.
In a
statement released by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said he will make
formal report of the incidence to the security agencies and relevant party
relevant authorities, noting it was not something to be handled with levity.
“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.” the statement read
He added that
he is unperturbed by the incident.
“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,” he said.
