The Peoples Campaign Organisation, (PECO) has berated the Ayo Fayose campaign office for its serial attacks on the convoys of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti yesterday evening, the PECO spokesperson, Mr Suleiman Ojo, said its volunteers were eyewitnesses to the gun attacks unleashed on the convoy of Dr Fayemi as the convoy snaked through the main highway in the state capital twilight of Monday.
"We are witnesses to this criminal act. Our volunteers on a campaign for good governance saw how scores of gun men came out of Fayose's campaign office to shoot at the convoy of the Governor. We urge the Federal Government to stem the emerging culture of violence in a state that has enjoyed relative peace for the past four years", Ojo said.
In the statement, Mr Ojo said the attacks appear coordinated and with premeditated targets.
"The convoy was moving at a slow speed and usually without siren," he said. "Suddenly armed men trooped out of Fayose's campaign office and started shooting at the governor's convoy. We do not have the figures of possible casualties, but many people were injured and there was a stampede"
PECO said the attack by Fayose's supporters infuriated hundreds of bystanders who confronted the armed men but they were dispersed by the sporadic gunshots.
"PECO is in Ekiti to help nurture democratic culture through a peaceful election. We are worried that a group said to be backed by the Federal authority appears to be bent on disregarding basic electoral rules," the statement concluded.

ReplyDeleteAPC is also doing the same, the APC is very good when it come's to using the media. Tinubu knows how to kill story. What of the one they did to Labour Party? They should all stop this rubbish of always using the children of the poor while their own are in Europe and America.
