How PDP, LP Attacked Us — APC

How PDP, LP attacked us — APC

On Monday, during a campaign rally of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Ayo Fayose, the All Progressives Congress, APC, was allegedly attacked by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Egbe-Ekiti community in Gbonyin Local Council.
The party also accused the Labour Party, LP, of carrying out attacks on its supporters in Ipole-Iloro, Ekiti West Local Council.
However, the PDP and LP have described the allegations as untrue.
Our correspondent gathered that a house belonging to a chieftain of the APC, Chief Dapo Awojolu, was allegedly hit by the rampaging thugs.
According to eyewitnesses, the thugs, who came in a truck were armed with guns, cutlasses and axes.
When contacted, Chief Awojolu, said the attack was unprovoked and that he had reported the incident to the Police. He said the opposition considered him a threat in Gbonyin Local
Government and were therefore all out to destroy him.
The spokesperson of Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Dimeji Daniels, said “the PDP should know that guns will not win this election. Only records of excellent performance will and Dr. Kayode Fayemi has that in abundance. Having seen his giant strides, our people have made up their minds on re-electing him. That is a red card to the PDP and its co-traveller, Labour Party. They can amuse themselves for as long as they want. The truth is that Ekiti people have red-carded them.
The attack was provocative —PDP
Reacting to the allegation, spokesperson of the PDP, Pastor Kola Oluwawole said, “It was a deliberate act of provocation. The APC had no programme at all in that local government area because the PDP was granted official permit to organise a rally there but Chief Dapo Awojolu deliberately organised a parallel programme in his house where he said he wanted to kill a ram. The DPO in that local government warned him not to do such. He organised the parallel programme deliberately to provoke the PDP. For the APC to allege that it was the PDP that first attacked them, is malicious, ridiculous and unfortunate.”
Ipole-Iloro attacks
Also, the APC accused the Labour Party of allegedly carrying out violence against its members in Ipole-Iloro, Ekiti West Local Government area of the state.
The party, which alleged that campaign billboards of Dr. Fayemi in the community were shredded in a most venous manner, fingered
LP supporters in the attack.
It’s mere fabrication—LP
In its reaction, the Labour Party described the APC’s allegations as “mere fabrications.”
