Chaos is looming in Ekiti State, western Nigeria, as the Governor of the state, Ayodele Fayose, has been accused of planning to hold a rally of his  party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to coincide with that of the All Progressives Party, APC, on Saturday, 24 January.

The APC had scheduled its presidential campaign rally for Ado-Ekiti on Saturday, but expressed shock that Governor Fayose decided to hold a parallel rally on the same day.

The governor’s aide, Lere Olayinka, however, debunked the allegation, saying PDP wasn’t planning any parallel rally on Saturday.

He told P.M.NEWS on Friday that APC’s allegation was a ready alibi to explain why nobody in Ekiti would come out to participate in its presidential rally on Saturday.

He said PDP was not running the state the way APC did under Governor Kayode Fayemi, adding that the PDP government of Fayose has allowed Buhari’s commercials to run on the state radio.


Governor Ayo Fayose

APC on Friday warned Governor  Fayose against disrupting or interfering in any way with its presidential campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday, saying the governor’s plan to hold a parallel rally on the same day is a recipe for chaos.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary,  Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why  Governor Fayose will schedule a rally also for Saturday at Fajuyi Park, which is a major route to the venue of the APC presidential campaign rally, the State Pavillion along NTA Road in Ado-Ekiti.

“This is nothing but a deliberate act of provocation, and it is a dangerous game by a Governor who has now become notorious for making incendiary statements and taking irrational actions. Gov. Fayose should be told in clear terms that being the Governor of a state demands huge responsibility, not brazen rascality,’’ it said.

APC wondered what point the Governor was trying to prove by seeking to set the supporters of his party, the PDP, against those of our party, which is basically what he is planning to do by organizing a parallel rally along a major route to ours at Ado-Ekiti on Saturday.

The party said its members and supporters, in line with their peaceful nature and the ethos of APC, neither disrupted nor interfered with the PDP presidential campaign rally at Ado, and finds it difficult to understand why the Governor will be plotting to trigger chaos and disrupt the APC presidential campaign rally.

“There must be a limit to mischief and waggishness, especially from a Governor that almost set Nigeria on fire with an irresponsible, incendiary and repugnant advertisement wishing our presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, dead.

“Since everything points to the fact that Gov. Fayose lacks the capacity to understand the implication of his actions, it is high time his masters called him to order before he sets the country on fire. A good starting point is to warn him against holding a parallel tally at Ado on Saturday.

“The security agencies should also advise the Governor against actions that are capable of triggering violence and disrupting public peace. If the Governor fails to heed the voice of reason, then he should be solely held responsible if there is any breach of peace or a disruption of the APC presidential campaign rally at Ado-Ekiti on Saturday,’’ it said.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has raised the alarm over the violence the PDP has launched as a campaign strategy in Lagos.

The party said that the increasing spate of violence the PDP has launched in Lagos will breach the peace and security of Lagos, if law enforcement agencies continue to turn a blind eye to the excesses of the party.

In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party said it had been inundated by reports of various acts of violence the PDP has visited on its party members all over Lagos as well as the removal of APC campaign posters in various parts of Lagos.

It warned that its tolerance and commitment to play by the rules should not be misconstrued as weakness as the party members may be forced to react if the security agencies continue to look the other way as PDP launders violence in a bid to violently capture Lagos.

“Our party is alarmed that what the PDP wants to plunge a peaceful and very secured state like Lagos to mindless violence in a bid to capture the state in view of the negative reception it receives among Lagosians. Yesterday, there were several reports of PDP instigated violence in many parts of Lagos and we wonder if this is what the PDP wants to use to capture the enlightened state of Lagos. Yesterday, in Orile Agege, an APC member, Mr. Peter Eyitayo was shot dead by thugs of a PDP candidate and another member is presently undergoing surgery as a result of gunshot by the same hoodlums in Agege. This case is well known to the Divisional Police Officer at Elere Police Station, Agege, the State Commissioner and the Lagos State Police Command. There were also reports of attacks launched by PDP thugs in Lagos Island and some other parts of Lagos.

“Also, we want to let the general public know that the PDP has embarked on a campaign of vandalizing APC posters and billboards all over Lagos and we urge Lagosians to be fully vigilant and report and apprehend these vandals where ever they see them and also report to the nearest police station or our party offices and officials

This Thug again?
meanwhile check his out https://www.nairaland.com/2109490/pictures-pdp-vs-apc...see-hilarious#30065908

Op, why building mountains out of a mole hill abi are you the one planning the chaos ? Well its possible sha

Ayo Fayose is a lunatic of the first order. God forbid me taking anything that comes out of him serious. I can hear the bell of change ringing from the four corners of this country, North, South, East and West and nothing can stop this change. Nobody can stop this change not Fayose, not even Jonathan because #ihavedecided, #weallhavedecided to make GMB the president of this country.

Any enemy of progress that doesn't want this change to happen will only not live to see it. Nothing stops the sun from shining so will nothing stop this change.

Jonathan has crippled the whole economy, I only read about Nigeria making progress on the pages of newspapers but I haven't seen any progress. Go to the grassroot and you will see the level of poverty. We the citizens have helped abdicate the government of their roles, no water, we dig our own borehole, no light, we buy gen and fuel it, education is zero, we now have to send our kids to private schools out of the meagre salary we collect, hospitals are on strike, people are dying, our girls are still missing and it took eternity for our president to even admit that these girls are indeed missing. We are hungry and our president owns 5 private jets, corruption is at its peak and our President boldly came out to tell us stealing is not corruption. Shame on Mr President. We want you no more and on the 14th of Febuhari, our thumb will do justice.

Again, #ihavedecided to vote for change, if you are with me and you also have decided to vote for change, click like, let's intimidate these PDP with likes.

God bless the General.
Vote GMB / PYO 2015.
Sai Buhari

This man has misbehaved and still misbehaving. Yet, the President does not deem it fit to caution him. He started all what the President suffered(if its true) in the North. U mocked their dead past leaders and u expect them not to retaliate. He wasn't cautioned. Now, he is at it again. PDP is using the power of incumbency to perpetrate evil and nobody is seeing it. Jonathan just want to divide dis Country with every means. Power has intoxicated him and he didn't want to relinquish it. What will happen after dis election is what I don't know for now. But still, we won't vote for Jonathan.

Loool. Na wa for this man ooo

Buhari should not waste his time going to ekiti.This is the scenario here,BRT bus will volunteer to convey APC supporters and thugs free of charge from lagos,Ibadan,oshogbo to go and cheer the certificate forger in ekiti.

Later they will brand them as ekiti crowd.Liars and purveyors of falsehood.

Which kain juju de push dis man seff..

I just pity 4him, should GEJ lose this election...even if GMB forgives every1, certainly dis man MUST go to jail

Firefire:

Rotimi Amaechi now has a pdp equivalent!
Good to know.

import thugs from lag, while we will give him thug from ND. Then u will know yorubas are only boasting

let's see how it goes tomorrow. fayose is ready for the apc. it is pay back time.

I'm loving this movie.

It's damn interesting.

Let's go there.

I guess this is the anointing fayose got from baba adeboye and kumuyi. Why others are converting thiers to breakthrough, success, good luck, na rascal he turned his own to. He never born again, he just invited them for more blessings to do what he knows how to do best.

APC should not lose their cool but they should be rest assured that the Nigeria masses will handle thug-Governor Fayose.

LouisVanGaal:

That guy called firefire is a big fool and very old. Sometimes i wonder why he behave like a toddler, the power of stomach infrastructure.

Is Fayose the Executive Governor of Ekiti state or an Appointee of the Clueless man in Aso rock?

Asari should utilize this opportunity to stone Buhari in ado ekiti.

Useless vampire buhari.

See them, crying wolf when their supporters are doing worst in north.

He who kills by d matchet does not allow cutlass cross his back

I think it is high time for the organizers of the abuja peace accord to intervene in this matter. They need to talk to the campaign team of both party before things spiral outta control. Hmmmmm. Fayose should understand that the fact that he is shouting from the roof top doesn't make him the toughest in the league of thugs. He should begin to caution himself and season his words.

Ameachi has been quiet since after the abuja accord and partly because he was asked to by Buhari.

GEJ needs to put his house in order and since when did it become the responsibility of Buhari to speak to the northerners against violence are the northern elders asleep. GEJ should rise up to the challenge as the president and speak to the northern governors, elders, religious leader to talk and educate these ppl in their own dialect so they'll understand properly the aftermaths of these attacks. This is GEJ's responsibility however GMB and indeed the APC can render their assistance.

SOMEBODY SHOULD STOP FAYOSE'S PLAN NOW.

But I trust the APC they will not campaign tmao to avoid violence

It is from the house of a weak man that they point at the house of a strong man and say "one strongman used to live there".
Fayose's gra-gra will have an eventful end soon unless.. ....

papaejima1:
Rotimi Amaechi now has a pdp equivalent!
Good to know.

Exactly my thots.. hahaha i like that guy.

This Ayo Fayose is becoming increasingly unbearable
He should act respectful like the governor he is not like some goddamn thugs. If I were from Ekiti, I'll be ashamed of him

sai Buhari till 2019

Thank God! Even if they put Fayose and Amaechi in the same boxing ring. Ameachi will cry and get into coma.
Useless APC propagandists. They always cry foul when the heat is on them.

Hmmmmmmm!
Na wah for this dude o!
Omo PDP gaaaaan!!!!!
