PDP Crisis In Ekiti Deepens:Secretary Shot At Party Secretariat by sayyid(m): 9:40am On Aug 01, 2015
The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Ekiti State took a violent turn
on Friday, July 31, as there was a shootout at
the party secretariat in Ado Ekiti.
A factional secretary of the party, Dr Tope
Aluko was injured during the shootout, while
passersby, commuters and motorists
scampered for safety, The Nation reports.
Aluko was said to have been shot when he led
members of the Tunde Olatunde faction to
take over the party’s secretariat not long after
the Idowu Faleye faction announced the
suspension of four members of the State
Working Committee (SWC) led by Olatunde
and left the building.
While Olatunde is the acting chairman of a
faction that has 11 out of 14 SWC members,
Faleye is the chairman of the faction
recognized by Governor Ayo Fayose.
In a telephone conversation, Aluko said: “ I
was shot at close range by policemen. As I was
parking, they opened fire on me at about 3.40
pm. I went there and the policemen were
waiting for me and what followed was shooting.
My cloth was drenched in blood and I am
receiving treatment as you speak with me. I
went to the party secretariat because that is my
office as the PDP secretary in the state .”
According to him, Governor Fayose should be
told that the war has just begun and he
cannot intimidate them. “ We will never leave
the party for Fayose or any other person. Tell
him that the war has started and we are battle-
ready and the people of the state will know the
real members of the party,” he added.
Speaking on the matter, the spokesman of
Ekiti police command, Alberto Adeyemi, said
no complaint has been made at the station by
anybody that he was shot or that any shooting
incident took place.
“Our men were there until they (members of
Faleye faction) left and we are not aware of
any other meeting held after they had left,” he
said.
Yesterday, Faleye’s faction had announced
the suspension of four exco members over
alleged anti-party activities.. The affected
officers are; Dr.Tope Aluko, (State Secretary),
Hon.Tunde Olatunde, Hon. Mrs Busola
Ayobode (State Women Leader), and Hon.
Olanrewaju (State Auditor).
On Thursday, July 30, the National Working
Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) endorsed Governor Fayose’s
backed faction which is headed by Idowu
Faleye-led executive committee of the party
in Ekiti state.
