The Publicity Secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Ekiti State, Mr Jackson Adebayo, was
on Friday night attacked by three
armed men in Ado-Ekiti, the state
capital.
Narrating his experience on Saturday
after receiving treatment at a
private hospital, Jackson, whose hea
was smashed with gun butt, said he
was accosted by three armed men on
motorbike at Federal Housing Estate
area of the town at about 9pm on
Friday.
"I was going for a vigil in the
church when three armed men on a
motorbike accosted me. Two of them
came down with their guns and
started shooting sporadically. They
started smashing my head against the
hard asphalt on the road and the ma
on the bike ordered them to shoot
me, but the men said they should
leave me.
"I wouldn't describe it as a robber
case because apart from my phone an
tablet that they took, the money
they found when they ransacked my
pockets, was returned. Few days ago,
I issued a press release on the
purported trip of Mrs Aisha Buhari
to America on behalf of our party
and I started receiving threat calls
on my phones.
"The callers were threatening me to
leave the woman alone and few day
later, this happened. We are in a
democracy and we have the right to
speak as a party. If anybody thinks
by engaging in violence they can
silence us and our party, they are
mistaken. We are for the people and
the voice of the people is the voice
of God," he said.
Also commenting on the development,
the State Chairman of PDP, Mr
Gboyega Oguntuase, accused the
opposition All Progressives. Congres
(APC) of formenting violence in the
state.
"APC are known for eliminating those
against them. They killed no fewer
than 12 people when they were in
government here. From Chief Awolumat
who was killed in Omuo-Ekiti, to Ay
Jeje and Juliana Adewumi who were
killed in Erijiyan.
They also killed Foluso Ogundare in
Emure-Ekiti to Chief Omolafe Aderiye
that they killed in Ado-Ekiti, thei
stock in trade is murder of
opposition figures.
"Since they have started to go for
my executive and party members, we
are calling on the people of the
state and God to save us from their
hands. They have failed to alleviate
the economic woes in Nigeria and as
far as we are concerned, we are
committed to our goal of making
Ekiti a better place to live in and
we are for peace," he said.
