Gunmen Shoot At Ekiti APC Members by raphok1(op): 11:14am On Apr 02, 2015
Crisis returned to Ekiti State on Wednesday as
gunmen attacked the All Progressives Congress
Secretariat and jubilant members of the party.
The APC members had just returned from the
streets of Ado Ekiti where they had gone to
celebrate the victory of the APC candidate, Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in the Saturday’s
Presidential election.
The state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun,
who addressed journalists in Ado Ekiti after the
attack said the gunmen came in three Hilux vans
with Government House registration number and
three men in police uniform sitting in the front.
Accusing Governor Ayodele Fayose and the Police
of complicity in the attack, he said the party had
earlier got information that plan was being
hatched by some top officials in the Government
House to prevent any celebration in the state.
He alleged that the gunmen were members of a
killer gang sent to disrupt the APC victory party
by the governor.
But Fayose said the attack was a self-sponsored
attack by the APC to make it look like an attack
from outside, urging the people to disregard the
allegations.
Olatubosun wondered why the hoodlums attacked
the secretariat unchallenged in the presence of a
detachment of police led by the Divisional Police
Officer of the Ologede Police Station, Ado Ekiti
that had provided security for the APC.
According to him, the gunmen brandishing guns,
cutlasses and axes, rained bullets on the
secretariat and destroyed no fewer than five cars
parked at the secretariat.
Olatunbosun mentioned Femi, Basiru, Ayo and
Opeyemi as the alleged leaders of the attack.
The intensity of the attack, he said, forced party
members and passers-by to scamper for safety.
“We had few members left when they came
because some of our teeming members who held
a peaceful victory procession were already leaving
before they came. They shot at our secretariat.
“We were aware that they were coming but we
never knew Governor Fayose could do anything
funny because of the mood of the nation, though,
we heard him boasting that he won’t allow
anyone to mark the victory of Buhari in Ekiti
State,” he said.

When they kill them, that will make you fulfill your destiny or become an achievement for you I think.

When will Fayose cease doing like a political tout? I thought he has learnt his lesson from GMB's victory but Fayose's hatred for opposition seems to be escalating everyday with his irrational attitudes.
