The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council in Ekiti State has decried the refusal of Governor Kayode Fayemi to allow the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado Ekiti to be used for its campaign rally scheduled for January 14.
The Campaign Council also condemned the attack on traders at
Old Garage, Ijoka and Oja Oba areas of Ado Ekiti by thugs
allegedly sponsored by the state government.
The Director General of the Campaign Council, Chief Dipo Anisulowo, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, that it was sad that the
All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the State had taken its
political intolerance to the level of preventing opposition parties
from using facilities belonging to the public.
Anisulowo, who said the campaign rally will hold in the State as
scheduled, added that “What is important is for our Presidential
Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be able to reach out to the people
of Ekiti and he will do that whether or not the government rescinds
its decision on the use of the stadium.”
He said it was on record that the PDP government of Ayodele Fayose
never for one day denied the APC the use of facilities belonging to
the State government, including the stadium.
The Director General, who said that supporters of the PDP in the State
will not be intimidated, described the destruction of properties and
goods of traders by government thugs just because they hailed
Fayose on Tuesday, as barbaric and unacceptable.
