Tope Aluko and Ayodele Fayose
Temitope Aluko who is a former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic
Party in Ekiti State has called on the Inspector-General of Police and
to grant him protection, alleging threat to his life.
Aluko, who addressed a press conference, yesterday in Lagos,
accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State of plans to undermine his
safety.
He, however, called on the Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister for Justice to fast-track the happenings of the 2014
governorship election in the state.
His words: “I have not fled the country and equally on bail
from the agencies while snippets of issues ensuing from these statements
are filtering into the ears of the actors/beneficiaries such that
attack are now coming from all direction targeted at me.
“While the army council sacked their officers as a result of
the investigation, it is unfortunate that the civilian
actors/beneficiaries of the Ekitigate are not only walking the street
freely, but also threatening my person and family.”
Describing the happenings of the 2014 governorship election as
gross abuse of power executive power, illegality, harassment and
intimidation, he said “this is a call on the Attorney General of the
Federation not to allow all these to be swept under the carpet in view
of recent happening. The far reaching effect and implication on our
electoral process and procedure are obvious.”
He dismissed the claims by a former speaker of the Ekiti State
House of Assembly, Mr Dele Olugbemi, that he prostrated by governor
Fayose describing it as blackmail.
He said “I never prostrated with Hon. Olugbemi anywhere.
Olugbemi will do anything for Fayose after all, he is an appointee of
Fayose. Please note that I understand Fayose and I understand the
working system. I can tell you that Olugbemi’s press statement was
composed directly by Fayose and delivered to Olugbemi though his media
aide.”
