A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has been described as an attention seeker following the alarm he raised on the attack on him at the campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo town, Ondo State.
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Taiwo Adisa, said this while reacting to Fayose’s claim that the masterminds of the attack were Makinde and another chieftain of the PDP, Chief Bode George.
Adisa, when contacted, said his boss does not intend to join issues with the former governor, whom he said appears perpetually desirous of hugging the limelight even when the occasion doesn’t desire such grandstanding.
He said: “I believe that ex-Governor Fayose and his handlers need to look far away from Oyo State in search of their enemies.
“Governor Makinde has no link whatsoever with the incident Fayose’s aide was talking about.
“We expect all right-thinking members of the PDP to join the Governor of Oyo State in the prosecution of the noble and democratic assignment he is executing on behalf of the PDP in Ondo State at this time, instead of seeking to distract him one way or the other.
“The governor will, however, not be distracted either on the task at hand or on the well- intentioned desire to join other leaders to rebuild the PDP in the South West geopolitical zone.”
