Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised the alarm that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is importing thugs to the state from Lagos to cause mayhem in the state under the guise that they are PDP supporters.
The PDP said the thugs, being mobilised from Lagos were being clothed in PDP vest and face cap
In a press release in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday by the Publicity Secretary, Pastor Kola Oluwawole, the party called on security agencies to be on the look out for the trouble makers.
“Only last Monday, we raised the alarm that the APC had commissioned some people to attack PDP leaders and were threatening PDP leaders, some people said we were only raise false alarm, but three days later, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, a leader of the PDP in Ado-Ekiti was killed.
“We have it on good authority that the APC has commissioned thugs coming in four 18-seater buses to Ekiti. They were said to have left Lagos around 11 pm on Saturday ( yesterday). They were armed with acid, cutlasses, guns, sledge hammer, syringe and other dangerous weapons to inflict bodily harm on the people of Ekiti State.
“These thugs will appear in PDP vests and face cap to execute their dastardly act within one month. Certainly, they are likely to have arrived Ekiti by now. They will move about on motorcycle to execute their dastardly act.
“Ekiti people who gave their mandate to Ayodele Fayose are their targets and as well the PDP members. The APC thugs are on revenge mission to avenge the defeat of Kayode Fayemi in the June 21 election and for aborting last Monday’s judicial coup.
“Ekiti people are enjoined to be vigilant and to report any strange element to the police.
Ekiti PDP members are to be wary of fake members in their midst and report them.
“We call on the Inspector General of Police and Director General of the Department of State Security Service to go into action and pre-empt the plan of the APC,” he said.
Oluwawole appealed to lovers of peace in Ekiti and beyond to call on the APC to allow peace to reign and allow the will of the people to prevail.
