Plot To Disrupt Ekiti Assembly Uncovered

The All Progressives Congress members in Ekiti State House of Assembly have uncovered a plot by seven members of the People’s Democratic Party to storm the Assembly with the aid of the law enforcement agents to attack the 19 APC members and instal a new minority Speaker in a grand plan to stoke crisis that will make Governor Ayodele Fayose take control of the House. The Speaker, Dr Adewale Omirin, said this is a betrayal of Ekiti people by those who should champion the cause of stability and peace to grow the economy of the state. A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Speaker, Wole Olujobi, said the plot was hatched at Spotless Hotel owned by Fayose last Thursday where a grand plan was hatched to forcebly take over the House of Assembly leadership and install the governor’s crony as the Speaker. Those present at the meeting, according to the statement, included the APC members who defected to PDP two weeks ago. Others are T.K Aluko, Bisi Kolawole, Buruji Kashamu, Sola Ajigbolamu and other top members of PDP. This followed same plot to storm the House of Assembly few weeks ago by PDP members before the plan leaked. One of the defected members from Ekiti North reportedly insisted at the meeting that he had the capacity to carry out the plot provided that funds are made available to mobilise for the execution of the plot. “The attention of the security agents is called to this diabolical and distabilising act to set the state on fire. Our state witnessed four years of interrupted peace and progress under Governor Kayode Fayemi, but just two weeks into the new administration, the state is in the news again for bad reasons like was the case between 2003 and 2006 when the same helsman was in the driver seat of Ekiti State,” Olujobi said. He said while APC members in the Assembly will remain focused in their legislative duties to deliver good governance to Ekiti people, the PDP-led government should concentrate on good governance like its predecessor instead of causing chaos in the state.
