Ekiti State Government has lambasted the Social Democratic Party SDP and the former Attorney General of the State, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi over a report to security agents alleging that the State Governor had set up a “task force” to disrupt the June 18, 2022 election
Mr. Owoseeni Ajayi had recently petitioned the security agencies in the state, alleging that some prominent citizens and union leaders in the state have been recruited by the Governor to disrupt the election but the report was faulted by the government describing the action of Ajayi as irresponsible.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Hon. Yinka Oyebode said the allegation would have been ignored as another dubious fabrication from the stable of the troubled SDP, but for the fact it was written by a supposed learned fellow.
According to Oyebode, it is rather ridiculous that a former Attorney General of the State is the one assigned the role of Chief fiction writer for the dying party.
He said “While we pity Ajayi for descending to this low level of engagement, we urge the relevant security agencies in the State to thoroughly investigate the allegations contained in the report, with a view to determining the truth of the matter and taking necessary steps to ensure that purveyors of lies and those who make false claims are brought to book.
Oyebode said Governor Kayode Fayemi’s administration remains committed to improving the quality of lives of Ekiti citizens through effective implementation of the five-point development agenda.
“The credentials of the Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum as a decent and pragmatic leader are well noted by well-meaning Nigerians across the geo-political zones and cannot be tainted by unfounded claims of a gang of hack writers who have taken abode in SDP Oyebode said.
