Former
Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State, Dr Temitope
Aluko 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.”
