Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has reacted to the suspension of PDP’s convention on Wednesday, saying the Buhari-led government and the APC wants the PDP dead.
Speaking through his spokesman, Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose condemned the action of the police who sealed off Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt, the venue of the convention.
As a result Mr. Fayose could not attend the convention owing to the blockade of the road leading to the Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State government house where he was accommodated.
“I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.
“If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn’t they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?
They don’t have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be emboldened to challenge them,” he said.
