Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has described Sunday’s attack on his convoy by a police team as an attempt to assassinate him.
He lamented the conduct of the Commander of Police Mobile Force in Ado-Ekiti, Gabriel Selenkere and his officers during the All Progressives Congress (APC) symbolic sweeping of roads.
Governor Fayemi while speaking with news men in Ado-Ekiti before leaving for Abuja on Monday to take the case against Ekiti police’s conduct to Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar.
His words below:
“My immediate interpretation of what happened yesterday (Sunday) is that there was an assault on the government and the people of Ekiti State and if one were to be extreme in one’s interpretation, we could go on and say it was an assassination attempt against the governor of Ekiti State.
“That is why I am going to Abuja this morning to see Mr President and the Inspector General of police. I won’t like to jump into conclusions because I have spoken to the relevant people in authority and I believe appropriate steps will be taken”, Fayemi said.
The Governor said democracy needed the support of everyone to thrive, adding “The only way you can protect this democracy is to ensure that the security agencies, the electoral body and all state agencies must ensure that there is level playing field for all players. We don’t want a situation in which unprovoked attacks are levelled against innocent citizens.
