The executive Governor of Ekiti State. Mr Ayodele Fayose, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dead because the APC does not want any opposition to challenge its obnoxious policies and inability to tackle the problems confronting the country.
Mr. Fayose released a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi and was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.
Fayose, who 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, said the condoning off of the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt by the police on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had the input of the APC-led Federal Government, saying the police only acted the script written by the APC-led government.
“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.
“The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere. All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition. xxx What business has APC with PDP internal matters?
“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 embloden to challenge them,” he said.
The governor wondered what would have happened if the PDP acted like the APC and refused to hand over to the APC last year. Fayose said it was unfortunate that Senator Ali Modu Sheriff had turned himself to an instrument in the hands of APC leaders to destablise the PDP.
He also urged PDP members from across the country that came to the convention not to feel discouraged, saying the truth would prevail in the long run.
