By Oluwafunke Lasisi
Former Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has said that he was not distracted by
the attempt made to kill him last
Tuesday by yet-to-be identified
assassins, saying rather, it will strengthen
him more in his determination to defeat Governor Kayode Fayemi at next year’s
governorship poll.
His declaration came as the Campaign Director General of Ayo
Fayose for Governor, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi, asked the police to conduct a thorough
investigation into the matter.
In a statement signed
by the Director of Publicity and
Research of Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation (AFCO), Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado Ekiti
Saturday, Fayose said the attack has added impetus to his resolve to
ensure that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) government was sacked from the
Ekiti Government House next year.
“I am unpertubed by the attack and I cannot be intimidated.
The spate of violence in the state, the
murder of Ayodele Jeje and the attempt on my life are making the ACN government
more unpopular. I am advising all my
supporters not to get disturbed. God is my refuge,” Fayose said in the
statement.
Meanwhile, the Campaign Director General of Ayo Fayose for
Governor, Ajayi, has urged the police to
unmask the attackers, saying the police should not wait until life is lost
before they take drastic measure to curb
violence in the state.
He said that the attack on Fayose has exposed the plan of
the ACN government to eliminate him and other People Democratic Party (PDP)
leaders before next year’s election.
