Plot to disrupt Ekiti Assembly uncovered, says APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Ekiti State House of Assembly have uncovered a plot by seven members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to storm the Assembly with the aid of the law enforcement agents to attack the 19 APC members and install a new Speaker in order for Governor Ayo Fayose to control the House.

The Speaker, Adewale Omirin, said this is a betrayal of Ekiti people by those who should champion the cause of stability and peace to grow the economy of the state.

A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Speaker, Wole Olujobi, said the plot was hatched at Spotless Hotel owned by Fayose last Thursday where a grand plan was hatched to forcibly take over the House of Assembly leadership and install the governor’s crony as the Speaker.

Those present at the meeting, according to the statement, included the APC members, who defected to PDP two weeks ago. Others are T. K. Aluko, Bisi Kolawole, Buruji Kashamu, Sola Ajigbolamu and other top members of the PDP.
