All My Security Men Have Been Withdrawn, Fayose Laments

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has claimed that all the security aides attached to him have been withdrawn.

The governor, speaking when he visited the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe, at his palace in the state capital, claimed that his life and that of his family is not secure.

Recall that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the poll which held last Saturday.

According to him, APC’s Kayode Fayemi is allegedly protected by at least two units of policemen while he has no single policeman to protect him.

He said: “I have come to officially tell you sir, as the paramount ruler of Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, that the Government House was invaded by the police.

“Over 400 of our members are being detained as we speak now.

“After the poll on Saturday, my wife was prevented from entering the Government House for about 45 minutes.

“Since last Wednesday, security agents had laid siege to the Government House, and were subjecting people to untold hardship coming in or going out.

“The poll has come and gone irrespective of what we went through.

“The constitution says I am still the governor till October 16 this year. Our state radio and television stations have been shut down.

“And there has been no means of getting across to our people.

“It was only yesterday morning that security agents at the entrance of the Government House were withdrawn.

“If we have been robbed, I still have a right to life and my family too, has a right to life.

“All my security men have been withdrawn since last Wednesday, and I am only left with just a few. Harassing me is not in the interest of democracy.

“People must intervene before things go out of hand. I don’t know why we should be in this situation in 2018,” he said
