Oyebanji Vs Ojo: Allegations Of Violence Rock APC Ahead Of Governorship Primary
According to Nivo News, tensions within the Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) deepened on Sunday as governorship aspirant Kayode Ojo and Governor Biodun Oyebanji traded accusations over alleged politically motivated attacks and intimidation ahead of the party’s primary election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Ojo, through his campaign team led by Olukayode Oluyemo, alleged that government-backed agents were behind a wave of violence, harassment, and unlawful arrests targeting his supporters across several communities, including Igede-Ekiti, Otun-Ekiti, Ikere-Ekiti, and Emure-Ekiti. He further alleged that campaign offices and properties belonging to his loyalists had been vandalized, describing the incidents as a “direct assault on democratic rights.”
The aspirant claimed that intelligence reports pointed to plans by suspected political thugs loyal to the governor to disrupt his ward-to-ward campaign tour scheduled to begin Thursday. He also referenced a viral video where threats were allegedly issued against him and his supporters. Ojo called on security agencies to forestall any breakdown of law and order while demanding the release of detained supporters and an independent probe into the alleged attacks.
He warned that the use of state institutions to suppress political opponents could destabilize the peace of the state.
Responding, the governor’s Special Adviser on Information, Yinka Olatunbosun, dismissed the allegations as “baseless and mischievous.” He accused Ojo of seeking cheap publicity and attempting to cover up his unpopularity within the party.
“No popular aspirant or loyal APC member will accuse the government of blocking their movement or attacking their supporters. It’s not only untrue but a figment of imagination — a lie from the pit of hell,” Olatunbosun said, stressing that Ojo was only dragging the governor’s name into unnecessary controversy ahead of the party primary.
