Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will next Tuesday visit Ekiti State to kick off the governorship campaign of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Kayode Fayemi, for the July 14 election.

This is coming as the Director General of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Hon.
Opeyemi Bamidele, has said over 50 per cent of the campaign that would have promoted the candidate of the APC in the
July 14 election has been done by Governor Ayodele Fayose.

But in a swift reaction, the Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation (KOCO), the campaign organisation of the Ekiti State Deputy Governor and Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, has described as the height of wickedness, using Bamidele’s name to issue statements in support for Fayemi.

Also expected at Fayemi’s campaign rally is the APC National Chairman, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun and the Chairman of the National Campaign Committee for
Ekiti State election and Governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, as well as members of his committee.

A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Wole Olujobi, has also raised the alarm over an alleged move by the PDP in the state to instigate some segments of workers against Fayemi in a campaign of calumny, including mobilising thugs to cause violence in the state ahead of the July 14 governorship poll.

Olujobi warned Fayose against any act that could stoke violence in the run-up to the election.

He said: "We are aware of moves to instigate some segments of the society against Fayemi to cause disaffection between him and a large part of Ekiti people, particularly workers, all in an attempt to orchestrate a deep-seated resentment against the APC candidate.

"We are also aware of moves to set up fake fifth columnists to act as saboteurs to APC's electioneering activities, including using fake APC members to stoke violence to disrupt June 19, 2018, mega rally at the Kayode Oluyemi Stadium in Ado-Ekiti to be led by Vice President Osinbajo where Fayemi and his deputy will officially receive APC flag to contest the July 14 poll. The trend started last week when thugs bearing guns stormed Ado-Ikere road in the night to destroy Fayemi's campaign billboard in front of the hotel of former APC governorship aspirant, Dr. Wole Oluyede, including threatening the owner for supporting Fayemi and not Prof Olusola Eleka of PDP only to be followed in the night of same day with the murder of APC supporter in Ado-Ekiti. We hereby remind trouble-makers that this is not 2014 when they had a field day killing, maiming and unleashing mayhem on the opposition.

"The security agencies are more than ready to live up to their responsibilities, and we advise trouble-makers working for the state government to go on holiday from now till the end of the election because anyone caught causing crisis will have a date with the security agencies for appropriate sanctions.”


Meanwhile, Bamidele said Fayose had paved way for Fayemi to win the election on the premise that many of the towns that gave the governor votes in the June 21, 2014, governorship election have not benefited from any democratic dividend since the advent of the present government.

The APC chieftain stated that the fact that Fayemi was able to spread the democratic goodies across 133 towns while superintending over the state has reduced the campaign burden and broaden his chances to have
a resounding victory in the election.

Bamidele, said this in a message sent to APC governorship candidate,
Dr Kayode Fayemi, signposting his support to the party campaign held in Iyin Ekiti yesterday.

The message, signed by Bamidele’s media aide, Ahmed Salami, urged
Ekiti people to embrace Fayemi, and key into the vision being pioneered by APC to reclaim the state from “those that are pillaging the people’s commonwealth.”
