Allow Peace Reign in Ekiti – State PDP Secretary tells APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, has described the impeachment crisis rocking the state as a contrived plan by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, to throw the state into chaos after losing the June 21 governorship election in the state. The secretary of the party in the state, Dr. Tope Aluko, who made this known yesterday on “Daybreak Nigeria”, a breakfast television programme on Ekiti State Television, accused the APC of desperation and an attempt to regain power through the backdoor. He said the impeachment plot against Governor Ayo Fayose by the 19 APC lawmakers was not in the interest of the people, warning the opposition to toe the line of peace and face the reality of the day. Aluko said: “The position of the APC is that ‘we must govern’; that is the problem we are having with the opposition. What they don’t understand is that this is not the mandate of Fayose, it is the mandate of the people. “If anybody in APC is relying on the power at the centre to crush a mandate given to us here, that will not work. “It is not because they won the presidency, it is because fomenting trouble is inherent in them and what we are asking from them is that they should have the interest of the people at heart. “They will soon come to power at the centre; we are in power in Ekiti. They should allow peace to reign”.
