PRESS RELEASE by LP APC BARES ITS FANGS: FELL ANOTHER EKITI SON. The Ekiti State Labour Party condemns in its strongest terms another extra-judicial killing allegedly by APC thugs this morning in Ado Ekiti, the state capital. This is coming just four days after late Foluso Ogundare, a Labour Party supporter who was murdered in cold blood by APC thugs last year November was committed to mother earth at Emure Ekiti in the Emure local government area of the state. This is one death too many and we wish to appeal to the Inspector General of Police to take adequate measures towards securing lives and property especially as we draw close to the governorship elections. We also wish to state unequivocally that Ekiti people appreciate the efforts of the state police command and are solidly behind them it in its quest to rid the state of unwanted criminals and serial killers. We enjoin the State Police Commissioner and his men not to be distracted by the antics of the masters of rig and roast but remain focused on making the forthcoming gubernatorial election peaceful, hitch-free and credible. We also condemn the attack on our party vehicle by APC thugs at the Ijigbo roundabout earlier this morning and wish to remind Nigerians that this mornings killing by suspected thugs of the APC is the ninth extra-judicial killing that has taken place in the life of Dr. John Kayode Fayemis beleaguered administration. We are not surprised that the APC thugs dropped their partys emblem on the victim after the dastardly act. This is their stock in trade as they did same during the 2009 elections rerun at Oye Ekiti when Saheed, a member of the PDP was killed by thugs of the defunct ACN and the killers rushed to the press claiming he belonged to their party not until the family came out to debunk their claim. The latest victims offence was that he and others at a popular roundabout in Ado Ekiti booed the governors convoy as it drove past them. It is instructive that eye witness accounts alleged that out-going Governor Kayode Fayemi could not stop yet another gruesome murder of this Ekiti indigene, who, as the chief security officer of the state, he swore to protect upon assuming office over three years ago. Needless to say that Fayemis government has failed Ekiti people and should therefore bow its head in shame. As the people of Ekiti mourn yet another youth cut down in his prime, we commiserate with the family of this young man and pray for the repose of his soul. We equally call on our people to remain calm and law abiding but resolute and determined to go to the polls next saturday to vote out the tyrannical and bloodletting APC-led government.
