Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has expressed the fear that some people might be planning for him the fate that befell the late Chief Bola Ige, who was assassinated not long after some thugs removed his cap at an event in Ile-Ife.
Fayose recalled the deceased Minister of Justice’s story after his cap too was removed at the Peoples Democratic Party’s rally in Akure, on Wednesday.
He noted in a video that he had initiated a process to get those behind the act.
According to him, he would make a formal report of the incidence to the security agencies and the party relevant authorities”.
A statement by his media aide added: “It is not something to be handled with levity as security agencies will have to unravel all the thugs brought to the event and their sponsors. “That’s how late Chief Bola Ige’s cap was removed in Ile-Ife, Osun State then and we all know what happened later.
“So this one will not be ignored and treated as one of those things.
“The masterminds had it all planned and they followed it up by celebrating what they saw as the success of their plot. They even capped it up by circulating the video.
“So it was not an accident, it was planned. But those who planned it only succeeded in advertising their political myopism because the popularity of the brand Ayo Fayose, Osokomole cannot be rubbished by such a childish act.
“That they must have seen in the reaction of the people at the rally and I am sure they know that they can’t get such loud ovation even if they spend all the money in this world.
“As for me, I am unperturbed and I must say it clearly that those newcomers to the PDP and their old allies, who won’t mind soiling the image of the party to achieve their aims will not be allowed to succeed.”
