Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has condemned the killing
of an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Bunmi Ojo in in the state on
Friday, August 9, 2018.
According to NAN, he was shot dead by unidentified gunmen at
a football viewing centre along Ekiti State University Road.
Fayose speaking on the issue stated that the state
government will help security agencies with all they need to bring the killers
to book.
The Governor said that the peace being enjoyed in Ekiti
state has been disrupted by APC’s do or die politics.
According to Daily Post, he said “The manner in which Bunmi
Ojo, a commissioner in the Federal Character Commission and strong ally of
Chief Segun Oni was killed is a demonstration of the extent some devilish
people can go to settle scores with their fellow men and the security agencies
must not add this gruesome murder to the diary of unresolved murders in
Nigeria.
“On the part of the State Government, all necessary
assistance will be provided for the security agencies to aide thorough
investigation of the murder and arrest of the perpetrators.
“The State was
peaceful until May 5, 2018 when members of the APC openly disrupted the party’s
primary election, with gunshots. This was after Olalekan Taiwo, aide of one of
the APC governorship aspirant, Dr Oluwole Oluleye had been shot on May 4.
“The violence at the APC primaries was followed up by the
shootings at the party secretariat during a reception organized for Dr. Kayode
Fayemi, which left Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele and six others injured as well as
invasion of the State with thugs during the July 14 governorship election.
