The Peoples Democratic Party has taken a swipe at former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, over his allegation that the recent bandit attack in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State might have been orchestrated by Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, to blackmail President Bola Tinubu.
The South West PDP, while condemning the statement, described it as “reckless, insensitive and politically dangerous,” adding that “such a statement is not only irresponsible and provocative, but also exposes Fayose’s glaring double standards on insecurity, political morality and public accountability.
The PDP Southwest Publicity Secretary, Chief Sanya Atofarati, said in a statement titled, ‘Fayse’s hypocrisy exposed’, made available to PUNCH Online in Ado Ekiti on Friday that “at a time when Nigerians are being killed, abducted and displaced by criminal elements across the country, it is both shameful and unfortunate that a former governor would seek to convert a national tragedy into a platform for political mischief.”
Recall that Fayose had, following the recent kidnapping of pupils and teachers by gunmen in some local government areas of Oyo State, alleged that the state government orchestrated the recent abduction in parts of the state as part of a plot to embarrass Tinubu.
