Ayodele Fayose said Seyi Makinde and Bode George were responsible for the assault on him in Ondo State.
News Rain Nigeria gathered that the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has accused the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, and former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, masterminding the assault on him at the party’s campaign rally for Ondo State governorship election in Ondo town on Wednesday
Recall that on Wednesday, the former Ekiti State Governor suffered humiliation from thugs at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mega rally in Ondo State, in a viral video, Fayose upon arrival at the venue of the rally was accosted by some PDP supporters who removed his cap and threatened to beat him up.
According to reports, some of the youths said Fayose deserves the treatment he got for insulting some elders of the party, especially Chief Olabode George.
Meanwhile, reacting to the incidence through his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, the former governor said despite the shameful act, he won’t stop saying the truth concerning the running of the party in the southwest zone and those who have failed to produce any result in Lagos State since 1999 will be made to retire.
He said he will make a formal report of the incident to the security agencies and the party relevant authorities, noting that it was not something to be handled with levity as security agencies will have to unravel all the thugs brought to the event and their sponsors.
He said: “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 a 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 spoiling the image of the party to achieve their aims will not be allowed to succeed.”
At the event, Fayose was reportedly later shielded and escorted to his seat by security operatives.
