The Ekiti State chapter of the APC has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police and Director General of the DSS over the destruction of the campaign billboard of its governorship candidate, Kayode Fayemi, allegedly on the orders of Gov. Ayodele Fayose.
Supporters of the PDP were accused of descending on a huge campaign billboard of APC candidate, Fayemi at St Augustine Secondary School on Wednesday in Oye Ekiti, headquarters of Oye Local Government Area and destroyed it.
The APC, in a petition to the Police IG and DG DSS, dated May 23, 2018, accused Fayose of ordering the destruction of the billboard.
In the petition signed by its State Secretary, Paul Omotosho, the party said its supporters had been under various forms of attacks by thugs loyal to the governor.
It said Wednesday’s attack on the APC candidate’s billboard was allegedly carried out by Chairman Oye Local Government Council, Alonge Sunday; Oye Local Government PDP Chairman, Sunday Ojo; and the Councillor for Oye Ward II, Odeyemi, among others, acting on Fayose’s order.
