Ahead of the June governorship election in Ekiti State, the Segun Oni Movements has accused the the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) of planning to unleash terror on the people of the state especially members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP)
The group said that APC singled out members of the Segun Oni's Social Democratic Party because of it's rising profile that has suddenly made it the party to beat in the forthcoming Election in the state.
This was contained in a statement made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Sunday by the Director of Media and Publicity, Segun Oni Movements, Mr Jackson Adebayo.
He explained that the leadership of the APC met with Governor Kayode Fayemi at the government house shortly before the national convention of their party where the defection of some prominent members of the party to the Social Democratic Party was review and came out with the decision to change their strategy to physical attack of the opposition SDP meetings whenever it holds.
According to Adebayo, the conclusion on adoption of mayhem was at the expression of worry by the State governor on what he described as weakling posture of the party in the state in few weeks to the election.
It was added that the Governor complained that the executives of the APC have become so docile to the extent that in some local government areas, the party has becomes shamelessly deflated as members even dissolved into the SDP in droves.
Adebayo further explained that it was at this stage the leadership of the party became resolute to apply the strategy of attacking any where the SDP is holding meetings with their thugs while the coordination of the activities of the thugs was assigned to the office of the Chief of staff to the governor.
Adebayo stressed that part of the plan also was to be attacking individuals they believe is a leader in the SDP accross the sixteen local government areas in other to create a situation where members of the party would not be able to gather for meetings again with the assignment of carrying out this placed on the table of the Council chairman of the individuals local government and LCDA.
He noted that those who attended the meeting who advised against the operation were vehemently rebuked and threatened to be sent out of the meeting while some were accused of working with SDP to undermine the governor.
The Segun Oni Movements said that it's pertinent to raise this alarm at this particular time because the APC and violence are just like six and half dozen and that has been their antecedents especially when they sensed that the people are not with them anymore.
" We shall not however fold our arms if they make real their ingenious and barbaric plan as nobody is endowed with the monopoly of violence but we call on the traditional rulers in all the local government areas to call the leaders of the APC in their Areas to order as any attempt to try to execute their ignoble plans will spell doom."
"At the same time we call on the State Commissioner of Police , the Director of the Department of State Services and the heads of other security agencies to warn the leadership of the APC to stop their plans of destruction before it's too late."
