"They said I didn't give them Government Contracts, Employment and Money As Leader of Government Business" - Aribisogan.
The Leader of Government Business at Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Olugboyega Aribisogan has said that he was attacked by some youth in Ward 3, Ikole Local government because of his position as the "Leader of Government Business".
Reacting to a video that is being circulated by some people in the social media since yesterday, the lawmaker representing Ikole Constituency 1 in Ekiti state House of Assembly said that the encounter was between him and some irate youths in the Ward who attacked him because they thought he was in charge of government contracts, employment and money as the " Leader of Government Business"
" It was an encounter between me and some youth in Ward 3 Ikole Local government area during my visit to the Ward to campaign for our Party's candidate Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO). They said they did not benefit any thing from me as someone in charge of government contracts, employment and all government businesses in the state. They accused me of not giving out contract, employment letters and money to the youth.
They even compared me with the State Commisioner for Finance and the National Assembly members saying that I have not giving out vehicles, okada, and sewing machines. I tried to explain to them that the title has nothing with giving out government contract or employment letters but they said it was not true.They said they are educated and they know the meaning of " Leader Government Business" and they started singing all kinds of songs".
Aribisogan said that he was well received in the other four Wards he had earlier visited and that no APC member molested or attacked him even though there were complaints of low party patronage.
Asked whether the attack was sponsored by the opposition elements in the Ward, the lawmaker said he did not rule out sabotage from some of his political detractors in the area who are envious of his achievements as an experienced lawmaker.
" We are in the election season. You cannot but see all these because this is the time that political detractors usually throw darts and jabs at their perceived enemies. I know that the latest media attack was sponsored by some aspirants who feel they can use this jejune video to score some political points. Unfortunately for them the race has just started. We'll meet on the field of play. The coming days shall be interesting.
