The billboard located at Ayede
junction in the town was destroyed during the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
rally held on Tuesday.
Sources in the community alleged
that the billboard was destroyed by hoodlums led by a local government chairman
who stormed the place in a Toyota Hummer bus.
The action sparked tension in the
town as some APC members who wanted to launch a counter-attack were prevailed
upon by their leaders.
But the state APC Chairman, Chief
Olajide Awe, accused Governor Ayo Fayose of complicity saying ,“Fayemi’s
billboard was vandalized when he (Fayose) led the PDP rally to the town.”
Awe said: “Fayose destroyed it
with his thugs, we are taking action on it. I have told our members in Oye to
be vigilant. In a situation where the governor exhibits that, it is uncalled
for.
“It is abnormal, I have told our
party members to be calm, we are taking action including judicial action
against those who participated in the destruction of the billboard.
“Fayose was there at the rally at
Oye town and the rally was organized by the PDP and the chief security officer
of the state was there. What further evidence do you need?”
But the PDP Publicity Secretary,
Mr. Jackson Adebayo, accused the APC chair and members of his party of
attempting to blackmail Fayose.
Adebayo said: “We don’t habour
hoodlums in our party, it is APC that harbours hoodlums and you can see it from
their recent congresses.
“PDP is a party of peace, our
rally in Oye that day was peaceful and the governor and our members were not
responsible for the destruction of the billboard.
“APC should search its ranks for
those who destroyed the billboard if ever it was destroyed because I am hearing
it for the first time.
Governor Fayose knows nothing about
it and our members know nothing about it.”
