Gov. Ayo Fayose has again raised
the alarm that police intimidation of himself, his family, and Ekiti workers
has continued unabated days after the Saturday, July 14th governorship
election.
According to a press statement by
his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the Governor said that the police
had kept a permanent surveillance over the Government House.
They continue to fly helicopters
over the Government House and Governor’s Office in a way that compromises the
safety and well-being of residents and workers.
Fayose said that the helicopter
flies so low that it runs the risk of crashing into high-rise buildings and
masts within the premises.
The Governor stated further that,
“the noise pollution this causes is enough irritation. This brazen show of
naked force and abuse of power is as ungodly as it is undemocratic
“If the security forces belong to
all Nigerians and not to President Muhammadu Buhari and APC, it should not be
biased in this blatant manner
“It is unprofessional of the
security forces to allow themselves be this debased, running APC errands when
they are funded with resources that belong to all of us.
“They are obligated by the
Constitution to be apolitical and not willing tools in the hands of the
powers-that-be
“Once again, I say I will not be
intimidated. I will stand on my feet until every injustice is upturned and the
freedom and liberties of our people are restored
“The thief runneth when no one
pursueth. They are afraid of their shadows”, he added.
They are performing their constitutional duties.
