Nigerians on social media have
reacted to the claim by the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose that
policemen slapped him.
The Governor had alleged that the
entrance to the Ekiti State Government House was blocked by the Nigeria Mobile
Policemen who were shooting guns sporadically in the area.
Fayose further alleged that the
armed policemen were sponsored by the APC-led Federal Government to prevent the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from wining the Saturday’s gubernatorial
election.
His words, “Heavy shooting now
going on in front of Ekiti Govt house by armed policemen brought by the APC.
“This is the entrance to Ekiti
Govt House now blocked by gun wielding mobile policemen. The plan is to prevent
our victory walk slated for today but we will remain undeterred. Power of God
and the people will prevail over Federal Power.”
Fayose was said to have been
rushed to a clinic in the state capital after he collapsed after inhaling
police teargas.
Here is how Nigerians reacted:
@thinkright9ja, “So sorry about
your loss, it’s sad that over 49 people died and there’s no form of sympathy
from the presidency, Ekiti state elections was more important to the
president.”
@DemolaRewaju, “I’m not onground
in Ado-Ekiti yet but I got this video from a 100% trusted source and it speaks
for itself: Security forces shooting live rounds and teargas to intimidate PDP
supporters. Towards the bottom left is the entry to the Govt House, by the
right is the Ojumose Bridge.”
@lawsbollnews, “No matter how
much you hate the PDP or Governor Fayose, if you have no atom of concern or
find humor in what just happened this afternoon, you should really have
yourself checked. This is beyond barbaric shame.”
@lawsbollnews “No amount of
intimidating we won’t stop. See the love people have for Fayose. We stand and
stay strong.”
@Angelgabbyshara “In 2014 When
PDP was in the helms of affairs in the federal government, when nothing was
threatening the peace of the state he was wearing Bullet proof everywhere In
2018, @GovAyoFayose wants to score cheap Goals,he didn’t wear bullet proof.”
@leespanyol, “They came with
guns, they’ve been their before the start of the rally but immediately
@GovAyoFayose came to start they started shooting sporadically and tear gassing
us, many have been injured already, is this democracy? This is dictatorship,
and it won’t work in Ekiti.”
@MrTomide, “Ongoing gunshots from
officers of the @PoliceNG and other security agents in Ado-Ekiti as they aim to
prevent PDP supporters from staging a Victory walk. Campaigns are not over
yet,why are security agents preventing a party activity?”
@TZekeri, “If APC wins. Fayose:
They rigged the election, they used thugs, police, DSS&Army to rig
election. If PDP wins. Fayose: we don show them pepe! By 2019, we are still
going to do it again! APC and Buhari must go!”
@CHYCHYCHUKWU, “Gov Fayose, a few
minutes ago escaped plot to assassinate him by Fayemi and APC. The gov is
currently receiving treatment at govt house clinic after he was hit by teargas
canister fired by the police Armed policemen are still laying siege at the Govt
House, Ekiti State.”
@ogundamisi, “@GovAyoFayose aka
Peter the Rock, Osokomole Irunmole ton je buredi Weeps, say’s ‘I am in Pain I
can’t take it anymore. Spotting a neck collar from inhaling tear gas.”
Fayose shud take it like that, he did the same during his time, tit - for- tat.
