Gov. Fayose Is Responsible For Assassination Attempt On Bamidele's Life - APC

said the way Fayose celebrated the incident that occurred at the flag off and homecoming of the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, at the weekend shows that he knows those behind the dastardly act.

“We have it on good authority that Fayose and the Chaplain of the Government House rejoiced on learning about the unfortunate incident of attempt on Fayemi’s life.

“The immediate comment by Fayose and his conduct by going on radio to warn people to avoid Ajilosun area while accusing Fayemi and the APC of the incident confirmed loud whispers in town that he knew about the attack.

“We are also aware of Fayose’s usual style of creating an alibi when he ordered okada and bus operators on the same day to converge on Fajuyi area of the state capital as Fayemi was being received by his party.

“By conducting himself in this manner, Fayose deliberately wanted to truncate the reception by causing a show-down with the APC crowds in Fajuyi end of the town and used that to carry out his planned coordinated attacks by his thugs he had already assembled in the area,” he said.

He noted that the APC and 15 other political parties had earlier informed the Police of impending plans by the State Governor to carry out assasination attempts on some of their members as the Governorship election draws closers.

“In that petition, we listed names of Fayose’s hit squad and also our party members already marked for elimination. The attempt on Dr. Fayemi’ life on Saturday is therefore a confirmation of the plot.

“This latest video is Fayose’s familiar style of accusing others of what he intends to do; which is called reversed psychology. Anytime Fayose wants to attack the opposition members, he will accuse them of planning to attack the people only to carry out the attack and later blame the opposition for it.

“We now have a strong suspicion that Fayose is behind the failed assassination bid on Dr Fayemi and will stop at nothing to eliminate him as he did to his opponents in the past.

“Fayose and PDP must tell the whole world what they knew about this failed assassination bid. The governor is supposed to be the chief security officer of the state who should be concerned about attack on the life of a prominent citizen but he has instead been making unguarded statements which make him a suspect.”
