Crisis returns to Ekiti as gunmen disrupt Ekiti APC victory party

Fayose: Still beating drum of war ?

It is quite not understandable if the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose is still not relenting in beating the drum of war especially against the opposition party in the state, the All Progressives Congress, APC. 

In what looked like a renewed war against the opposition, crisis returned to the state on Wednesday as gunmen attacked the APC Secretariat and jubilant members of the party.

The APC members had just returned from the streets of Ado Ekiti where they had gone to celebrate the victory of the APC candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in the Saturday’s Presidential election.

The state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, who addressed journalists in Ado Ekiti after the attack, said the gunmen came in three Hilux vans with Government House number plates with three men in Police uniform sitting in the front.
