Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo state, has denied the
allegation that he sponsored the attack on Ayo Fayose, ex-governor of Ekiti, at
a rally by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state.
The governor warned Fayose to stop distracting him.
As Fayose walked towards the podium at the PDP campaign
ground in Ondo, on Wednesday, suspected hoodlums charged towards him and
removed his cap.
The former governor alleged that the attack was sponsored by Makinde and “a former deputy national chairman of the PDP”.
But in a statement, Taiwo Adisa, Makinde’s media aide, said
Fayose appears to be “perpetually desirous of hugging the limelight even when
the occasion doesn’t desire such grandstanding”.
“I believe that ex-governor Fayose and his handlers need to
look far away from Oyo state in search of their enemies,” he said.
“Governor Makinde has no link whatsoever with the incident
Fayose’s aide was talking about.
“We expect all
right-thinking members of the PDP to join the Governor of Oyo State in the
prosecution of the noble and democratic assignment he is executing on behalf of
the PDP in Ondo state at this time, instead of seeking to distract him one way
or the other.
“The governor will, however, not be distracted either on the
task at hand or on the well-intentioned desire to join other leaders to rebuild
the PDP in the south-west geopolitical zone.”
