Tuesday night, in Ado Ekiti, as some suspected hired thugs, who had
been on his trail, shot his car.
According to a press statement by the Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation
(AFCO) and signed by the Campaign Director General, Mr Owoseni Ajayi,
Fayose, who was coming from Ado Ekiti to Afao Ekiti, his hometown at
around 9pm was trailed by a white colour Hilux with green plate number
to Fayose Housing Estate at Afao Ekiti road.
Fayose's driver was able to detect a vehicle trailing them and
immediately alerted the former governor.
The driver immediately increased the car's speed and when the
assailants, who were already hanging out of the Hilux vehicle saw that
they could not catch up with the speed of Fayose's car, shot four
times at the car.
However, seeing that Fayose had arrived Afao-Ekiti, the Hilux turned back.
Earlier in the day, Fayose had received a call from somebody, who
called himself Solar, telling
Fayose that he (Solar) was a life waster and that Fayose should expect
a tough time ahead 2014 election, but the former governor took the
message for granted.
The statement described Fayose as a leading PDP governorship aspirant
for the 2014 governorship poll.
The AFCO, therefore, said it was raising the alarm because of the
recent killing of Ayodele Jeje at Erijiyan Ekiti, over which the ACN
chairman, Chief Jide Awe, had been charged to court.
Owoseni Ajayi accused the ACN-led government of promoting violence in
the state to scare the opposition parties.
He, therefore, called on the police to take appropriate action before
the ACN turn the state into a war zone.
