APC disturbing our peace, says PDP Secretary

The Ekiti State Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Tope Aluko, has described the impeachment crisis as a contrived plan by the APC to throw the state into chaos after losing the governorship seat.

Aluko, who spoke yesterday on “Daybreak Nigeria”, a breakfast television programme on Ekiti State Television, accused APC of desperation and an attempt to gain power through the backdoor.

He said the impeachment plot against Fayose was not in the interest of the people, warning the opposition to toe the line of peace and face the reality of the day.

Aluko said: “The position of the APC is that ‘we must govern’; that is the problem we are having with the opposition. What they don’t understand is that this is not the mandate of Fayose, it is the mandate of the people.

“If anybody in APC is relying on the power at the centre to crush a mandate given to us here, that will not work.

“It is not because they won the presidency, it is because fomenting trouble is inherent in them and what we are asking from them is that they should have the interest of the people at heart.

“They will soon come to power at the centre; we are in power in Ekiti. They should allow peace to reign.”
