Ondo: Fayose stage-manage his own attack – Makinde’s spokesman

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, has said that his boss does not intend to join issues with the former governor of Ekiti, Mr Ayodele Fayose, whom he said appears perpetually desirous of hugging the limelight even when the occasion doesn’t desire such grandstanding.

Adisa, earlier on Thursday, while speaking with NewsBreakNG, reacted to the allegation leveled against his Boss on how some hoodlums removed the cap of Fayose when he was making his way to the podium at the party’s campaign ground on Wednesday.

He said that Governor Makinde has no link whatsoever with the incident Fayose’s aide was talking about on what happened at the party’s campaign rally for the Ondo State governorship election coming up on Saturday

Adisa equally maintained that the governor’s desire to join other leaders to rebuild the PDP in the South-West geopolitical zone remains sacrosanct and will, however, not be distracted, either on the task at hand or on the well-intentioned desire.

He, however, warned the ex-governor and his handlers to look far away from Oyo state in search of their enemies.

He said: “I believe that ex-governor Fayose and his handlers need to look far away from Oyo state in search of their enemies.

“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 southwest geopolitical zone.”

Recall that the immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose accused the Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde and former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George of masterminding the assault on him at the party’s campaign rally for the Ondo State governorship election in Ondo town on Wednesday.

At the event, Fayose claimed he was making his way to the podium at the campaign ground when a hoodlum, ostensibly acting on instruction, moved towards him and removed his cap.
