The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti on Thursday alleged that members of a faction of Oodua Peoples Congress in Army and Police uniforms carried out the attack on its secretariaton Wednesday night.

The party also said the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), had yet to reply its petition on the ongoing violence in the state where its members had been repeatedly attacked.

In a press statement made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, who warned that the party might resort to self-help, accused the police of being compromised by not acting on its complaints.

All these premeditated attacks were reported to the police, but from our observation, the police have either been compromised or are helpless in the face of executive lawlessness, he said.

Olatunbosun recalled that APC had raised the alarm over plan by Governor Ayodele Fayose to start arresting its party leaders ahead of the Saturday presidential rally of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to put fear in the minds of their supporters.

This was after he said publicly that he didnt want to see APC posters anywhere across the state. He also said he wanted to win all the elections at all costs whether people vote for PDP or not.

Just last night, OPC members in DSS, Army and Police uniforms and backed by official policemen who are currently being housed in the Adesua Lodge of the Government House were at our party secretariat to attack the place.

Shortly before their arrival, the streetlights along Ajilosun Street where the secretariat is located were switched off. They started shooting and destroying anything in sight. They had earlier visited several parts of the state shooting and destroying the posters of our candidates.

The APC spokesman said the OPC members dressed in Army and Police uniforms planned to invade the partys rally on Saturday byshooting sporadically to cause stampede and in the chaos that will ensue, General Buhari will be shot.

We want to make it clear that presidential election is governed by federal laws that allows both Jonathan and Buhari to paste their posters without attacking members on either side.
