The All Progressives Congress has petitioned the National Human
Rights Commission over alleged attacks on its members and supporters in
Ekiti State by Governor Ayo Fayose and his loyalists.
The Executive Secretary of the commission, Prof. Bem Angwe, while
receiving a copy of the petition in Abuja on Friday, expressed shock
over the weighty allegations against the governor.
He assured them that the allegations against the governor would be “thoroughly investigated”.
The party alleged that with the current wave of attacks on its
members in the state, violence free elections could not be guaranteed in
the forthcoming polls if the trend was not checked.
The petitioner accused Fayose using thugs to cause political violence
in the state. It added that the thugs physically attacked and
intimidated opposition personalities in the stated.
The APC alleged that Fayose’s activities were undermining the peace
pact recently signed by all presidential candidates in the forthcoming
polls, including those of the Peoples Democratic Party, President
Goodluck Jonathan and the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari.
