The All Progressives Congress (APC) Ekiti State has said that it wasvery much aware of the antics of Michael Opeyemi Bamidele a.k.a MOB, to unleash violence in the state and weaken the security apparatus.
It said the reported arrest, on Friday of two roughnecks believed to be working for him has further vindicated the party?s position that Bamidele should be held responsible for the introduction of violence to the politics of the state.
Director of Publicity and Media of the Party, Segun Dipe stated that Bamidele?s antics of masterminding crisis, maiming and killing APC faithful and people of the state was being
checkmated through government?s provision of security as well as the alertness of the security agencies to their duties.
He said: ?The reported arrest of two political roughnecks working for MOB, Mr. Oyediran Afolabi and Mr. Oluwafemi Sunday who allegedly forced their way into the home of Mr. Deji
Adesokan one of the aides of Governor Kayode Fayemi, with the intention of assassinating him as assigned, did not come as a surprise to us.
?The two men, who came from Akure and are now in the police net reportedly had in their call logs three calls made to Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele that evening, plus the ones made to one ?Bullet,? one ?Idajo? and one ?Butcher.? They are also said to possess the phone number of
the governor of a neighbouring state.
?We saw this coming. We had sensitized and will continue to sensitise our party faithful and the good people of Ekiti to be watchful and alert to the fact that they have a son who now exhibits the traits of William Shakespeare?s Macbeth and is ready to apply the strategies of Macbeth (killing and maiming) to get to the top of his political career. He keeps importing thugs from neighbouring states into Ekiti to unleash mayhem on the same people he aspires to govern.?
