Disruption of Bamidele’s rally, a police affair –Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has said the state government
was not responsible for disruption of the political rally by a member
of the House of Representatives, Opeyemi Bamidele, in Ado Ekiti on
Thursday.
Fayemi said, instead, the disruption of the rally, which the lawmaker
convened to declare his ambition to contest the state 2014
governorship election, was a police affair.
The governor said this in a statement made available to journalists in
Ado-Ekiti on Monday.
It said the lawmaker had "an inalienable right" to vie for any
political position, saying the Fayemi-led administration had no hands
in the disruption of Bamidele's governorship campaign rally.
It stated that the foiled rally was "strictly a police affair" and
advised that such aspiration should be pursued within the limits of
the laws guiding the electoral process.
The statement said no fewer than 10 other governorship aspirants of
the Peoples Democratic Party in the state had earlier declared
interest in the race without any interference from the APC-led
government.
