Fayose’s ‘police beat me’ claim, comedy of the year –APC


The Ekiti State chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Jide Awe, has said what transpired between the governor and the Police during a campaign rally of the People’s Democratic Party could be described as the “comedy of the year.”

Governor Ayo Fayose, on Wednesday, said he was brutalised by policemen who allegedly stormed the main entrance to the Ekiti State Government House to stop a rally by the Peoples Democratic Party.

Residents said gunshots were fired at the main entrance to the Government House, while tear gas canisters were reportedly shot to disperse the crowd at the rally.


 However, Awe said, “It is entirely a security matter. The governor is the Chief Security Officer and should know how to conduct himself properly in the public.

“Probably it was part of the instruction given to the Police as the chief security officer that led to the situation.”

A tweeter user who goes by the name, Red Harpoon, @redhapoon, who also thinks the actions of the governor were overly dramatised, described the incident as an ongoing ‘Nollywood audition.’

He tweeted:



Adebayo Bankole Akintunde

 I can even forgive those who believe Fayose's tear gas story.

However, if you believe that Police slapped Fayose, a sitting Governor, and shot at him, then you are dumber than your smartphone.

 Fayose said Police fired teargass at the crowd of the PDP, unfortunately, only Fayose was hit. Lol.

 Sooo...
-tear gas hit ONLY Fayose leaving evryone else intact.
-his security detail watched as he was "attacked & pulled to the ground" [a whole sitting governor]
-No melee ensued, meaning they were all complicit?
-Lol, this gutter politics again. Appalling attempt.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
