Bizarre reports reaching us from Akure and Ekiti indicate that the
Goodluck Jonathan-led federal government have authorized a policy of
denying leaders and governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the
right to land their planes in Akure or travel into Ekiti State.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in its desperation to win the
Ekiti governorship, seems to have abandoned all pretenses to democracy,
using every tool against the APC as Saturday’s gubernatorial contest in
Ekiti heats up.
Today, while Asiwaju Tinubu managed to land his plane in Akure
Airport, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of
Sokoto State and Governor Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State were denied the right to land.
For his part, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, who managed to
avoid airport security, was violently stopped from proceeding to Ekiti
by road by soldiers being used by the federal government to forcefully
prevent senior opposition personalities from entering Ekiti to show
solidarity to Governor John Kayode Fayemi.
