The All Progressives Congress Candidate for Ekiti Central senatorial district, Amb. Gbenga Olofin, has described the clampdown on opposition by Governor Ayodele Fayose, as a threat to the 2015 general elections.

In a press release made available to journalists on Sunday in Ado Ekiti, Olofin said the desperation of Fayose to rig in all his imposed candidates during the elections would be resisted by the people.

Four cabinet members in the administration of former Governor Kayode Fayemi were arrested on Friday by the Governments assets recovery task force for allegedly withholding government official cars.

Those arrested were Biodun Akin-Fasae, Ayodele Jinadu, Oluwole Ariyo and Dr Bayo Orire.

The Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, however, invited them to a meeting on that day where he explained that the Police had no hand in their arrest.

I only intervened by calling them for a meeting and advised them on the issue because, if not well handled, it could heat up the polity. All I want is an amicable settlement, Lakanu had told our correspondent.

The APC had described their arrest and forceful confiscation of their official cars over non-payment of the cost as a ploy by Fayose to take its leaders out of circulation ahead of February 14 general elections.

Olofin said it was worrisome that the governor was supervising attacks on innocent Ekiti People because of politics, tearing and destruction of posters and billboards across the state in a day light.

Everybody is now sleeping with one eye closed in the state because of the fear of the unknown and the security across the state has been deteriorating because the action of the governor has heated up the polity.

Olofin urged traditional rulers and the appropriate authority to call the Governor to order.
