The ancestral home of the immediate past Governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose in Afao-Ekiti, has been raided by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This was confirmed in a statement issued on Friday evening by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) .
PDP said, nothing can break the will of Nigerians to vote out the All Progessives Congress (APC) government of President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday.
State Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo said, “armed operatives of the EFCC stormed Fayose’s residence a few minutes ago to conduct a search, claiming that he was in possession of fund meant for the PDP in the Southwest, since he is the Coordinator of the Atiku/Obi Presidential Campaign Council in the zone.”
“They subjected he former governor and his guests to that level of harassment and oppression just because of tomorrow’s elections was the height of desperation by the APC government”, it said.
The party commended the youths in Afao-Ekiti for trouping out enmasse in solidarity with the former governor, adding that the peaceful conduct of youths even when provoked by the EFCC operatives was commendable.
The party called on all well meaning Nigerians as well as the international community to prevail on the APC to stop using instruments of government to harass, intimidate and oppress Nigerians perceived as not being on the same page with its clueless government.
