Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has denied having any hand in the disruption of a political rally where a member of the House of Representatives, Opeyemi Bamidele, was billed to declare his governorship ambition last Thursday.
The governor said nobody was stopping Bamidele from declaring his interest in the 2014 governorship election in the state.
He said in a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Monday that the lawmaker had an inalienable right to vie for any political position, saying that his administration had no hand in the disruption of Bamidele’s governorship campaign rally.
He said the foiled rally was “strictly a police affair” and advised that aspirations should be pursued within the limits of the laws guiding the electoral process.
The statement said, “The police, as a law enforcement agency, has the responsibility to determine actions and situations that can cause the breach of the peace in the society and take appropriate actions to safeguard against such.
“A lot of misrepresentations have been peddled in the media about the event of last Thursday. It is important to state clearly that the state governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has no interest in stopping Opeyemi Bamidele or anybody from declaring interest in the governorship race in the state.”
