Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) does not want opposition and as such, is working towards the demise of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fayose said this in Port Harcourt on Wednesday during the national convention of the PDP.

The Governor said such development could be detrimental to the country and its citizens.

In a statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, he was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.

“I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others‎ because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.

‘”The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere.‎ All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition.‎ What business has APC with PDP internal matters?

“If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn’t they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?‎

They don’t have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be emboldened to challenge them,” he said.

He further appealed to PDP members from across the country who came to the convention not to feel discouraged, saying the truth would prevail in the long run.
