Former Peoples Democratic Party Secretary in Ekiti state, Tope Aluko, says his life is in danger.

Aluko had on Sunday, exposed the process that preceded the rigging of the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State by incumbent governor, Ayo Fayose.

The PDP chieftain had also alleged that former President, Goodluck Jonathan gave Fayose $37 million to prosecute the election and directed that the military should facilitate victory for the then PDP candidate.

While Fayose has described Aluko as bitter over his refusal to appoint him Chief of Staff, the latter says his life is under threat.

Aluko said he escaped from the hands of ‘fake security men’, who attempted to have him arrested on Sunday night.

 

“After the live television interview on Politics Today on Channels Television on Sunday at about 9.30 pm, my attention was drawn to the presence of some operatives supposedly from the office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), seeking to effect my arrest.”

“However, having passed though the same route before, my instinct immediately told me that something was amiss. I made some calls and found out that there was no such order to effect my arrest by the office of the IGP or from any other security agency for that matter.”

“I was later made to understand that the ‘fake’ security agents were actually miscreants posing as security men and acting on the orders of Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose to get rid of me at all cost. I must let Nigerians know that I have made a resolution to let the whole world know what transpired during the Ekiti 2014 governorship poll.”
