What can be regarded as back-to-back jibes between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti state was recently witnessed.
In a report on Daily Post, the PDP has cautioned the APC to stop its “perpetual lies”against the Governor Ayo Fayose or face the anger of the masses.
According to the PDP, the APC in the state have being applying the use of destructive propaganda in an attempt to discredit the good work of the governor.
This was contained in a statement on Tuesday, August 18, issued by Jackson Adebayo, the PDP publicity secretary.
According to Adebayo, the alleged N8.5bn received by the Ekiti state government as the allocation for June instead of N6.8bn was a deliberate distortion of fact.
He said: “In as much as we are not opposed to the contribution of the opposition on any issues of state importance as a political party, we should be mindful of the fact that people out there are watching us and could judge us based on the assessment at their disposal which could have great influence on their reactions to any party.
“Although we are happy that the APC is misbehaving to the people of the state, we believe we can still help them to minimise their calamity by rendering such warnings at a time like this.”
Reacting swiftly, the APC said the, “ceaseless attacks and insults” on President Muhammadu Buhari by Governor Fayose is “a devious bad-mouthing and reckless diversionary tactics” meant to take public attention from his many alleged constitutional breaches.
According to the APC, such antics would not save the governor from facing justice over his many violations on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the crisis rocking the PDP in Ekiti state has worsened as the faction loyal to Governor Ayo Fayose has suspended four members of the State Working Committee (SWC).
