The Special Assistant to Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, has described the embattled former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tope Aluko, as the present-day Judas of Ekiti State, saying; “The man is a Grade A scammer who is living large on the millions he is making from his present anti-Fayose agenda.”
Olayinka, who spoke on behalf of Fayose on Tuesday, insisted that Aluko has turned himself into tools in the hands of the All Progressives Congress.
He added: “Aluko and his likes can continue to run from pillar to post, all their efforts will come to nought and like the Biblical Judas, we will all live to see how those he treating him like their man Friday now will dump him.”
The governor’s spokesperson said it was laughable that someone who was duly expelled from the PDP was still claiming to be member of the party, adding: “Can Aluko be member of PDP by force even when PDP has said he is not wanted?
“In saner climes, Aluko, who by himself confessed to have committed crime should be in jail by now. But because the APC federal government is willing to use even Shina Rambo to achieve its aim of returning to power in Ekiti through crude means, Aluko is being provided with security cover and that is unfortunate.”
While describing Aluko’s claims as “odoriferous talks from a demented mind”, Olayinka said Nigerians must ask him why he was unable to deliver his polling unit in Iyin-Ekiti to the PDP if indeed he was the arrowhead of the rigging of the election.
He said: “In TKO Aluko’s Polling Unit (Bada Polling Unit, Ward B Iyin Ekiti), PDP had 77, APC had 66 and Labour Party had 115 votes. Why was he unable to rig the election in his poling unit?
“Like I said today, Aluko travelled to Kaduna to give evidence before the Military Panel, has that removed Governor Ayodele Fayose from office?
“He went to the Department of State Services (DSS) to lie against almost everybody in Ekiti, hoping that by now, DSS would have coerced the House of Assembly to impeach Governor Fayose, those arrested and detained have been released.
“Aluko has now gone to the police to lie that notable functionaries of the State government and PDP leaders stockpiled arms during the June 21, 2014 governorship election and one cannot but ask how arms could have been stockpiled and no single soul was lost during the election and there was no violence.
“Finally, Aluko can continue with his journey of political perfidy. He can keep running while enjoying the proceeds of his political 419. But like the Biblical Judas, he can only run, he will be caught by his deeds one day.”
