Following the allegation leveled against them by the Speaker of Ekiti state
House of Assembly Rt.Hon Kola Oluwawole that they forged a letter
requesting for Police deployment in the premises of the state House of
assembly, All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers have denied complicity in the matter.
In a swift reaction, Minority Leader, Gboyega Aribisogan, in a chat with our correspondent in Ado Ekiti on Thursday said the allegation by Speaker was untrue, baseless and unfounded as nobody laid siege to the Assembly complex.
Aribisogan also threatened to file a court action against Oluwawole for
accusing him (Aribisogan) of forging a letter purportedly written to the
police to demand deployment of riot policemen.
He said the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) legislators are gripped with
the fear of the unknown and afraid of their shadows which he said was the
basis of “wild and unsubstantiated allegations.” Aribisogan said:
“The allegations are untrue, baseless and unfounded and there was no
reason for me to deploy police. The allegation of writing a forged letter to the Police is false and for them to accuse me wrongly of forging a letter,
Aribisogan disclosed that "I am considering a legal action against the Speaker because it was a wrong and false accusation which I want him to prove in court.
“They are afraid of their shadows, APC will not join PDP in their
impunity and we will never resort to illegality. Ekiti people have
voted APC to power and we will not use any illegality.
“Fear of the unknown will continue to haunt Fayose and his henchmen. For them to go ahead to tell civil servants working in the Assembly
not to come again is illegal.
The minority leader also tackled the speaker over the stay at home order given to the assembly workers, saying“They lack the power to tell workers to go on illegal holiday even
denying them the right to process their salaries. They don’t have the
right to send Assembly workers on holiday.
He however denied police seige at the premises on Thursday saying“There was no police siege today and no policeman was sighted in the
Assembly complex so the allegation is a figment of their I magi nation.”
