In a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Jackson Adebayo, the PDP alleged that the plot was hatched at a meeting held in Lagos on Monday.
Adebayo stated that the meeting mandated one of the Special Advisers to President Muhammadu Buhari to coordinate the spate of violence that would be unleashed on the state as from January on an intermittent basis.
“We want to alert the people of Ekiti State that the APC leaders have appointed one of the Special Advisers to President Muhammadu Buhari to coordinate the crisis which the party has planned for Ekiti State in their preparation to draw the sympathy of the people of the state, all in the name of politics.
“We want to say categorically that the APC leaders are planning serious violence in Ekiti this year with the revelation from their Lagos meeting, but this will be vehemently resisted by the people of the state, who gave their mandate to the present PDP government in the state.”
The PDP said it would not fold its arms while some disgruntled political misfits inflict terror on the state, as the government was struggling to cater for the citizens in the face of economic hardship.
The party called on the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, and other security agencies to look into the allegations and beam their searchlight on the leadership of the APC to foil the plot.
