Few Hours to Ekiti Guber Poll, Influential SDP Chieftain Raises Serious Alarm

With less than 24 hours to the Ekiti governorship election, a chieftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state, Olukayode Oso has cried out over the alleged threat to his life. Oso also raised alarm over the plot to arrest him alongside other leaders of the party ahead of Saturday, June 18, governorship election in Ekiti state.

In a letter titled, “Plot To Frame Me And Possible Arrest” which was personally signed by the SDP chieftain and addressed to the Ekiti state commissioner of police, Oso alleged that his life had been under threat.

According to him, his life came under threat since the deadly attack on the campaign team of the gubernatorial candidate of the party in Itaji Oye local government of the state by suspected political thugs.

A close associate of Segun Oni, the SDP governorship candidate in the Ekiti election, Oso explained that he is among the party leaders allegedly pencilled down for arrest before the guber poll in the state.

In the letter, Oso accused the Ekiti state government and the former governor of the state of working together to possibly frame him up and link him with the attack that took place in Itaji on Saturday, June 11.
