Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has taken the battle to the State House of Assembly after sealing off four filling stations in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, Tuesday, October 21, 2014, including T. Five Integrated Service Filling Station belonging to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dr. Adewale Omirin.
According to a statement in Ado Ekiti today (October 22, 2014) by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ayodele Fayose, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, the step was taken to prevent unimaginable fire accident.
However, the Speaker, an APC member, alleged that the Governor ordered the closure in order to intimidate and coerce him into decamping to the PDP.
Omirin claimed he fulfilled all necessary environmental laws in the location of the filling station and got necessary approval, wondering why the governor would start victimising those who do not share his political belief.
