Barely 24 hours after a video surfaced online of him addressing the
press that all was well between himself and Fayose, the former Secretary
of PDP in Ekiti state, Tope Aluko, says the meeting was stage managed
and that he had to address the press to pretend that all was well for
the safety of his wife. Aluko addressed a press conference in Lagos
today April 5th
“I need not recall the drama and face off that ensued between me and
Fayose inside the meeting. It is worthy of note that it was at this
point that my wife badged into the meeting to inform me of the presence
of pressmen. At that point I became enraged and decided to leave the
place but I noticed Governor Fayose rushing after me downstairs in a
gestapo manner.
My wife was already fidgeting and almost crying and
suddenly I could not find her around me. I immediately realized that I
need to oblige Governor Fayose’s instruction of the facing the press
because of the safety of my family. I have earlier said before
Nigerians and the whole world about the manipulation that characterized
the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State and still stand by all I
said. You will also notice the several counter allegations by Fayose and
his media team that none of them has refuted all I have said, rather
the attack has been on the messenger and not the message. I will like to
apologise to all Nigerians that perhaps, accepting the invitation was a
tactical error. I will also like you to know that I am dealing with a
master fraudster who is always full of mischief. You will allrecollect
how he announced the purported death of Hon. AfolabiAkanni; the
purported arrest of four members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly
that later resurfaced. I need to emphasize that all that transpired at
Eko Hotel on that faithful day was an organized propaganda/drama to
stain my image and malign my personal integrity and I believe it would
be a good script for Nollywood act” he said
