Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ekiti State chapter, yesterday called on security agents to call the 13 Action Congress (AC) lawmakers to answer charges of treasonable felony, over their invasion of the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES).
PDP also accused the Deputy Speaker, Honourable Saliu Adeoti, of invading the station with a pump action gun.Chairman of the party, Mr Bola Olu-Ojo, who addressed a press conference yesterday, said, "following an independent investigation, it was discovered that the objectives of the invasion was to overrun the station and declare a state of emergency on Ekiti State."
But in a swift reaction, the AC, in a statement issued by its Spokesman, Mr Yemi Adaramodu, urged the people to discountenance the allegation, which it said was borne-out of frustration of losing their bigwigs to the AC.Adaramodu said "for sometime now, Ekiti PDP had been in excruciating political pains, arising from their huge loss of membership, when the remaining sane PDP members left the PDP Tower of Babel for a safe ground in AC. "This had wiped out all sanity from the PDP, hence their resolve to employ all satanic forces to assist them take revenge," he said.
While explaining the visit of the AC legislators to the station, Adaramodu said "the lawmakers took positive and peaceful steps to save the state from its rapid slide into abyss, having discovered that the PDP cannot be salvaged from executive hanky panky and legislative perfidy, arising from a candle light sitting of seven PDP members, supervised by their legislative Robin Hood, Femi Bamisile."
