Ojudu denies plot to stop fayose innaguration. Senator Babafemi Ojudu The senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Babafemi Ojudu, on Wednesday described as untrue allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State that the All Progressives Congress was planning to frustrate the inauguration of the governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose. Fayose, who won the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti, is scheduled to be sworn-in on October 16. Ojudu, who spoke with our correspondent in Abuja, said, “It is not true that the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State is plotting to frustrate the inauguration of Fayose on October 16. “What APC had done is to go to the tribunal to challenge the election of Fayose and the court was about to sit when Fayose invaded the court with his thugs and disrupted it.” The senator explained that the invasion of the court by Fayose’s men informed the relocation of the tribunal outside the state. He said, “The e-11 had gone to court since May 23 to challenge the qualification of Fayose to contest the election. But there was a strike, and the court later went on vacation; and the suit suffered some setbacks, so they are just hearing it now. “Why is the PDP in Ekiti blaming its misfortune on other people? It is taken that when anybody is aggrieved, the place to resolve it is the court and not through self help. The e-11 went to court, and the APC went to court. “It is the Fayose’s group that went to court to beat up judges and disrupt court proceedings. Why are they now claiming to be the victim?”
