Nigerians on social media have reacted to the claim by the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose that policemen slapped him.
The Governor had alleged that the entrance to the Ekiti State Government House was blocked by the Nigeria Mobile Policemen who were shooting guns sporadically in the area.
Fayose further alleged that the armed policemen were sponsored by the APC-led Federal Government to prevent the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from wining the Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
His words, “Heavy shooting now going on in front of Ekiti Govt house by armed policemen brought by the APC.
“This is the entrance to Ekiti Govt House now blocked by gun wielding mobile policemen. The plan is to prevent our victory walk slated for today but we will remain undeterred. Power of God and the people will prevail over Federal Power.”
Fayose was said to have been rushed to a clinic in the state capital after he collapsed after inhaling police teargass.
Here is how Nigerians reacted:
@thinkright9ja, “So sorry about your loss, it’s sad that over 49 people died and there’s no form of sympathy from the presidency, Ekiti state elections was more important to the president.”
