Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele and Governor Kayode Fayemi Coalition of Oodua Self-determination Groups has warned Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, and a House of Representatives member, Mr. Bamidele Opeyemi, not to play politics with lives of the people ahead of the 2014 governorship election in the state. The group gave the warning in a statement by its Chairman, Dayo Ogunlana, and Secretary, Razaq Olokoba, on Monday The warning came on the heels of the recent reports of disruption of political meetings, maiming and killings, trailed by accusations and counter-accusations by the governor and the lawmaker. It urged the duo to seek amicable ways of resolving their differences since they were of the same political party – All Progressive Congress. It recalled that in 1983 a crisis between Adekunle Ajasin and Akin Omoboriowo led to killing, maiming and wanton destruction of property of which some families, communities and associates were today yet to recover from. The statement read in part, “The two combatants should guide against any act that can cause irreparable damage to the polity and socio-economic life of the people of the state in particular and Yoruba nation in general. “Any major crisis in Ekiti would definitely not augur well for the rest of Yoruba land.”
