I have just read message sent to SSS by you to the effect that you
heard that Governor Ayodele Fayose and his people are celebrating and
that you and your people would be arrested even before getting to me
tomorrow for the peace meeting. Consequently, you advised your people to
cancel the meeting.
Incidentally,
the text message came when I was holding a meeting with the
Commissioner of Police who had come all the way from Abuja to ensure
that the peace meeting runs successfully.
The Commissioner of
Police and the SSS assured you in clear and unambigous term that such
allegation is not only untrue but totally unfounded.
They even assured that they have put in place over 200 police men to accompany you and your men to and fro Ado Ekiti.
They also assured you that the power of arrest rests solely with the police and that they undertake not to arrest you.
I have also undertaken to accompany the police to see you off the state after the meeting.
I
still hope that you would have a rethink and come for the peace meeting
to which I have invited eminent Ekiti citizens from far and wide.
