Some youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, under
the aegis of Ekiti APC Youths Congress (EAYC) have condemned leaders
of the party in the State for keeping silent over the attack on
Oke-Ako, Ikole Local Government Area of the State by Fulani herdsmen
that left two people dead and several others injured.

In a press statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday and jointly signed
by Mr Tope Ogunkuade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye, Convener and Secretary
respectively, the EAYC said it was painful that APC as party was yet
to speak out to condemn killing of fellow indigenes of Ekiti State.

The youths said support for President Mohammadu Buhari should not
becloud the party’s sense of reasoning and patriotism towards Ekiti
and its people.

They commended the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose for taking a bold
and decisive step towards curbing the menace of the Fulani herdsmen.

The youths said; “We wonder how leaders of party think. How can they
keep silent when their fellow Ekiti indigenes are being killed by
Fulani herdsmen just because they don’t want to offend President
Buhari?

“Can APC leaders in the north keep silent if Yorubas were the ones
killing their people?

“We seem not to understand why our party have not seized this
opportunity to show that we are still on the side of Ekiti people. If
Ekiti indigenes were killed by Fulani herdsmen and our party did not
say anything just because President Buhari is a Fulani man, it remains
to be seen how Ekiti people can trust our party.

“We are therefore challenging our party leaders, especially the
Spokesperson, Taiwo Olatunbosun to also condemn this killing of our
people by Fulani herdsmen because being the opposition party in the
State should just be about criticising Governor Fayose alone. Our
party too must stand with the people.”
