Former secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Dr. Temitope Aluko, has denied reconciling with the state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Aluko, who shocked Nigerians with his revelation of how the Ekiti State governorship elections was rigged in 2014, said the parley between them was an organised propaganda to stain his image and malign his integrity.
However, Ekiti state government said has vowed to go ahead with its perjury charges against the former party scribe just as the All Progressives Congress, APC, says the purported truce will not alter anything on the revelations so far on the probe of the June 21, 2014 governorship election fraud.
Addressing newsmen, Tuesday in Lagos, Dr Aluko said the parley was a script aimed at misinforming Nigerians.
The former PDP scribe, who recanted his earlier stance, said “One fact remains clear, there is nowhere that I, Temitope Aluko, refuted anything I have earlier said before Nigerians and the whole world about the manipulations that characterised the 2014 Governorship election in Ekiti State.”
Expressing displeasure over the purported reconciliation meeting, he said “I was shocked to see Governor Fayose walked into the meeting at this point. I won’t want to bore you with the drama and face-off that ensue between me and governor Fayose inside the meeting.
“It is worthy of note that it was at this point that my wife badges into the meeting to inform me that she noticed the presence of pressmen downstairs and said ‘there is a problem’ but it was Fayose that interrupted her and said ‘madam, there is no problem.”
He added that “at that point, I became enraged and decided to leave the place but I notice Governor Fayose rushing after me downstairs in a gestapo manner.
“My wife was already fidgeting and almost crying and suddenly I could not find her around me. I immediately realised that I need to oblige to his (Governor Fayose) instruction of facing the press because of the safety of my family.”
He, however, appealed to Nigerians to disregard the peace treaty saying it was a tactical error on his part.
