Stop persecuting me -Omirin, Ekiti factional speaker, tellsFayose

Miffed by the persistent closure of his petrol station by the
Ekiti State Government, the factional Speaker of the State
House of Assembly, Mr. Adewale Omirin has called on
Governor Ayodele Fayose to stop persecuting him over his
political belief.
Making the plea in Ado Ekiti yesterday while reacting to the
closure of his petrol station located in Ajilosun Area of Ado
Ekiti, capital city, Omirin alleged that Fayose was not only
trying to cripple him politically, but economically, over the
factional crisis rocking the assembly.
Shortly after Fayose took over on October 16, 2014, the state
government had ordered the closure of all petrol stations that
had no approval or sited close to residential buildings,
Omirin’s petrol station was among the gas stations shut down
then.
Appealing to well-meaning Ekiti indigenes to advise Governor
Fayose to shelve political vendetta, Omirin, a top member of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), said it was rather
disturbing for the government to be hindering his little efforts
to contribute to the economic development of the state.
He said he made a payment of N1.5 million to government
coffers and got all necessary approvals from relevant
government agencies before building the petrol station, which
he said was geared towards combating unemployment in the
state.
Debunking the allegation, the Special Assistant on Information
to the Governor, Mr. Lanre Ogunsuyi, said sanitisation of the
petrol stations and businesses in Ekiti was a continuous
exercise that should not be politicised. He urged Omirin to
continue to speak to all relevant agencies, assuring that it
would be reopened immediately he meets all requirements.
