One of the men who was reportedly in the Ado-Ekiti meeting where an army general was ordered to do the whims of the PDP in thr Ekiti governorship elections last year, has admitted that such a meeting indeed took place but the context of the discussion was totally different from what was being circulated.
Minister of police affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, said on Saturday in an interview that there was a conversation but it was at a scene in Ado-Ekiti, when Fayose and the General engaged in an quarrel which almost resulted in a fight.
Adesiyan explained that the General was accused of being bribed by Governor Kayode Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress, which led to a heated argument between the general and Fayose.
Adesiyan said, “Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.
“Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC, that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job.
“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.”
