Adefisoye, Akingbaso

Festus Akingbaso denies involvement in attack on Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye

It has come to the attention of the Candidate for Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), Hon. Festus Akingbaso popularly known as “FessyWest”, of the allegations which links him to the attack on Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye.

Our campaign drive is fully and totally built on credibility and good morals which we believe are the bane of any democratic institution, hence we frown at violence of all sort especially during this period when our democracy is at stake.

Rumors linking our campaign team to the aforementioned incident is unfounded and based on misinformation and deceit.

We categorically assert that we have no involvement in this incident and the mention of our campaign team in this unfortunate incident is nothing but a deliberate attempt to smear our good name in the mud, one which we shall continue to protect at all cost.

This latest development is another obvious attempt by the accusers to evade the scrutiny of the police and DSS, who are currently investigating him and his team for violence which occured few days ago in which many members of the PDP were attacked and injured.

We hereby urged the operatives of the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies to launch a formal investigation into the matter and find out the perpetrators of this unfortunate incident.

Signed
FessyWest Campaign Team
