THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West has berated the governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, over his last Saturday’s humiliation of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) worshippers in Erio-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

The PDP, in a statement issued by its zonal publicity secretary, Kayode Babade, said “by personally supervising the seizure of keys of over 100 vehicles belonging to the CAC worshippers and other Christian pilgrims, who attended the annual Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji-led Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola Power Explosion programme of the church at Ori Oke Aanu Prayer Ground in Erio-Ekiti, from Friday night till Saturday morning, Fayemi has, once again, demonstrated his contempt for God and His worshippers, especially those in the CAC.”

At about 7.30 a.m last Saturday, Governor Fayemi had accosted over 100 vehicles of worshippers, who were returning from the CAC annual programme and were parked along the road, waiting for the conclusion of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.

The governor was said to have been angered that the worshippers, many of whom came from outside Ekiti State, were not in their homes, carrying out sanitation exercise.

He subsequently ordered his security aides to seize all the vehicles’ keys, with those who argued with the security aides assaulted.

The governor later came back at about 10.30 a.m to release the seized keys to their owners and later went on air to justify his action.

Reacting to the incident, the PDP said it was the height of disrespect for God and Apostle Babalola to whom the Erio-Ekiti Mountain of Mercy was significant for anyone, not to talk of a sitting governor, to be part of such ridiculous act.
