19 All Progressives Congress, APC lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of Assembly are still afraid of Governor Ayo Fayose despite Muhammadu Buhari's success at the polls.

According to SAHARA REPORTERS, embattled Ekiti speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, said the lawmakers were afraid of been attacked by Governor Fayose.

A statement issued on behalf of the lawmakers read, ''Our fear is not without foundation following similar experience we had when gunmen in black jeeps were visiting our homes at nights to attack us. Shortly before that, our party petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, and National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, calling their attention to special request by Governor Fayose to the Police authorities to post back to Ekiti some of the policemen the governor used to attack his opponents between 2003 and 2006.

''Unfortunately, our petition was not treated‎. As a result, gunmen in unmarked black jeeps started visiting the homes of APC lawmakers at nights issuing threats to APC leaders and Assembly members. We can no longer take our security lightly as the governor has been boasting around that he would do anything to win all the 16 seats in the House of Assembly in the coming election''.
