Adeleke’s men responsible for my hotel demolition – Ex-PDP chieftain, Adeniyi

A former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Akin Adeyi, shares his views with BOLA BAMIGBOLA on the demolition of his restaurant and office by the state government

There were some other structures on the land. They are the structures of the people that I allotted small portions to. The structures were built by those people. We have people who sell different things like building materials, food, drinks and more there. Unfortunately, all their structures were destroyed too.

I have been going through a lot since the time I wrote to the PDP Appeals Committee. It was my right as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and I think that was a civilised way of doing things; I did it out of passion for the party. All I said was that we shouldn’t do all the work and later end up in disgrace or lose all our efforts to the opposition party. My background as a former DSS officer comes into play in anything that I am doing.

Every hotel was filled up with thugs and Niger Delta boys. They made it seem like they were going for war. Later, information got to us and Akin Ogunbiyi had to leave the PDP. He does not want anyone’s blood to be shed. My name was the first on the list of those that they wanted to kill. The information got to me; it wasn’t that I didn’t know that the Accord Party wasn’t so strong to make it, but I had to go and look for a place to hide my head and that was why we moved to the Accord Party then.

But Governor Adeleke has ordered an investigation into the incident. He also denied involvement. How will you respond to this?
