PRESS STATEMENT
ATTACK ON THE OFFICIAL VEHICLE BELONGING TO HONOURABLE CHRIS AYEBUSIWA BY HOODLUMS
The official vehicle belonging to the honorable member of Ondo State House of Assembly who represents Okitipupa Constituency I, Hon Chris Ayebusiwa, has been attacked by weapon-wielding hoodlums.
The incident which left the vehicle visibly damaged happened around 4. pm on Saturday, along Oba-Adesida road, Oja-Oba axis, Akure, Ondo State Capital.
The black GAC official car of the legislator was assailed by the touts. Three of his staff aboard, including the driver and civil defense officer, were assaulted by the thugs who attacked with a pro-Aiyedatiwa branded Sienna bus and clad in Aiyedatiwa’s campaign face caps.
The attack, which is believed to be politically motivated and aimed at the person of the renowned legislator, has since been reported officially to the appropriate law enforcement agencies in the state.

AIYEDATIWA’S AIDE REACTS
Reacting, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, the Chief Press Secretary to the Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, described the allegation as politics taken to far.
“Dear honourable, this is politics taken too far. How many so called “youths” in Akure even recognise your face or your vehicle to deliberately attack it for political purpose?
“The true report is that you moved with a convoy and ran into a group of youths who were protesting against an alleged attack by some soldiers in the area and your insistence on passing through the protest led to the unfortunate attack on your vehicle.
“Nobody in that protest or group of youths wore any insignia of Aiyedatiwa as erroneously claimed by you.
“I do hope the report you gave to the police was with evidence to back up this false narrative,” Adeniyan said.
