Did the embattled whistleblower on the last Ekiti State governorship election, Dr. Tope Aluko and Governor Ayo Fayose really reconcile on Sunday in Lagos?

Contrary to what the world was made to believe, the “raging feud” between the duo is far from being over.

Aluko, who described the reconciliation between him and Fayose as a “joke of the Century”, insisted that he never begged for forgiveness from the governor as being peddled in some quarters.

He accused Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka of “hypocrisy, distortion of facts and spreading lies” on the “reconciliation process”.

At a briefing in Lagos, Aluko said he was under duress to admit to a reconciliation, which was aimed at tarnishing his integrity.

He said he went to Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos on Sunday to honour an invitation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership to address some issues affecting the state.

Aluko said he went to the meeting with his wife, adding that he was shocked to see the governor walk into the meeting. He noted that he accepted to be at the meeting because he was invited by two senior members of the party.

His words: “I need not recall the drama and face-off that ensued between Fayose and I at the meeting. At a point, my wife barged into the meeting to inform me of the presence of reporters.

“I became enraged and decided to leave the place but I noticed the governor rushing after me downstairs in a Gestapo manner.

“My wife was fidgeting and almost crying and suddenly I could not find her around me. I realised that I need to obey Fayose’s instruction to face the press because of my family’s safety.”

The former PDP scribe said he still stand by his words. “I have earlier told Nigerians about the manipulation of the 2014 governorship election and I still stand by all I said.
