There was tension in Ilawe-Ekiti on Tuesday following the announcement that former state Governor Ayo Fayose was scheduled to hold a meeting with some members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the town at 2pm.

Tight security was mounted by policemen and officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

About 12 police vans, loaded with armed policemen were seen at the main entry point to the town. Some policemen were strategically positioned on one side of the road while some youths took control at the other side.

Sources close to Fayose told journalists, who were present in the town, that the former governor was still considering whether to attend the meeting or not as at 4pm.

The source said Fayose had sought the protection of the operatives of State Security Service when he learnt that some youths had laid ambush for him along the road leading to the town.

However, an aide to the former governor told the journalists, “Oga has gone back to Afao (his home town) because of the threats to his life.”

Around 4.30pm, some miscreants made bonfires on the road.

The Director-General of Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation, Mr. Gboyega Oguntuase, told our correspondent on the telephone that Fayose was in Ilawe for the meeting.

He, however, did not say who the former governor met with or where he held the meeting.

Oguntuase restated the accusation he leveled against the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria.

He said the party was behind the threats to the lives of Fayose and other PDP members.

He said the Federal Government might be forced to declare emergency rule in the state if the crisis degenerated into complete breakdown of law and order.

ACN’s spokesperson in the state, Chief Tai Oguntayo, denied AFCO’s allegation. He said, “Fayose is just afraid of his shadow.”

Oguntayo said ACN was a party known for its respect for rule of law and that members of the party were not Miscreants and did not believe in violence.

because of the bad network you might not be able to Google who false is, but you can ask ur sister or any of ur family that is politicaly inclined.

I knew this coming if this story is true then the begining of a new action packed film in Ekiti. Fayose from the look of things is the next governor of ekiti come 2014; duo fayemi is working but he has lost the confidence pple imposed on him. From the teacher saga to NULGE saga ; civil servant saga.



fayose has starting his campaign indirectly hence ACN planing to stop him because they know he is a real torn in their flesh.

Fasoye should go and seek support of obj first or else...

u no go school? Chei

Whateva u might think of fayose will neva change d mind of ekiti people. Even though i live in lagos, i visit home regularly and i know dat he is still popular among d people. During his regime, i was in omuo ekiti for a burial ceremony, and was surprised to see gov fayose come to our stand to shake hands with us. He constructed a lot of township roads and supplied lots of transformers to rural communites. What a peoples governor. So he is not a timid or a coward, but he has to listen to d security advice of his aides. If he had not and something happened, u pple would be d ones to first blame him for his stupidity. I beg joo carry on ........ Our people still need ur courageos and pragmatic leadership. Nothing seems to have happened in many of these communities since he left the government. I know u will surely be a better governor next time having learnt useful lessons all di long.

Location of Ekiti State in Nigeria - Coordinates: 7°40′N 5°15′E. Altitude: 458 Region: Ekiti State, South-West, Nigeria. Population : 2,737,186

It may interest you to know that the State has produced and we are still producing erudite scholars for the country and Africa.
Ekiti State is a state in southwest Nigeria, declared a state on October 1, 1996 alongside five others by the military under the dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. The state, carved out of the territory of old Ondo State, covers the former twelve local government areas that made up the Ekiti Zone of old Ondo State. On creation, it took off with sixteen (16) Local Government Areas (LGAs), having had an additional four carved out of the old ones. Ekiti State is one of the thirty-six states (Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria)) that constitute Nigeria. Ekiti State is reputed to have produced the highest number of professors in Nigeria. Several pioneers academics are from the state. Pioneers like Profs Adegoke Olubummo(1st Nigeria Professor in the field of Mathematics), Adeyinka Adeyemi(1st Professor of Architecture in West Africa). Others include renowned academics like Profs J.F. Ade-Ajayi, Niyi Osundare, Sam Aluko, Bolaji Aluko, Peter Bodurin and others too many to mention.

Following a prolonged political crisis during Gov. Ayo Fayose administration, President Olusegun Obasanjo imposed a military administrator (General Tunji Olurin) on Ekiti State in October 2006. On April 27, 2007 Olurin was replaced by Tope Ademiluyi. In the PDP primary of 2006, 1st place finisher, Yinka Akerele and 2nd place Adesegun Ojo were supposed to be in a run-off to determine who would be the nominee of the Nigerian ruling party when President Obasanjo summoned them to Abuja and imposed the candidate who came third - Engineer Segun Oni. He was later elected in the 2007 election as the governor of the state in an election marred by widespread irregularities and the AC (ACN) candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi challenged his election and forced a rerun in May 2009.

The May 2009 rerun was characterized by even worse rigging and the election was disputed again. Eventually, after three years, the election of Oni was thrown out and Kayode Fayemi was declared the duly elected governor of Ekiti State.

Am a proud Son of Ekiti land. God bless Nigeria!
