Threat to make Ekiti ungovernable: Fayose drags APC to AU, UN

on April 22, 2015 / in News 2:41 pm / Comments

The governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has noted that he has reported the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29, stressing that there is an alleged threat by the party to make Ekiti state ungovernable.

“In alerting the international community on what to expect from May 29 as regards the threat by the APC to make Ekiti ungovernable, I have decided to put on notice the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29.

“Since Ekiti people are certain to resist the planned plundering of their land, Nigerians and the world at large should know who to hold responsible in the event of anarchy in Ekiti State in particular and the entire Yorubaland,” he noted in a press statement.

Read full statement below:
It has become imperative once again to address the media on the constitutional and political crises being foisted on our dear State, Ekiti by irritants of unbridled ambitions, who are not only devoid of spirit of sportsmanship but implacable even when all odds are against them and roundly rejected by the good people of the state.
Fayose and Buhari

Fayose and Buhari

It is no longer news that I defeated an incumbent governor in all the 16 Local Government Areas in the State and that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, attempts were made to use the courts to prevent someone who clearly won a governorship election from assuming office.

Since June 21, 2014 that the All Progressives Congress (APC) suffered that humiliating defeat, the party has suffered defeats in the entire local government areas in Ekiti State in four other elections, the latest being the House of Assembly election in which APC won no single seat out of the 26 seats.

Ekiti people have been persistent in their preference for me and my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to correct the ills of the last four years and set the State on the path of greatness.

Despite that Ekiti people have consistently spoken with their votes against the APC, Nigerians are witnesses to the litany of illegalities being woven by both the national leadership of the party and its Ekiti State chapter, all in an attempt to rob Ekiti people of the mandate freely given to me.

Despite receiving bloodied nose in both the political and judicial arena in the hands of the Ekiti masses as represented by me, these desperate politicians are unrelenting in their shenanigans, the latest being the information at my disposal that even after May 29, the state would not know peace.

I however trust Ekiti people to do what is right in securing peace in their land.
I have been severally informed that I became the prime demolition target of the APC national leadership because of my overt and unalloyed support for President Goodluck Jonathan during the campaigns.

Insiders in their party also told me that APC leaders were also yet to get over the fact that in the entire South-West, Ekiti was the only state they could not “rob” for General Mohammed Buhari (rtd). The eagle-eyed surveillance of Ekiti people ensured that.

I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and administration was not about bread-and-butter. I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.

Let me state It clearly that if President Jonathan is deserted by all Nigerians today, I, Ayodele Fayose, would remain with him. I have chosen to be his last-man standing.

If for this show of loyalty to Mr President and my party, APC and its leaders believe that the best way to pay me back is to make Ekiti ungovernable, the decision on appropriate reaction belongs to the people, whose mandate I keep in trust.

It is ironic that those who said worse things about the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) when they were in opposing parties, are the ones milling around him today, using him as an electoral talisman and demonizing us for saying things of lesser magnitude during a campaign that was mainly characterized by hate-messages from both divides.

I also want to put on record that if all PDP members decamp to APC today, I will remain the last-man standing for the party, even as I have no cause to denigrate the office of the president.

I also promise APC a robust and engaging opposition both in the South-West, and nationally, with me playing a prominent role.

Let me again state that I will continue to seek peace with my traducers and troublers of Ekiti.
Since the Supreme Court judgement which held my 2006 impeachment as illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect, my preachings have been peace. This is to see if a hand of fellowship as urged by elders in the state and the nation at large would bring sanity to the opposition camp. It definitely has nothing to do with cowardice; as Ekiti is a land of the brave.

In alerting the international community on what to expect from May 29 as regards the threat by the APC to make Ekiti ungovernable, I have decided to put on notice the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29.

Since Ekiti people are certain to resist the planned plundering of their land, Nigerians and the world at large should know who to hold responsible in the event of anarchy in Ekiti State in particular and the entire Yorubaland.

God bless our land.
Ayo Fayose,

Governor, Ekiti State

APC and PDP

lol d guy is nw shaking... wen he was sayin all dose rubbish he no knw o


*sips agbalumo juice*

Fayose playing a defensive game with attacking formation...

why always fayose?this is how falsehood starts. APC has never saìd they wìll make ekiti ungovernable, this was how the buhari ungovernable statement started, the deputy governor of ondo has been served impeachment notice,and nobody is blocking the assembly ground or entrance to ondo state,, before nyako was impeached was he not elected by adamawa people?the 19 constitute more than a quorum, so what is the cry?they shouldn't perform their functions or is impeachment of an errant executive not their function?

Fayose has murdered sleep, hence he will not sleep. Impeachment is what keep Executive checked and whenever they are found wanting..., impeachment is inevitable. he is not the first neither will he be the last. This comment won't change anything as these same people will desert him when it matters most. He should asked those before him.

Lol

These are politicians not people like Atiku and OBJ looking and running to where there is greener pasture. Buhari should be careful of people around him.

APC is planning a government of no opposition and that can never work.

Fayose, the last man standing! If Fayose can tackle Obasanjo, who is APC and senile Buhari?

Fayose! You will forever have my respect. You are by far the most popular politician to his electorate. Again and again, the people you govern have shown enormous love for you. No other politician hold this internecine appeal with his/her electorate...that is why they all hate you. The reason for their hate is envy.

That is your father's name.

Fayose should expect more intimidation from the APC and I'm sure that he won't survive it. He is the architect of his own undoing; he fought very dirty and all his political jibes during the campaign were below the belt. It was obvious that whoever won would take all, and unfortunately for him, APC did. I don't pity him!

Ekiti state has become a soap opera that everyone is watching.
I hope the major actor will last

See parrot fm again,so he dnt knw dis wen he dy yern anyhow.....yeye dey smell coz una neva see anyfin yet.....

Can any resident of Ekiti tell us the real situation report.
It seems there is an economy paralysis in the state.

APC should let this man rule Ekiti State and wait for him in the next election!!!

My humble take is that the way APC is pursuing Rivers, Ekiti and other PDP states may lead to truncating this democracy. They should realise that as it is now PDP leaders have nothing to lose if this democratic regime is truncated.

Unfortunately, APC are pushing their luck too far!!! They have not taken over, they are harassing everybody, penciling down who they will sack and who they will change, threatening to remove service chiefs, to probe $30B military spend and all that. I fear that the crisis that they may create in this quest for POLITICAL TRIUMPHALISM may lead to the demise of the fourth republic

Let those who now boast in triumphalism be watchful and be careful. If Ekiti, Rivers Imo and Akwa-Ibom states become ungovernable because APC is bent on ruling all over the nation, well it may be too late as the crisis that would engulf Nigeria may just end APC's and democratic rule. I am not an advocate of military intervention, but it appears our political class do not learn!!! APC has started treading the path of NPN in 1983 of "moon slide victory and bandwagon effect".
