The political drama in Ekiti since Buhari was declared winner of the March 28th election has no doubt been crisis ridden, courtesy of the APC lawmakers that waited for the result of the election before realizing Fayose has been breaching the constitution. The acclaimed change agents deliberately provoked the executive by unnecessarily delaying the ratification of some key portfolios the Government needed to run successfully.
Omirin and the lawmakers decided to announce a long recess when Fayose was sworn in and to make matter worse, he decided not to attend the inauguration of the incoming government based on selfish, frivolous and baseless claims. He Omirin was in shock and still is and couldn’t live with the reality that Fayose was sworn in on October 16th 2014 because, they had perfected their plans but as God will have it, it didn’t work out. He had already been disillusioned with the fact that the promise made to him didn’t materialize and since then he and a few disgruntled elements in the APC in Ekiti state i.e Ojudu ,others and their sponsors from outside the state have being bent on frustrating and making the state ungovernable for the Governor.
APC had lost power twice; first in 2003 and the last in 2014.Ironically, Ayo Fayose of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was the nut that was too hard for the APC to break in the two times it got bashed at the polls.Apparently, three political parties exist in Ekiti State. They are: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peter Ayodele Fayose, the incumbent Governor of the state. While PDP and APC were lawfully registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to contest for elective positions, the people of the state registered Fayose into their minds as a political idol whose actions please their wits.
How time flies! Just like yesterday, the Alliance for Democracy (AD) won governorship election in Ekiti state in 1999. The people voted then for AD because the party preached the virtues of welfarism, populism, progressivism and selflessness which the late Yoruba political sage, Obafemi Awolowo represents.
However, within six months that Adebayo assumed office, Ekiti masses starting lamenting. Adebayo governed his people with reckless abandonment. Salaries of civil servants were not paid as at when due.
As Adebayo grounded Ekiti, the people wail in utmost disappointment. However, as the April 2003 governorship election gathered momentum, the secluded people of Ekiti state queued behind Fayose who was the candidate of the PDP. The people wanted a change and they saw hope in Fayose.
As expected, on the Election Day, a befuddled Adebayo looked back and saw a scanty crowd behind him in all the polling units across the state. The commoners voted to knapsack Adebayo from government. They voted to install the man who speaks their language. Fayose was inaugurated on May 29 2003 as the second executive governor of the state amidst fanfare.
Against the prediction of some paper analysts who had thought Fayose would disappoint his people, the rounded politician governed Ekiti like a populist. All the arrears of salaries and allowances of teachers, civil servants and council workers that he inherited were paid before government appointees were paid their furniture allowance. The Artisans, Driver Unions, Motorcyclists, market men and women and all the labour forces were incorporated into the government. Fayose wined and dined with the common people. Fayose opened the floodgate of civilization in Ekiti. He gave Ado-Ekiti a face-lift. Ado-Ikere road and other inter- state roads in the state capital were dualized. Many roads that had never been asphalted were asphalted. Many Communities were opened up with a motorable road. From Awo to Eyio, Esure to Ifaki, Itaji to Omu to Ijelu, Iworoko to Are, Afao to Igbemo, Ire to Afao, Ikere to Igabara odo, Aramoko to Erinjiyan, Ilawe to Igbara-odo, Ikogosi to Erinjiyan; from the north to the south, west to the eastern parts of the state, many roads were opened up by the Fayose’s administration.
Under Fayose, Ekiti performance rose from number 34th to 7th position in SSCE. All the state owned tertiary institutions were refurbished with high-quality infrastructures. College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti was ranked the best state owned in Nigeria. EKSU too received a dutiful attention. With a sterling performance, Fayose decimated the Elitist oriented AD and anti-masses bourgeoisies within the PDP in Ekiti State.
As Fayose’s popularity booms among the common people, the elites got livid. In a swift response, the Elites bombarded the town with cants. They incited the common people against Fayose. The masses were wheedled by humbug told them by the elites. Having succeeded in fooling the masses, they enlisted the support of the then Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo against Fayose.
To my surprise, the Owu General bows to the pressure of angry Ekiti elites and traded his begotten son to the opposition. The state lawmakers were also coerced into the conspiracy against the Afao-Ekiti born politician.
And after many twists and turns, the enemies against Ekiti succeeded in their evil plot against the state. Fayose was decayed. He was impeached at gun point. A civilian coup was carried out. Fayose was sent into exile. The AD and its members that had been annihilated by Fayose in Ekiti moved with their Lagos based leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to form the Action Congress (AC) which the anti-Fayose’s used to run for elective positions in 2007 general elections. Akin Osuntokun from Okemesi whom Fayose was allegedly oiling from exile was disqualified from running for the primaries of PDP. In swift radar, Fayose supporters picked a United States based Varsity Don, Adesegun Ojo and bankrolled him against Oni who was the candidate of Abuja.
The primaries were contested, results were released, the Abuja candidate, Segun Oni lost but the Engineer from Ifaki-Ekiti was picked by the power that be. Alas, INEC declared Oni as the winner of the election that was without doubt, marred with irregularities.
Nevertheless, when Fayose came back from exile in December 2007, he conspired with AC against Oni, his party an for an electoral war of attrition. In 2009, an Appeal Court sitting in Ilorin ordered for a rerun election between Oni and Fayemi. Fayose mobilized the common people for Fayemi. However, the will of the people was circumvented by some Abuja based cabal. Fayemi won but Oni was declared winner again.
Nonetheless, Fayemi got his mandate back in October 2010. He won a fierce battle that lasted for 18 months in court.Fayose was named a martyr of democracy by the opposition then. With the support of the people, Fayose abase Oni and enthrone Fayemi. Sadly, Fayose was dejected by the people he assisted into government.Fayemi turned his back against Fayose. Fayose declared his intention to run for senate in 2011 but Fayemi refused to support him. He was fought with the instrumentality of money and power he lost.
After the defeat, Fayose went to drawing board. Seventeen months later, he came out to declare his ambition to govern Ekiti again. Then, the APC had been formed. Fortunately for Fayose, the people had felt offended by Fayemi. The teachers, pensioners, civil servants, council workers, artisans, students and the poorest of the poor that constitutes 80% of the voting population in the state were already angry with Fayemi.
On June 21 2014, the angry electorates came to judgment and they voted to restore their friend, Fayose back to government. Fayose made history as the first politician to defeat two different incumbent governors in Nigeria. He thread-bared a governor reportedly loved by the international community but possesses narrow honour among his people. He crushed the broom of APC in Ekiti into pieces across the sixteen local government areas of the state.
As usual, the opposition APC kicked. They alleged that the military aided Fayose’s victory against Fayemi. The party claimed that PDP used a chemical to rig the election. But on March 28 2015 Presidential and National Assembly elections which APC massively won across the South West, Nigeria, Fayose repeated same margin in Ekiti. 16-0 it ended against APC. On April 11th State Houses of Assembly election, Fayose’s candidates won all the twenty six assembly seats in the state. Fayose unravels APC’s tangle.
How did Fayose do it for three consecutive times within six months? People, no magic were performed. Ekiti is a civil service state. He pays workers salaries as at when due. Fayose empowers the local contractors with jobs so that cash could flow in the state. He pays pensioners promptly. He has reduced the tuition fees of all the state owned tertiary institutions by 40%. He handed state assembly ticket to four educated people among the artisans, drivers, market men and women.
The last time APC’s caucus unprecedentedly won elections in Ekiti was in 1999. Fayose won in 2003. He won election for Fayemi in 2009. He was victorious in 2014. He has triumphed twice in 2015. And going by the above, I can say that Fayose will keep winning elections for his party in Ekiti till his last breathe provided that he doesn’t derail.
How will fayose be impeached when the CJ refused to set up the panel within 7days as stipulated by the constitution.
He preferred to be seen with commoners than to be seen with the Elites; this was the 'mistake' he made that made the Elites pitched their tents against him.

The elites led war against him, and undemocratically toppled his government in 2006, but the commoners in response brought him back to power in 2014 defeating the symbol of Elitism 16:0 in all the 16 LG of the state. Not done with that, the commoners further affirmed their love for Oshoko, and hatred for the Elites by repeating another 16:0 balloting on the 28th of March 2015, and capped it all with 26:0 victory for Fayose.

The Elites painted Fayose as the devil. They called him unprintable names just to discredit him. They sent their Evil-11 and Goner-16 Trouble makers to intimidate him, but the commoners resisted. They said 'Fayose we know, Fayose we trust, Fayose we want'

The Elites used every propagating instrument to discredit him viz; Print and Electronic media but the commoners used social media viz; Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc to correct that wrong impression about him.

The Ekiti people that I know will never follow bad, evil or devilish person. If Ayodele Fayose was actually bad, evil, or corrupt as he has been painted by the Elites, Ekiti kete would not have voted enmass for him in 2003, 2014, and twice in 2015.

People out side Ekiti should have asked, who is lying between the microscopic elites, who reside in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, UK, US etc and the entire Ekiti people at home who are better furnished with first hand information about the happenings in the state.

Ayo Fayose isn't saint but, his filthiness, is better than the righteousness of the Elites. He doesn't pretend, and won't promise heaven on earth.

He is presently the Governor of Ekiti, and will be till 2018.

God bless Ekiti Kete!
