•Minister exonerates Buhari from military probe

•’Local govt election can’t stand’


President Muhammadu Buhari has no hand in the military enquiry into the alleged use of soldiers to manipulate the June 21, 2014, governorship election in Ekiti State, Minister of Solid Minerals Development Kayode Fayemi has said.

The ex-governor said the decision to probe soldiers’ conduct was taken by the Military High Command and not by Buhari, as alleged by Governor Ayo Fayose in Lagos.
The minister, who spoke on ADABA 88.9 FM, Akure, on Saturday, described Fayose’s allegation that Buhari was planning to unseat him with the military probe as the “eruption of an infantile mind”.

Assessing developments in his home state, Fayemi said Fayose runs a “trial-and-error government” and a “government of lottery”, noting that his successor never prepared for governance, hence the alleged “reduction of governance to comedy” in Ekiti.

The minister also said the last local government election would not stand legal scrutiny, as his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has gone to the Court of Appeal to seek the nullification of the poll.
He appealed to the people to be patient, assuring them that things would soon be better.

Fayemi said Ekiti people had seen the “insensitivity” of the Fayose administration in the imposition of taxes and the governor leading a task force to harass traders and seize their goods.

Reacting to Fayose’s claim that the military Board of Enquiry probe was targeted at him (Fayose), the former governor said the erring soldiers were not being probed on their involvement in Ekiti election alone but in other states, such as Osun, Rivers and Abia.

Fayemi said: “The (Fayose’s) allegation is rubbish and so typical of the governor to reduce everything to his own imagination. To the best of my knowledge, President Buhari is no longer a military ruler.

“But if the military, in its wisdom, decides to investigate the role of soldiers in elections in Osun, Ekiti, Rivers and Abia, what has that got to do with President Buhari or the Federal Executive Council?

“He (Fayose) is only trying to draw attention to himself, he wants a response and nobody has responded to him either at party level or governmental level.

“This is the eruption of an infantile mind. We don’t want to dignify him with any response on what he has been saying about President Buhari.”

The minister said Fayose’s accusation that he (Fayemi) left a “huge debt” behind has been refuted by the pronouncement from the Debt Management Office (DMO) that Ekiti’s debt stands at N18 billion; contrary to the N85 billion and N125 billion being peddled by the incumbent governor.

He said since he left office over a year ago, he had never been invited by any anti-corruption agency to answer for any mismanagement of public funds, which is a proof that he ran a transparent government during his tenure.

“If the Fayose administration has been entertaining the public and deluding itself with bogus figures, it is left to it. I served Ekiti to the best of my ability and my record speaks for me. For those who claim that I didn’t do anything, I have put Ekiti behind me,” he said.

On the outrage over taxes imposed by the Fayose administration, Fayemi said there was nothing bad about taxation but the interest of the people must be put into consideration and there should be an interface with them before such an action is taken.

Fayemi said the governor re-introduced the Social Security Scheme of giving N5,000 to 10,000 people in the Appropriation Bill and wondeed why his was scrapped.

Speaking on the situation of the APC in Ekiti, Fayemi said he was interested in pursuing unity and ensuring that the party waxes stronger everyday. He stressed that there were no factions but interest groups working to restore the party back to power.

Fayemi explained that the unity within the party was brought to the fore by the agreement of leaders and members not to participate in the last council election and to challenge the composition of the state electoral agency in court.

The former governor described the election of the council administrators as “an illegality, which will not be allowed to stand”.

He noted that Nigerians would soon reap the change promised by the APC-led Federal Government.

I disagree
What's trial and error in stomach infrastructure
What's hard in cutting ponmo meat and distributing rice for the masses
Not sure ekiti people deserves more

Ok

THE ERUPTION OF AN INFATILE MIND.
Punch below the belt.

My take
The present pattern of governance in Ekiti State strongly hinders individual consciousness of Ekiti youths on what democractic dividends should look like. Many perceive such as essentially about frivolities displayed by Fayose. Good for the governor but for the people?

Person wey beat you 97-0 as an incumbent ..


Abeg, go sit down for dustbin ..

'trial and error' government.
this truly captures the caricature type of governance going on in Ekiti state. How can one describe a situation where a governor is seen either cutting fish in the market or monitoring the sharing of bags of rice.

Eruption of an infantile mind

Trial and error government

Oga Fayemi,there's no need to trade words. You're better than this.

Fayose style of governance would have worked perfectly in the northern states. But to apply such in arguably the most educated state in Nigeria was a big mistake.

I pity him. Because after his tenure in 2018, he must pay for some of his unguided utterances.

Well

True

I wonder why Fayemi has never been summoned by EFCC for money laundering and the likes.

I stay in Ekiti. I can't pin-point anything the Fayose guy has done since he was sworn in. Rather, you hear him on the radio shouting and clamoring about the debt Fayemi left. He ll even ask the people of Ekiti to grab Fayemi wherever they sees him.

He's a mentor to the thugs aand comedians. It is so obvious, Ekiti state is only a joke to him. No wonder, you see him cutting ponmon and fish in the market.

Fayose is loved by illiterates and thugs like him. Ask sane and educated people, they now regret why they voted for a comedian than an educator.

If only this is not a defeatist syndrome

That's why he's diverting the attention of ekiti people to his street show of eating amala and dancing in the market.





it's for a fact that fayemi has set a standard that the rascal can't meat or beat, hence his attack on him and BUHARI. How ekiti traded a fayemi for this asinine still beats my imagination.

People say Garri dey spoil eye if u take am too much. The rate of Garri I have consumed in boarding house back them hasn't blinded my eyes to see the carricature kind of governance Ekiti people have been subjected to. Fayoshe is using the feeble and gullible minds of the people of Ekiti to portray himself as a man of the people. You can't buy love, it comes naturally. PMB never bought his love, His personality and sincerity of purpose enveloped in Truth, conscience and love for Nigeria gave him that god-like love. Fayoshe is confused, he is riding on a wounded Horse, the end is near for him.

you have spoken the minds of the gods , and they they have asked me to convey their message that they're pleased with you.








Take a bow!

Inventor of stomach infrastructure, grass root politic

Where are the Fayose supporters?

Its obvious this wiZards and witches party are cooking some conspiracy to overthrow fayose's govt just to silence his voice. Anybody who tries to touch this man, may karma destroy everyone of them and their family

So everytime any arm of nigeria government decides to attack pdp members they did it on their own without the interference of Buhari even the bayelsa election where soldiers were rigging for apc but when nigeria under 17 win world cup na because of buhari , they didn't do it on their own buhari scored all the goals in the tournament. Very useless party without simple ethics.

He was never loved! Nothing like 'god-like love' for PMB. Nigerians voted him in because there was no better option not because of any love. Talk abt god-like love before election... U mention MIMIKO of ondo state, GEJ in 2011..etc. Nobody loved PMB, except His family nd kins.
