A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, has called for the arrest of the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, saying that the governor rigged the June 21, 2014 Ekiti governorship election.

A statement by Falana’s organisation, Value and Integrity Group, on Thursday, said Fayose should be tried for the ‘political malfeasance that characterised the Ekiti governorship election’.

The statement was signed by the coordinator of the group, Shina Odugbemi.

The statement said, “Having consistently demanded the prosecution of all the wicked criminals who shared in the looting of the funds meant for the procurement of arms, Mr. Falana has called for the arrest and trial of Mr. Ayodele Fayose and his cohorts over the N4.8bn deployed to perpetrate the grave electoral malfeasance that characterised the last Ekiti State governorship election.



“In particular, Mr. Falana stated that Mr. Fayose should be tried since he was a candidate and not a governor when the serious electoral offences were committed by him. On his contention that the governor’s immunity does not cover his impunity, Mr. Falana cited several decisions of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.

“With respect to fresh facts which have established that the election was marred by monumental fraud, Mr. Falana has opined that the Supreme Court could be approached by the APC to review its judgment on the endorsement of the election of Mr. Fayose since it is trite law that any judgment obtained by fraud is liable to be set aside.”

Dismissing the allegation of inconsistency, Falana said that he, like many other Nigerians, did not know that the election was marred by irregularities — hence his earlier position that the election was won by Fayose.

Falana added, “However, in recent time, earth-shaking revelations have been credited to those who took part in the illegal use of armed soldiers to manipulate the election in favour of Mr. Fayose.

“When the revelations of Captain Sagir Koli who recorded the conversation of the electoral bandits, including the altercation between General Aliyu Momoh and Mr. Fayose were published last year, there were denials by the dramatis personae.”

But Fayose said Falana was attacking his administration because he was frustrated by his inability to realise his ambition of governing Ekiti State.

A statement by the Special Assistant to Fayose on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Thursday, denied the allegation that several unresolved murders occurred during the first term of Fayose as governor.

The statement said, “It is strange that a lawyer of Falana’s standing would keep talking about someone committing a crime over 10 years ago without him being able to get the person convicted. Oga Femi Falana is fast turning himself into a jester with his obsession of jumping on the rooftop to make noise over anything about Ayo Fayose.

“Falana did not utter a word to condemn the murder of 10 indigenes of the state that were murdered during the tenure of the APC government.

“He (Falana) can come to Ekiti and stand for election again and let’s see if he can win even the House of Assembly election in Ilawe-Ekiti, his hometown.”

I trust Fayose in dishing upper cuts to the enemy
We don't know what to make of this man called Falana.
After seeing the 4 million underage voters and the charades in S/W including Lagos State, all of APC victories in last elections should be vacated including Buhari's purported victory.

This Falana man is fast loosing relevance after his exclusion from the ministerial nominees.

Let us wait till the fat mouth Idi*t finish his tenure before he can be arrested. He will surely pay for his sins at the appropriate time !!

Fayose always on the news.

another noise. maker. any way let's hear his reaction

How on earth did this clown become a SAN?!! The man is becomming to emotional and lacks common sense.

SANs should be alerted that one of their honorable member is getting dishonorable and have the title striped of him.

but u have it

Now I know that this man is a total buffon.

Is he not aware of the constitutional provision of immunity for governors?

This is how he tried to propose that Fayose should be made to face a military court martial.

This same integrity challenged charlatan wants to subvert the courts and constitution over his desperate attempt to get Buhari to notice him for appointment as EFCC chair.

What is wrong with you?

What concerns Igbo in this latest nonsense?

I know you are not igbo but won't to Derail this into a tribal war from where you will get your compromised mods to ban posters.

You apc zombies are just too daft.

I think Fayose should offer the frustrated and embittered Falana man a job.

Its not easy holding body and soul together for years without a defined job

Soyinka is now reasoning well after being offered work

Gerra here mehn

Falana sound foolish on this issue of Fayose anytime he talks about the case that had been laid to rest by the Supreme court and not minding the fact that Fayose is covered by Immunity

I keep saying it & will continue falana has lost it. human right died with Chief Gani. the rest including Festus are political joblers

Noneroone:
but u have it

Same as as your parents that raised an ineffectual buffon as a child

Hmmm. What's with Falana and Fayose sef

Falana!!!The father of hypocrisy.

In due time that rogue who usurped the govonorship through fraud shall bear a most odious punishment befitting his crime. Wailing zombies your wailing us is just about to become more intense. PDP shall rot in infamy till kingdom come.

Arrest all of them, put them in prison. Turn the prison to a museum where our children and generations to come can go there and see those who inflicted pains in their fathers land.

Buhari if you can do this, i shall forever be grateful to u

this man called Falana is a disgrace to the legal profession, LPPC should relieve him of his SANship

IS FALANA MAD

He has gone "MAD".
