Fayose To FG : Don’t Shield Aluko From Trial by Ofunaofu: 6:36pm On Feb 14, 2016
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose,
has told the Federal Government not to shield Dr
Tope Aluko from facing perjury trial.
A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti had
granted an experte order, compelling the State
Commissioner of Police to bring Dr Tope Aluko
Aluko to Court for the purpose of committing him
for trial for the offence of perjury.
But Aluko, on the 10th of February had approached
the same Magistrate Court seeking the vacation of
the Warrant of Arrest issued against him.
Aluko was wanted for allegedly recounting the
statement earlier made on
oath during the trial of the election of Governor
Ayodele Fayose at
the Election Petition Tribunal, where he served as a
principal Witness
to the Peoples Democratic Party in a case instituted
by the All Progressives Congress.
The PDP Scribe had a couple of weeks ago granted
an interview where he averred that the election of
June 21, 2014, where Fayose had defeated
ex-governor Kayode Fayemi to emerge governor ,
was allegedly rigged by the PDP in cahoots with the
military .
Fayose said Federal Government should not shield
Dr Aluko from facing open trial over his allegation
that the June 21, 2014 governorship poll in the
state was rigged in favour of the governor and his
party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti Sunday,
said it was unbecoming of a government, which
prides itself as clean, to use an agency of
government to prevent somebody that has breached
the law of the land from prosecution.
He therefore demanded that the FG should not use
the Department of State Security Service from
preventing another arm of government, the judiciary,
from trying Aluko for perjury.
Fayose therefore said the All Progressives Congress
(APC)-led FG should immediately allow the relevant
agencies of government to try Aluko for perjury.
"To Aluko and his sponsors, he is a whistle-blower,
one thing we are sure of is that the whistle will
eventually explode on Aluko's face as well as the
faces of his sponsors. Aluko is the one who said he
saw white and that the white has now turned black.
Nigerians are demanding that he should be brought
to the open to explain how what he said and
maintained up to the Supreme Court level has
changed.
"He testified under oath at the tribunal, Appeal Court
and even the Supreme Court and he came out again
to recant. A vital arm of government, the judiciary,
issued a valid order for his arrest and prosecution
and that was widely publicised, but surprisingly, the
Federal Government is using the DSS to frustrate
that by pretending to be interrogating him and
shielding him from facing trial.
"Democracy is hinged on separation of powers and
the rule of law so that nobody or arm of
government would become the all-in-all. Those who
are in authority now should know that others have
been there before them and if their predecessors
had turned everything uside down, what would they
have met.
"If Aluko and his sponsors are sure of their
allegation, let them release Aluko for trial in the
open court. The people of Ekiti State who voted
overwhelmingly for Ayodele Fayose and the Peoples
Democratic Party are ready to defend the mandate
they freely gave.
Every attempt they have made to rubbish the
mandate have always failed including this Aluko
plot and nobody should use an agent of government
to cover the shame some people willingly brought
on themselve by chasing shadows,"he said.
The governor therefore demanded that Aluko be
handed over to the police for prosecution for perjury
in accordance with a valid and subsisting court
order.
