Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State on Saturday verbally attacked fiery Muslim preacher, Sheikh Muhydeen Ajani Bello, at a prayer session in Ado-Ekiti.

The cleric had courted the governor’s venom by urging him to show more decorum in his public utterances.

The altercation took place during a prayer conference and award ceremony organised by the Southwest branch of the Ansar-ud-Deen Muslim Society of Nigeria between March 25 and 28.

On Saturday, Fayose was in attendance at the event, which had as highlights prayers for the country and the honouring of deserving Muslims with awards, when the outspoken preacher offered his advice.

Those at the event said the preacher told Fayose that as the Number One citizen of the state, he needs to be more cautious in his public utterances.

The unsolicited advice apparently did not sit well with the governor, they said, as he responded with abusive words at the preacher, who attempted to reply him but was restrained by some of the elders in attendance. His microphone was disabled.

The elders also appealed to the governor to leave the venue, having already performed his role, but he bluntly refused, an action that led to a three-hour disruption of the programme.

The governor subsequently left the event, which ended on Monday morning. Attempts to interview the cleric, who was present until Sunday, proved abortive.

Mr. Lere Olayinka, Special Assistant to Fayose on New Media, expressed the view that the cleric deserved the insults the governor drenched him in.

Where did you left your manners, a governor should learn to be more respectful especially as it regards other peoples faith. It was a candid advise which was never politicised but he went on the offensive. To bad for Ekiti State!

That's not cooool. Fayose careful there.

The cleric couldn't respect the office of a governor and you are here demanding respect?


Didnt the Cleric holy book teach him about respect for constituted authority?

EdCure:
Fayose is a confirmed jester, no doubt. But what does an islamic cleric know about decorum? The raghead should preach it in his mosque.
These islamic hypocrites like living in contradition.
