Nigerians Are Dying In Silence – Fayose by kcmichael: 9:07pm On Feb 24, 2018 |
Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has said the corporate existence of Nigeria is being threatened by selective administration of justice, marginalisation, vendetta against perceived political opponents among others and called on well-meaning citizens to rise up and salvage the situation before it is too late. This is just as he decried the level of poverty in the country, adding that many Nigerians are dying in silence with nobody standing up for them. He therefore called on people of good conscience not to allow their voices to be silenced because of possible political antagonism or persecution. He spoke in Lagos on Friday night while being conferred with the award of Man of the People by the Silverbird Group. In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, he quoted the governor as saying that the major step to take to solve the problem was in going back to the basics and restructuring the country. Fayose, who fielded questions from newsmen after the event, said he would not allow anybody to drown his voice or silence him no matter what it would cost. “A lot of people we know to be vocal have lost their voices. Some have taken cover under the beds of their wives. We are in a perilous time and I appreciate those who are still standing for the people at this time. For me I will remain a man. Some people have kept quiet because they fear that they may be persecuted. ” But should we all keep quiet when people are oppressed and suppressed and blatantly marginalised? Look at the level of poverty in the country, it is sickening. The standard of living has gone down. And how do we explain a situation where some people are treated as slaves and others as princes. This country belongs to all of us. It is in serious need now and we must salvage the situation,” he said. On the call for restructuring, Fayose said he aligned with the call made many years ago by the late Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu that the country must be restructured. He noted that the issues that led to the civil war were yet to be resolved many decades after. “I was moved by what the late Chief Ojukwu said many years ago and never knew his wife would be the one to present this award to me. We should go back to the basics or we are going no where. We are one and the same and no section must be marginalised,” he said. While charging leaders to make laws for the good of the people, he noted that such laws must be obeyed by all. Fayose added that the law prohibiting open grazing in Ekiti State has come to stay, warning that anybody who crosses the line would be dealt with. While presenting the award to Fayose, former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, described Fayose as an irrepressible governor of the people. Also speaking, the Chairman of the Silverbird Group, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, said all the award winners were men and women who deserved to be so recognised.

The man that said Nigerians are dying in silence is owing Ekiti State civil servants over 6months salaries and pensioners only God knows how long, Ekiti State University lecturers and Ekiti State Teaching Hospital are on strike as a result of non payment of salary. But Federal Government is up to date with salary yet my brothers across the River Niger hail him as their gods and personal saviour. I hereby wish Fayose to be governor of a state to anyone that will support him. 2 Likes |

Nigerians are very vocal about their plight, they are dying but not in silence. Except for those from Ekiti who keep seeing you as the next Obafemi Awolowo. |

KenOne:It is only children who don't know their left from their right that believes in Fayose. We all know he's climbing on the helplessness of the masses to get to the top for his own selfish aims. |

It is hard to find a Yoruba man who is not a slave of the Northern Hausa-Fulani caliphate of Sokoto. Which is ehy most of them eill hate Nnamdi Kanu, the unapologetic freedom fighter. So, in those rare times we come across someone like Fayose, from the west, who has decided not to lick the a$$ of the gworo chewing cow herder from Daura, it is worth appreciating. It will be a long time before we see another Governor like him emerge from from the West |

24/7 power supply is very possible...But a cabal of old wicked and evil entities benefit from our darkness.... We can have good roads, and reduce accidents in our roads... We can have good schools everywhere in the country. Our minds can truly be free. Nigeria can be safe. Food can be everywhere. Our leaders can be corrupt free, our police can have sense, Nigeria can be great. It's truly possible.. Nigerians can be free. #ANewNigeria |
