Fayose: Ekiti People Back To Egypt, Says Falana. by Gbawe: 12:41pm On Jul 15, 2014 |
Interesting Q&A session with Femi Falana. I also believe that the APC should desist from going to court over the verdict of the Ekiti election. They should learn lessons from it that will enhance our democracy. As Falana stated, Fayose will be under massive pressure to deliver and will face the same issues that made Fayemi appear 'disconnected' from the needs of Ekiti folks. Let us hope, for the sake of Ekiti folks, that Fayose has indeed changed and that he will deploy a people-centred approach to governance. http://www.punchng.com/news/fayose-ekiti-people-back-to-egypt-says-falana/

Falana is becoming a huge embarrassment to his admirers. Ekiti people have made their choice. Ayo Fayose is the man! Punch newspaper, Fashola, Leadership, Falana, Nations, TV Continental, Sahara Reporters, Radio Continental and all APC agents may go take a swim in the Athlantic Ocean 5 Likes |

Trust Gbawe. He will never disappoint. The best headline you can coin for this interview is what you have just came out with? Haba Bros, you can do better. Mind you, Falana had a very good advise for you and your ilks in APC. Read the interview again and take the advise serious. 1 Like |

Were your surprised with the outcome of Ekiti governorship election I was flabbergasted by the outcome of the results. Based on several projections in the media (and NAIRALAND ) I thought that Governor Kayode Fayemi was going to win the election - Falana bUT SORRY, hE lost Woefully 5 Likes |

shift15: Trust Gbawe. He will never disappoint. Look, I really try to ignore folks like you yet one must ask when people like you will ever grow up and stop your personality-centred approach to everything that marks you out as vengeful simpletons. Did you check the link to see that my thread title is exactly that of the original source of the article i.e the Punch? Imagine attacking another poster for presenting an article here exactly as the original ? What do you think that makes you if not one of the small-minded cretins ruining the politics section of NL? 5 Likes |

Gbawe: Gbawe the English master! Too much English in the media but so little impact in the field. Apart from LGA's election which your sitting govs manipulate to their advantage, your APC supporter of APC has not won a single credible election organised by the national INEC so far. It lost a Senatorial election in Delta, rejected woefully in Anambra and Ekiti gubernatorial elections. The big big English from you and your mentor Liar Muhammed is obviously not paying off cos come Aug 9, Aregbe-terorist will be sent packing too. 5 Likes |

Goddex: Falana is becoming a huge embarrassment to his admirers. Ekiti people have made their choice. Ayo Fayose is the man! "Huge embarrassment" to who? People like you who are not from Ekiti or the SW? People like you are just senselessly feudal 24/7. Due to this, your sense of comprehension and even common snese is always compromised. Where in the article has Falana shown that he has not accepted the choice of Ekiti people? Rather, as a true Ekiti son, he defends his people against the accusation that they are a politically unsophisticated polity who voted for "stomach infrastructure" . Instead you who is not from Ekiti or the SW choose to attack an Ekiti citizen who is saying the right thing, defending his people and actually deepening our democracy with his foresight. I can't blame you. Mindless hatred of individuals and groups run in your DNA. To that extent you can even be intrusively rude to direct stakeholders (i.e Falana who is from Ekiti) without realising it. Nairaland would be much better if people like you learn to respect others even if you do not like them. Falana is entitled to speak here on what happened in Ekiti as a citizen of the State. A prominent one for that matter who Ekiti folks look up to for wise words and direction. He does so intelligently and graciously and does not need to be attacked by people like you who never know their place and are indeed ruining Nairaland with this offensively intrusive behaviour. 8 Likes |

The question below from the article arises from the utterances of Fayose after winning the election. Fayose said he’ll not embark on industrialisation of Ekiti, what does this portend for the state? Below is the appropriate article: http://odili.net/news/source/2014/jun/23/802.html My deputy won’t succeed me -Fayose |

oduastates: Falana was right in some ways but to say that chop I chop politics did not play a part is denying the obvious. If you say "chop I chop" in relation to how stakeholder groups (Whether students, pensioners or government workers) felt they must be satisfied and settled, come what may and in disregard to the fiscal reality of things in Nigeria today, then I agree you have a point. The reality is that Ekiti did not see this "chop I chop" effect of Fayose rule in his first coming so why vote hoping Fayose will now embrace this mentality in 2014 when his antecedent shows otherwise? I think Fayemi did no wrong. He practised politics how he felt it should be. We must remember that the Awolowos, Nkrumahs, Lumumbas of African politics who are deified today are the very same let down by the people they fought for who did not have the requisite sophistication, at the time, to see what mattered the most when these visionary men tried to make a difference. Fayemi remains no different to those men in that regard and can hold his head high as an intelligent man who should know that political leadership should always be about the people and not 'do or die' desperation to cling on to power. The aspect of carrying along a sentimental polity was lost on Fayemi because he took it for granted, as many great leaders before him did, that the people understood what he was doing on their behalf and would abide with him because of the concept of 'teething pain'. This was not the case and many stakeholders, as Falana identified, were waiting to ambush him because, right or wrong, they felt Fayemi did not do his best for their particular group (civil servants, students et al). Fayose, who lost a senatorial election in 2011 woefully, was the beneficiary of this unique situation where anger against the incumbent meant automatic profit for his most viable political opponent which, for Ekiti, was always going to be the PDP candidate whoever that person is. Let us see how Fayose manages the reality of 2014 and a period of political uncertainty where we all know, even if no one will admit so, the wealth of Nigeria is currently being used to try and return a President, universally deemed a failure, to power in 2015. How much , for example, are those instigating these 'late hour' impeachment against the enemies of GEJ being paid to do so? Bottom line is that the Ekiti electorate has made it choice and the APC should learn the right lessons. No one is perfect and the APC should work with this spirit to do more in carrying the grass-root along in future even when its elected leaders are comparatively doing well. Overall, it is still not time to panic or give the PDP any undue props. The ruling Party remains a very woeful and universally condemned example of political leadership. Ekiti was more about Fayemi being perceived as disconnected from the 'sufferings' of stakeholder groups when this is not true completely. Fayose is the governor in waiting and we will see what he can do and focus the same attention on him vis a vis his effort to solve the 'problems' stakeholders voted Fayemi out for. 4 Likes |

Very apt, Falana dissected the situation so correctly, it was less of "stomachstructure" but protest votes against reforms by the incumbent. The Election was not rigged, Fayemi lost. Fayemi was not a street smart politician, he was a general figthing several battles in a war, he ought to have left some battle for his 2nd term. With the 18,000 minimum wage to pay for workers, a deluge of promises to lots of disgruntled electorates, and dwindling allocation, Fayose will barely pay salaries, talkless of executing capital projects. 2 Likes |

Fayemi was not a street smart politician, he was a general figthing several battles in a war, he ought to have left some battle for his 2nd term. Indeed. Fayemi is not and will not be the last politician to make this mistake of allowing a disconnection to grow between him and those he leads. In fact, almost all great and visionary African leaders can be accused of the same thing. These leaders see waht others cannot and sometimes fal to communicate their vision effectively to a polity too burdened to understand the need for further patience or sacrifice in the face of what is already 'unbearable' hardship. This concept, to the detriment of Africa's development, has led to the frustration and demise of many great leaders who meant well for the people and possessed the talent to make a difference yet lost the populace via not carrying it along. APC, especially because it is an opposition Party in a nation where power is concentrated inordinately in the centre with the innate vulnerability of such being exploited by an unprincipled ruling Party, needs to do more to keep the people on their side. That is the main lesson to learn and fuse into future strategy. 1 Like |
