The 3 Things We Learned From Fayose’s Show Of Thuggery In An Ekiti Court Premise by solazo: 7:24pm On Sep 25, 2014
According to several reports, Ekiti State Governor elect, Ayodele Fayose, ordered an army of thugs loyal to him to beat up Justice John Adeyeye in the early hours of Thursday.

Justice Adeyeye was adjudged to have been rude to Fayose and was left to taste his own bile as a consequence thereafter.

Fayose and his thugs had besieged the High court in Ado-Ekiti as early as 6am, where a Governorship Election petition Tribunal hearing was billed to take place.

Justice Adeyeye had appealed to Fayose to prevail on the thugs to keep a respectable distance from the court premises given their outrageous numbers and boisterous conduct. Reports say Fayose shouted down at the trial Judge for “insulting” him and with a snap of the finger, his thugs had descended on the Judge; beating him to a pulp.

Justice Adeyeye’s clothes were ripped apart as other judicial workers scampered to safety and mayhem ensued.

Justice Adeyeye is nursing his wounds and bruises at a private hospital in Ado-Ekiti.

Here are three things we picked up from Fayose’s show of shame in the heart of Ekiti:

1) Old Habits Die Hard
On the road to being elected Governor of Ekiti State, Fayose had promised to turn a new leaf after several reports of his acts of brigandage during his stint as Governor of Ekiti State in the past, resurfaced. “I am a changed man now”, he told party loyalists at one point. Those words are already beginning to sound hollow.

2) Thuggery And Fayose Are A Match Made In Hell
As Governor of Ekiti State between 2003 and 2006, Fayose reportedly moved around with a gun and an army of loyal thugs baying for blood. He shot in the air to infuse fear, physically assaulted anyone who crossed his path, hobnobbed with cultists and wayfarers, scaled a fence to catch his flight and gave “thuggery” in Ekiti State a whole new meaning. On Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, we learned that the thugs may be making a return to the streets of Ekiti after Fayemi’s reign of near civility.

3) He’ll Go After His Predecessor
And with some vengeance as well. In several social media posts, Fayose has left no one in doubt that Governor Kayode Fayemi, the amiable and avuncular gentleman he roundly defeated at the polls, will be in for a rough time when he assumes the reins eventually. In dealing a raw deal to a purveyor of the law in Ekiti State on Thursday, Fayose was sending a message that he’ll go as far as manipulating the courts to hand Fayemi a harrowing experience.

Ekiti may well have handed over the seat of government in the 21st century to a man who fancies more brawn than brain and more graft than statecraft.

Mumu write up from a paid APC minions. Thuggry is part and parcel of Yoruba people life. Fayose didnt invent thuggry he copied it from APC godfathers and since Yoruba people are not ready to let thuggry die a natural death and it has becom their way of life fayose is having no fault.
