Ayodele Fayose: Buhari’s First Casualty As President - Opinion by Nobody: 9:04am On Feb 24, 2015 |
“Knowledge helps men to identify with conduct that is distant from sneering remarks.”-Eddie Asukwo The Governor of Ekiti State, runs contrary to the above quote. One will expect that for someone who holds such a revered office in the state, he should be of good example and a model worth emulating. But all these are absent, when the name Fayose is mentioned. He has left the governance of his state and dwelt on campaigns of calumny against the leading opposition presidential candidate. Fayose, may I remind you that Ekiti State ranks top among the least developed states in Nigeria. A state where riding Okada seems to be the viable business and the Fayose market mainly occupied by the igbos in doing their businesses and contributing to the growth of the state. Can Fayose name one viable thing that is working in the state, or the developments in terms of infrastructures? An impeached governor who was smuggled back into government house through a fraud electoral process which only the courts can decide his fate on the elections. The much publicised rigging tape by Captain Sagir involving Fayose and his team of riggers still exposes the rot in our electoral system and the biased nature of our military institution. The signs are getting clearer. Goodluck Jonathan once said,”Even the blind can see.” Fayose, undoubtedly, will become Buhari’s first casualty when he becomes president. We have nothing in our minds to doubt that Fayose may go the way he went in his first missionary journey to government house. He will be running and seeking for help just the way he did when he was desperately seeking a return to government house and even wrote an apology letter to Obasanjo. The same Obasanjo he is castigating today. The same Buhari he is running propaganda against. Politics is a game of interest. In one of my published articles entitled: AYODELE FAYOSE:THE MISTAKE GOVERNOR OF EKITI STATE. I expected that this man must have learnt something. But he proves to be a bad student who refuses to learn. All the gimmicks displayed and his vociferous attacks on Buhari are mere defence mechanisms to be seen to be working for Jonathan. It is the likes of Fayose that has made Jonathan to grow unpopular everyday. You don’t attack always. But Fayose’s launch of massive attacks on Buhari and Obasanjo needs a reprisal response. The day Buhari is announced as president, I bet you that Fayose will offer the first congratulatory message. He loves his position as a governor, but he doesn’t know how to keep it. He has become Buhari’s campaign aide. Leaving his job as a governor and you think he is working for Jonathan? The more propaganda he runs against Buhari, the more votes he convinces Nigerians for him. If Buhari emerges, our earnest wish is that he forgives the many sins of Fayose against him. But I cannot assure Fayose that Obasanjo will forgive him. But will only wish his ouster as governor. This write up is not a prediction because am not a seer, it is a reminder on Fayose to learn from history so that today’s joy will not be tomorrow’s regrets. A REPUTATION FOUNDED ON INTEGRITY MUST BE NURTURED BY TRUTH.

Honestly, the only folks who can praise and identify with Fayose's conduct are those with no good home breeding. Yorubas call them "omo alaileko". Fayose's behaviour is one all decent Nigerians from good backgrounds, whether supporters of the APC or PDP, should condemn. His politics of evil and bitterness, when the PDP called for "issue-based" campaigning, shames the ruling Party of the biggest black nation on earth. 5 Likes |

Another violent undemocratic op-Ed. I suppose Gov. Ayo Fayose will lose his immunity immediately you vote Buhari or APC will scrap Judiciary in event it captures power at the centre (though future impossible assumption). It is good people are experiencing small slice of the stupidity of Gov Rotimi Amaechi in attacking Mr President in Gov. Fayose's utterances and attack on the people's General. I once thought Gov. Amaechi's stupidity was bravery, not again. Now I know that Buhari's supporters are everything but democrats |

He loves his position as a governor, but he doesn’t know how to keep it. Can a tout know how to keep something precious since it was given to him on a platter of God through the back door He has become Buhari’s campaign aide. That's a known fact He is now the Chief publist of the APC with his negative propaganda which the populace have out grown and can read btw his actions and words Let him continue |

Ngwakwe: . . . . . . . . . .Fayose will not lose immunity, rather the judiciary will not be "tampered" with in order to protect him . . . . . . . . . .I'm sure the capt. Sagir episode will be properly looked into . . . . . . . . . .what's the parallel between Fayose and Amaechi? has Amaechi wished death on anyone? is Amaechi stalking anyone? |

Ngwakwe: One's immunity comes from one's democratic office. Sometimes it comes from an influential presidency with money to burn as we all have witnessed in Ekiti. Sometimes the state house could have its exco overturned even when a quorum isn't formed. Sometimes you even get a president who's informed about evidence in the form of a recording in which a few party members of his contrived to rig an election yet he outrightly debunks it. Such body language tells the masses something and sometimes teleguides the judiciary into submission. Such are the joys of a nascent democracy whereby the rule of law would always take its 'natural course'. 1 Like |
