PRESS: Ex- Ekiti State Governors On The Security Situation In Ekiti--Lindaikeji by Nobody: 2:35am On Mar 27, 2015
Press statement as released on Kayode Fayemi's website
today about the security situation Ekiti state..

"It has come to our attention that a team of hoodlums in
three unmarked Hilux vehicles went round the State,
armed with guns, machetes, knives and axes to the
houses of APC membersand also to the homes of PDP
members in the State who are opposed to the political
philosophy of Governor Ayo Fayose. Their most recent
operation centered on Ijero Local Government. There,
they created mayhem, beat and tortured the 90-year old
father of the Commissioner for Financeunder the Fayemi
administration. The hoodlums destroyed shops and
properties including cars belonging even to PDP
members because of their perceived opposition to
Fayose. The APC members were severely bloodied in the
process."

This came barely 48 hours after former Governors Adebayo,
Oni and Fayemi visited the State Commissioner of Police as
well as the State Director of DSS on the security situation in
Ekiti. The Governors had called on the security chiefs to
prevail on Governor Fayose to put an end to the ongoing
impunity, thuggery, brigandage, political rascality and
torture. We had warned that if push comes to shove, the
Party and all well-meaning people in the State will result to
self-help to protect themselves, their assets and their rights
guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
During the visit of the Vice Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to Ekiti on Monday March 23rd,
2015, members of APC riding to the reception venue in
Buhari/Osinbajo and APC branded vehicles were attacked in
Ado Ekiti. They were shot at and several of their vehicles,
including those belonging to Hon. Mrs. Bunmi Oriniowo, APC House of Assembly candidate and Amb. Olofin, the APC Ekiti Central Senatorial candidate, were destroyed by the
hoodlums. We want to state unequivocally that we will no
longer tolerate any further unprovoked attack on and willful
destruction of APC branded vehicles and assets in the State.
Keeping calm thus far is not out of weakness or incapacity to respond. We are only mindful of the lessons of history.
Please recall that the First Republic ended with the
“Operation Wetie” political violence that erupted in Ekiti when similar situation of political rascality as we have now became prevalent in the West. We do not want this to happen again.
Notwithstanding, if further provoked, we will have no choice
than to respond in kind!
We can no longer continue to live with a situation in which
seven lawmakers are making laws for the State in gross
violation of our Constitution. It is alarming that this can be
allowed to continue without anyone attempting to call the
abnormality to order. Ekiti belongs to all of us and we will not allow any group of hoodlums to willfully bastardize our
values and heritage. We remain committed to handing over
to our children “a banner without stain”. We hope the
security forces will actively carry out their constitutional
mandate and savethis democracy from collapse.

Signed:
1. His Excellency, Otunba Niyi Adebayo
2. His Excellency, Asiwaju Segun Oni
3. His Excellency, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

If these three predecessors had to team up against the incumbent governor, it means the people of Ekiti still have a lot of suffering in stock for them. They voted this man and so should try and adjust to his notoriety.

By the way, he's jonathan's chief propagandist so I doubt if the security agencies will be able to tame his madness anytime soon except Jonathan is booted out of office.

This seems like a gang-up, and propaganda orchestrated to paint Fayose black... any statement made by the defeated ex-governor should be taken with 2pinches of salt, he cannot be neutral since he and his party have a lot to gain by using this unfortunate incident for cheap political gain. Just like Babatunde Fashola, after a life was lost in the Lekki Robbery incident, still managed to use it to smear the opposition party and score political points.

These defeated politicians, always throwing tantrums. Fayose is loved by Ekiti people. No amount of slanderous press releases will change anything. Fayemi should allow himself to be schooled on how to win elections.

Four years is not forever.
It's a matter of time. What goes round must one day comes round.

Better tell them now.

Peter Ayodele Fayose is not the messiah that will transform Ekiti from the look of things. This man is a scam of the century and I can bet my money with the way things are going in the state,he will not supersede the achievement of the previous government. Previous government has given him the tools to work like renovation of Ikogosi warm spring,newly constructed pavilion,introduction of ePayment in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH), Ekiti State Board of Internal Revenue,reconstruction of Ado township roads and other suburb. Instead of Fayose to sit down and think on how to make good use of these achievements to plan the way forward for the state,he's busy acting as Pdp attacking Dog. A governor that was asked on how to improve state IGR to facilitate the payment of the state debt but couldn't provide a better answer than saying the debt would be fully paid 2years after his tenure (year 2020) A government that always sees buying of Alum and diesel to provide water and power street light as a big task. Someone need to tell Fayose the truth to buckle up,and tell him to stop deceiving himself from the love he previously enjoyed from the people. If he continue like this,I'm afraid he might end in oblivion.
