The Hausa Community in Ekiti State has denied
ever indicting Governor Ayodele Fayose of
allegedly clamping down on them and
crippling their businesses in the State for not
voting for President Goodluck Jonathan during the
March 28 presidential poll.

In a statement signed by its leader , Alhaji Musa
Kanga and Secretary, Alhaji Babangida Umar in
Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, they said banning
of indiscriminate display of wares, particularly on
highways, by the government should not be
linked to politics.

The body dissociated itself from the rumour ,
saying it was targeted at creating friction between
the government and the Arewa people who have
co-existed in a mutual manner since Fayose
came on board last year.

The body was reacting to the rumour flying
around that the banning of products from being
displayed on Fajuyi- Adebayo-Opopogbooro road
, a place dominated by Hausa traders by the State
government, was a vendetta against Hausa
people for voting Major Gen Muhammadu
Buhari during the poll.

The body said : “Anybody, irrespective of tribe or
State of origin contravening environmental law
should be sanctioned according to the law.

“That the government decided to act to prevent
violation of the law , such should not be linked to
politics or be perceived to translate to a
clampdown on Hausas for not voting President
Jonathan during the presidential poll.

“Election has come and gone and the governor
must be allowed peace of mind to govern the
State properly”, it said.
