Fayose for crying out loud you are not the only governor in SW. Well, if you have the ball make attempt to travel out whether Ekiti civil servant won't turn to DSS and drag you on the floor. Oniranu gomina

oluwafemtos:
I know he can't do such to obasanjo... Buhari is too gentle that's y and it's Jonathan administration that gave citizens freedom of speech. That's y, mumu governor

kingsfield:
Thought u mentioned Ekiti state earlier?

wirinet:


You people are hypocrites, where was freedom of movement, immunity, checks and balance when president Jonathan was restricting governors from entering Ekiti state on the eve of fayose's election, where was fundamental human rights when governors aircrafts were refused landing rights to land in Nigerian airports. Fayose PDP and their supporters were enjoying the show then and screaming GEJ till 2019. Now what goes around comes around and they are forming emergency human rights activists.

APC Governors Barred From Traveling To Ekiti For Campaign Rally

Nigerian opposition governor was detained on Thursday by security forces on his way to campaign in the southwest Ekiti state before a local election this weekend, an official said. Rotimi Amaechi, one of seven governors to defect last year from President Goodluck Jonathan's ruling party to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), was detained in neighbouring Ondo state while making his way to his airplane.

"He was stopped ... by military personnel who surrounded his convoy and said they had superior orders from above to not let him depart from that location or continue his journey," Ibim Seminitari, information commissioner for Amaechi's Rivers state told Reuters. The airplane had been impounded, she said. "He is still at that location as I speak to you," she said
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday by APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said at least three governors – Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano – have so far been prevented from making the trip.



It said the helicopter that was to ferry Governor Oshiomhole from Benin to Ado-Ekiti was refused permission to take off from the Benin Airport, while the plane that was flying Governor Kwankwanso to Akure was denied permission to land.

Impunity whether under GEJ or under PMB is impunity and all right thinking persons must oppose it through legal and other non-violent means.
Its Fayose being restricted today; if everyone keeps quiet, it could be you tommorrow (circumstances can change overnight, ask Diya the number 2 man under Abacha) or it could progress to unlawful detentions of the opposition.

the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar has placed an order restricting movements within the boundaries of Ekiti State with effect from 6pm on Thursday (yesterday) June 19, 2014 to 6am of Sunday June 22, 2014.

ganisucks:
I love Fayose. He is a real man. NO MALE on Nairaland is half the man he is.

wirinet:


Can you please state the relevant sections of the constitution that empowers the IG to place restrictions on movements within the boundaries of a state.
In that case Solomon Arase can place restrictions within the boundaries of Fayose's residence, preventing him from leaving his house. I hope you guys will not start screaming "buhari is a dictator then"

wunmi590:

.......I thought we have a government of CHANGE, please correct me if I'm wrong.

wirinet:


You are not objective at all. You are supporting Jonathan's impunity but condemning buhari's. Jonathan used the army to prevent APC governors from attending a rally on a Thursday before an election and you are asking what they were going to do. Was that the only election rally the governors have attended prior to a governorship election? You are even trying to justify the illegality by saying IG closed the border from Thursday to sunday. You mean no one could pass through ekiti for 4 days.

What is wrong is wrong. A police IG has no power to lock down a state when there is a sitting governor.

Must this man talk all the time?

If most of you have nothing meaningful to contribute anymore, you divert to the word 'change'. Did GEJ do all that or not?

OpinionCounts:


Watch your grammar mr. meaningful contributor...it should be "when most of you" and not "if most of you". Back to the issue, are you saying APCs claim of change was all a scam? Just a very simple and harmless question. Awaiting your response, and dont forget to watch your grammar.

Unblockable:


First, it shouldn't be APCs claim but APC's claim. And don't not don't mr righter. You haven't contributed anything meaningful to this topic order than blabbing. Forget about the word 'change' and tell us if what Jonathan did was right or wrong.

OpinionCounts:


Forget about the word change , That word is the only reason Buhari is occupying Aso rock. Now son, try to learn how to take correction without insulting your teacher, were you not taught good manners as a kid??

Unblockable:


I'm sure you're already dozing off. You may now go to bed son!

OpinionCounts:

haha...gudnite sir.

amaechi1:


That includes you if you are a man. If he is the one let him try to travel.
