Indications have emerged that Governor Ayo Fayose is poised to elongate his tenure beyond the terminal date in 2018. The Governor who himself recently made this known publicly, has approved the disbursement of the sum 4 billion naira to secure the extension of his tenure and perpetuate himself in office.

The governor, who claimed his tenure was cut short by seven months with his impeachment in 2006, has publicly announced his determination to seek legal redress in court.

Vigil360 reliably gathered that the Governor is currently reaching out to influential citizens of the state in Ado-Ekiti, Abuja and Lagos, while equally targeting a section of the media to give him the necessary support.

Most of his targets including the media are being wooed with cash, as several top law chambers in Lagos, Abuja, and Akure are jostling to handle the case. Already, the Governor has enlisted 13 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) on his legal team, as huge chunk of the cash has been earmarked to lobby judges and other influence agents in the judiciary.

The Governor is equally reaching out to traditional rulers, key labour leaders, market women, transport unions, street urchins and less politically aware residents of the state, with the intention of using chaos, intimidation and outright blackmail to bamboozle his way and achieve his aim of staying in office beyond his terminal date in 2018.

It will be recalled that Governor Ayodele Fayose was impeached on 15th October, 2006 by 24 out of 26 lawmakers of the Ekiti State House of Assembly on corruption charges. He was accused and found guilty of embezzling state funds, particularly the Ekiti State Poultry Project fund, which he diverted and laundered through foreign accounts domiciled at Knightsbridge International Banking Center of Barclays Bank in London, and Citi Bank in the United States.

His alleged complicity in the murder of PDP Chieftain, Ayo Daramola, whom Fayose considered a major threat to his re-election back then, also contributed to his removal.

However, the recent launch of the Oshoko Mass Movement (OMM) in Ikere-Ekiti, a pro-Fayose political movement, is part of the grand strategy to solicit the support of gullible young men and women of the state to rally support for the governor’s tenure elongation bid.

However, insider sources at the Ekiti State Government House are concerned that Governor Fayose’s unquenchable taste for power may throw the entire state into a constitutional crisis, a situation which could lead to the declaration of another State of Emergency, the second in ten years.

cool

probably won't

I thought there's no money in governance which is why he's still owing salary...

So he can earmark 40B but difficult to offset salaries? Hypocrisy...

The fear of KUJE prison is the beginning of seeking of interpretation of the law , FAYOSE You like it or not you tenure is ending 2018

And so what? If he wants to turn to Mugabe, no my business. The thing i want to ask is, why is he quite now that APDA party has just surfaced.

He's only exercising his civil right.... Let him use it and we solidly behind him

he suddenly discovered that 4 years is too short, he tot he is going to have immunity for life, he should pray to even complete dis tenior sef.

4billion and salaries are being owed.

Just read elsewhere that he has ran to ekiti radio station to announce that d expected second tranche of Paris club funds won't be enough to pay salary. Is that fund part of d 4bn?

Oshoko baba, how many times did I call u

All will be in vain.
You will extend the tenure in prison. You chewed more than you can bite. Immunity closed by 2018. Get ready

I still pity Ekiti ppl because they easily collect peanut at their own peril, no wonder he has decorated Ikere road with "fayose continuity 2018" but is unfortunate he doesn't know he can't take oath of office thrice

he keeps calling on buhari's resignation but himself wants to die on seat .
....wat a hypocrite ?
see 4 billion dat can better d lives of Ekiti ppl



fear of going to jail . but u can't escape it

Don't mind Ekiti people, they prefer stomach infrastructure
