The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of allegedly funding the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and his organisation (IPOB), to distabilise Nigeria for the actualisation of the Republic of Biafra.

The party said the governor's counsel in his press release at the weekend urging dialogue in the resolution of the Biafran crisis is an afterthought after the Nigerian Army swung into action to perform their constitutional role of preserving the unity of Nigeria and bringing all secessionists and their backers to justice.

Fayose had at the weekend urged the Federal Government to embrace dialogue in the resolution of the Biafran agitation after the Nigerian Military had declared IPOB a terrorist organisation.

In a statement by Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the party dismissed Fayose's counsel as afterthought, stressing that the governor's actions and utterances had shown that he was "solidly behind any activity that will bring Nigeria down".

He said: "On April 26 and as published by The Nigerian Tribune Newspaper and its Tribuneonline publication on April 27, 2017, Fayose said he was working in conjunction with Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to raise funds for Kanu, stressing that he was taking his support for Kanu beyond showing solidarity in court by raising funds that would be deposited in an account opened in Kanu’s name."

Quoting Fayose as saying that "as many lawyers willing to fight the oppression should join the struggle for liberation from the oppression", Olatunbosun said Fayose was not new to seditious and treasonable activities to bring Nigeria down.

He explained: "He led a campaign to the Chinese Embassy in Abuja and later to Shanghai, the Chinese capital, to urge the Chinese government not to lend hands in helping Nigeria out of recession.

"Relentlessly, he led hate campaigns against the symbol of the Nigerian authority, President Muhammadu Buhari, wishing him dead, including hounding and haunting the President across the world, including on his sick bed, and threatening to expose the President on a life-support machine, all these in spite of swearing to uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to be loyal to the Nigerian state and her President.

"He went further as reported in the media on May 25, 2017 that 'Ekiti State is now part of Biafra', which drew the ire of several Yoruba groups as reported in the media.

"Not done, while Nigerians and indeed the country's leaders were celebrating Nigeria's exit from recession, Fayose was the only governor across the country who dismissed the celebration as a ruse, maintaining that Nigeria was still in a deep economic mess even though in his state, he is the biggest stumbling block to the survival of Ekiti people by diverting all loans he took to pay workers salary to needless projects contracts awarded to his friends' companies in which he allegedly has interest."

Olatunbosun added that Fayose demonstrated the seriousness of his support for the collapse of Nigeria when he released his telephone number 070300000393 and email:mystory2006@yahoo.com as reported in the media on April 27, 2017, urging all that were interested in the Biafra cause to contact him through the phone number and email address.

He also quoted Fayose as saying: “We are just driving the cause. As soon as we receive his account details, we will be made available.

"People have the right to agitate for independence. Even in traditional institution, people agitate for autonomy.

“As many as lawyers willing to fight the oppression should join the struggle for liberation from the oppression.”

Olatunbosun pointed out that while all the governors in the South East, including notable leaders, such as Ohanaeze leaders, Senate Deputy President Ekeremadu, among others, were condemning Kanu for his distabiliation activities, it was Fayose alone that was giving him moral and financial support.

"All the South East governors, including the Deputy Senate President Ike Ikeremadu, have opposed Kanu in his secessionist activities while Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has warned Kanu and IPOB to stay away from Rivers but Fayose declared Ekiti State as part of Biafra and that has confirmed the report that he is part of Biafra's financiers as he had publicly declared to the media.

"No wonder, just four months after Fayose started mobilising funds for Biafra, thousands of deadly weapons, including military assault rifles, were smuggled into the country but were intercepted by the Nigerian Customs while it was also discovered that uniformed Biafran militants already have military training camps where they are planning deadly assaults against Nigeria after threatening her leaders.

"We had earlier alerted the security agencies to the presence of armed gangs and stockpiling of arms in the Ekiti State Government House and his present activities in raising funds for Kanu only confirm that he is part of rebellion against the Nigerian state.

"We have always insisted that Fayose is a threat to the Nigeria's unity and the economic survival of her people," he explained.

Urging the security agencies and Interpol to investigate Fayose in his support for funding IPOB with "the latest influx of military assault rifles into the country", Olatunbosun said:

"His support for Kanu in funds mobilisation for his treasonable act and the activities of Fayose's media men in promoting the Biafran cause only point to one agenda to distabilise Nigeria and that has proved us right that Fayose has no agenda than the destabilisation of Nigeria to enable him escape all illegal and criminal activities linked to him in recent past."

Shatap

Bubu be waiting for Fayose to complete his term next year like.... See as we don forget Dasuki. Him own go bad pass Dasuki own.

This Olatubosun is a very prematured thinker. No wonder Nigeria is moving backwards. Simply because Fayose refused to be a zombie like him, simply because he is quite outspoken whenever Buhari is misbehaving,
as long as the APC Buhari is not willing to correct his nepotism government, until they govern the entire country in the principle of equity and fair play, they will end up creating more of such Biafra movement all over the country.

Even after reading this :

He said: "On April 26 and as published by The Nigerian Tribune Newspaper and its Tribuneonline publication on April 27, 2017, Fayose said he was working in conjunction with Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to raise funds for Kanu, stressing that he was taking his support for Kanu beyond showing solidarity in court by raising funds that would be deposited in an account opened in Kanu’s name.

And other quotes from Fayose, they still think it is a lie.

Omenka? trying so hard to rewrite news.

Here's the details of the news link that you posted where you alleged that Fayose sponsor/funding IPOB whereas Fayose only solicit for funds to help KANU meets his needs to pay lawyers & meet his family needs. Please point to where Fayose solicit for funds to sponsor IPOB movements.

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday, revealed plans to raise support fund for the leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The governor had on Tuesday stormed an Abuja's Federal High Court in solidarity with Kanu. Fayose said his support for Kanu was beyond showing solidarity with him in court.
“I’m trying to work with other well- meaning Nigerians to raise funds for Kanu so that he can fund his lawyers and meet his immediate family needs.
“We are going to ensure that the injustice meted out to him does not destroy him.
“He has parents, wife and children to take care of. I appeal to Nigerians to support this just cause.”
Fayose, who is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governor’s Forum, called on lawyers to join the struggle for his liberation.
“As many lawyers as are willing to fight the oppression, should join the struggle for liberation from the oppression. Fayose confirmed that Ekwemeradu would be part of the coordinators to
steer the fund raising committee. The account would be raised in Kanu’s name and will belong to him.
“We are just driving the cause. As soon as we receive his account details, it will be made available. The money will be used for him and others in incarceration with him.
“We believe in coexistence of Nigeria. People have the right to agitate for independence. Even in traditional
institution, people agitate for autonomy.
“When people agitate and they cannot get it, they drop the idea. It is not for you to silence them. That is oppression.
Agitation is legitimate.”“As many as lawyers willing to fight the oppression should join the struggle for liberation from the oppression. Fayose confirmed that Ekwemeradu would be part of the coordinators to
steer the fund raising committee

Confused senseless apc government.

The apc government ruins nigeria because of their cluelessness.

BankeSmalls:

Arrest who? Governor? Don't mind them...APC as it is called and as ordinary political party does not has any right to arrest a sitting elected Governor until he leaves d office. Meanwhile they have no critical evidence to back their accusation(s) up, they are just imaging/guessing. D only thing he/u should b afraid of(base on EFCC), is his faith after his tenure if eventually PDP did not take over again in 2019.

And if he chooses to fund people agitating for freedom, so what? Maybe he should donate his life savings to fulani terrorists from Libya. Ndi ala

1nigeriamyfoot:

You are right bro

Suddenly those highly regarded apc politicians just turned clueless when they got to power in abuja.

Obviously one nigeria is wrong.

1nigeriamyfoot:

cc Mynd44 Seun Lalasticlala & other good mods should see this boy insult.

I won't insult nairalander because I'm matured beyond that level & I won't stoop so low to that level.

Your name is Folykaze & not APC so why attack my person for a post meant for party & not your person?

And I or some members of nairaland are not APC members? I didnt mention your name anywhere either.

FOLYKAZE:


And I or some members of nairaland are not APC members? I didnt mention your name anywhere either.

But you insult my person without any insult to you?

Let me tell you the truth, I don't belong to any political party & when ruling party is not checkmated, there will be zero development. I don't know why people see criticism as threat!
If a ruling government is not criticised, they will never sit up.

Some northern governors were paying monthly protection money to Boko haram. Recently the kaduna chap gave fulani herdsmen some money. APC didn't see all that.
