Fayose seals Ekiti Speaker’s filling station

The confrontation between the Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the State House of Assembly is gathering momentum.

The Ekiti State Government on Tuesday sealed off four filling stations in Ado-Ekiti including T. Five Integrated Service Filling Station belonging to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dr. Adewale Omirin.

According to a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ayodele Fayose, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, the step was taken to prevent unimaginable fire accident with attendant fatalities.

“The owners of the affected petrol stations are to report to the Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Urban Development with letters of approval,” the statement said.

Reacting to the closure on Wednesday, the Speaker alleged that the Governor ordered the closure in order to intimidate and coerce him.

Omirin, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress, and Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party are believed to be at loggerheads.

The Speaker in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media) Wole Olujobi, vowed not to “buckle under undue political pressure to abandon his party for the Peoples Democratic Party for selfish and pecuniary motives.”

Omirin claimed he fulfilled all necessary environmental laws in the location of the filling station and got necessary approval, wondering ‎why the governor would start victimising those who do not share his political belief.

The statement quoted the Speaker as saying that another Assembly member,  Joseph Dele Olugbemi, ‎had told him two days after Fayose’s inauguration that he (the governor) had made up his mind to close his filling station over refusal to join PDP.

Olugbemi was among the six APC members that defected to PDP on the day of the inauguration.

Omirin had earlier promised the governor that the House of Assembly would work with him in the interest of Ekiti people, to deliver dividends of democracy.

“I called the governor to confirm what the honourable member told me about the plan to close my filling station. The governor denied any of such plan, swearing that he would not victimise any opponent.

“But only yesterday the governor ordered the closure of the filling station, citing environmental factor,” the Speaker explained.

‎Omirin said he had a background of political fidelity anchored on progressive democratic practice and so would not abandon principle in pursuit of selfish agenda diametrically opposed to the ethos of his political belief.

According to him, the present atmosphere in the state does not call for high-handedness and persecution against perceived opponents, but a collective pursuit of common goals to deliver good governance to Ekiti people.

He warned that attacks on the opponents, particularly the lawmakers, will only smear the relationship between the Executive and Legislature.

But Fayose’s media aide denied that the decision to seal off the Speaker’s filling station and others had any political undertone.

In a telephone chat with our correspondent, Adelusi maintained that, “Those filling stations sealed off by the Ministry of Physical and Urban Planning were because they contravened environmental laws.

“They are sited within residential areas. They are not supposed to be within the residential areas.

“They are not the only filling stations in the state capital. If they didn’t comply with the environmental laws, the law should take its course. It has no political undertone.

“Four filling stations were sealed off but it is an ongoing thing. The exercise will take place through out the state. It is to sanitise the state and prevent fire outbreak.”

Meanwhile, the Governor has approved the appointment of Mr. Samuel Adeyemi ( Shakila) as the Chairman, Ekiti State Petroleum Products Consumer Protection Agency.

The appointment takes immediate effect.

In another development, Fayose will Thursday swear in Justice Emmanuel Omotoso as judge of the Ekiti State High Court.

Can 800k fly this hilux?

theoctopus:
That is APC lies. All the current indicators does show that GEJ has performed very well. It is only in APC reports that GEJ has failed. From the Rail to Aviation, Agriculture, to power to Education to the overall economy, all the indicators says GEJ has done well. Even the very enthronement of true democracy through free and fair elections shows GEJ has done very well. Sorry.

What has he done? Did u hear that PDP has summoned the Minister of Works because of the impassible state of roads in Nigeria? Do u know the huge amount of money being claimed to av been spent on these roads without results? Yet the same Minister was given an Award by the President at our 54th Independence Anniversary celebrations. Look at the road that leads to A papa where the chunk of national income is being generated. What of the road that leads to the MMA (Airport).

Do u know that Federal Govt alone takes about 54% of the total allocation while the 36 states share about 42%.

My brother, statistics are there for u to confirm.

Are u happy with the way Nigeria is being disgraced in South Africa for laundering dollars? Pls let's forget about politics and review our status. Are we better off under him or worse off? That should be our question.

ratiken:
Sometimes I get really confused. Please can someone Explicitly outline Fashola's 5 main achievements in Lagos state in 7.5yrs.

Quote me only if you've got a response to my question.

Tell us just two things President Jona has achieved in Nigeria since he became our president first and I will tell u more than 500 things Gov Fashola has done in Lagos state.

Sincere9gerian:
All the drama you read in the press is just out of respect for the age of OBJ and to give him false impression of importance. OBJ lost his polling unit in 2011 elections and currently has ZERO electoral value.

Then why are they begging him?

That means gov Fayemi has not paid any salary since he started running the affairs of the state because I know for sure that on the average, our monthly allocation is N1.3bn, so if they are saying he embezzled N20bn, that means after stealing in Ekiti, he must have stolen other states' allocations.

I think people should think b4 they write. Anyway, I wish them best of luck.

How much

Can it go for #1.2m

phemmy88: Ayo Fayose is a good man ...loved by many...especially the youths and government workers. its very clear that the judge is taking sides .....and the youth will not allow that. This has nothing to do with Fayose's personality or his political party.

Yes, I agree that we all love him BUT should we because of that subvert justice? Was he not impeached? They should allow the Court verify and reconcile it with the provisions of the constitution.

Akanbiedu: I hear this case has to do with eligibility of Fayose. Can somebody please confirm?

My brother,, u r 100% correct. Was Fayose not impeached for financial recklessness? Is he now above the law? Pls go and read what the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria says concerning eligibility of a person vying for the post of a governor.

Why were they disrupting court sitting? They should allow the law to take its court.

If Fayemi was the one at the receiving end, Jonathan would have sent Obanikoro to mobilize soldiers down to Ado Ekiti three days b4 now.

I think we in Ekiti are educated to know that if the judgement isn't favourable to either of the sides, the issue can still to as far as Supreme court.

My brother, Corolla, Highlander and Rav 4 actually dominate Nigerian Market. For Freezers, get Liber and some other good ones. For washing Machines, buy uploaded machines with especially manual ones.

Where are its pictures?

Yes, Yes and Yes with a little adjustment. I intended to marry someone else b4 we got hooked by circumstance but now, my life would have been miserable without her. I lost my job few years back but you won't notice any difference from when I was working and now. She is God sent.

The only adjustment I may ask God for is in the area of sex. Her sexual drive is low as such I get starved most times. I av stayed for 3 months without sex with my wife. I used to av girlfriends but because of her kindness and submission, I av decided to do away with the practice even though I av 'toasters' around me. We have discussed this several times but at the point of execution of our resolution, I get to hear; "I am tired" "I am not in the mood", "wait till tomorrow" , " go and adjust" e.t.c. so I am still managing the situation which I pray God will handle it for me.

In all, she is a wife in millions.

The issue of married men having girlfriends is mostly caused by their wives. There are a lot of things that are responsible for this. But the major one is sex. As a man, u find out that a lady that dare not turn u down when u were going out now decides for d two of u when to have sex. For me, I have done without sex for more than two months because my wife is not sex freak. I have been receiving responses like " go and adjust", " I am tired" or " I am not in the mood". I resorted into having girlfriends b4 which she frowned at but now, I am closer to God coupled with the fact that my biz is down, so no money to do such things again.

So u find out that women really need to understand their husbands sexual capacity.

Secondly, if u always complain abt everything at home, ur hubby may excuse u by staying outside late and come at the wee hours in order to avoid ur "wahala".

I am surprise that this does not make front page headlines. If it is against APC now, it would have been conspicuously displayed on the front page.

Please, reflect it on front page.

Call one BUKOLA on 08023272331. Is the car carrying a new plate or the old type? If it is the old plate, it is easier. U can get the new plate almost immediately but if it is carrying a new plate, it will cost u more money and it takes more time.

Pls call the above number for more clarification and patronage.

Lawless country

snazzylove: I wash only his inner wears and datz it. Anyother cloth apart from these goes 2 d laundry house. But if he decides 2 wash by himself, no prob I will help him fix d water and get detergent .
I already have loads of work on my hands.

Since u think u av too much to handle, don't u equally think that ur man needs a second wife to reduce ur load of responsibilities. Will that solve the problem?

I am now beginning to know why the rise in divorce cases.

andromida: If she wants to i guess its O.K.

My sister, it is not a matter of if she wants. It is her responsibility. If she likes, she may cede it to a washer man.

Just passing
