•Protesters, security men block roads

•Banks, offices closed


The plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of Assembly to begin the process of impeachment of the state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, created a near total lockdown of the state, with protests and security presence crippling activities around the state.

On Tuesday morning, soldiers were on stop and search at the Post Office area of Ikere-Ekiti, while they also retained their presence in Itawure, in Efon Local Government Area, as well as the entry point to Ekiti State from Ikere.

There was also a roadblock mounted by protesters in Igede-Ekiti, while in Oye-Ekiti, the road leading to Ayede, Isan, Oloje and other communities and Kwara State, was also blocked by the protesters, who refused to clear the barricade when journalists requested that they do so.

Vehicles of travellers outside the state were gathering at the Oye roadblock while the angry youths made threats and asked every vehicle to depart.

Meanwhile, in Ado Ekiti, protest marches by different categories of people were witnessed with the protesters chanting against the APC lawmakers in the state.

The state House of Assembly complex remained locked with no activity, except for the heavy security presence provided by policemen and men of the Department of State Security.

Unconfirmed sources told the Nigerian Tribune at the House of Assembly road that some armed political thugs had a confrontation with the security operatives and that some of them were overpowered by the security agents and arrested.

A blue Toyota Hilux van with registration number AA 363 YEK, which had been driven into a ditch, and a demobilised Volkswagen Audi salon car, both at the CBN/Secretariat Road, the sources alleged, were vehicles allegedly brought by the thugs.

Aside Ado Ekiti, protests were also held in major towns like Efon Alaaye, Iworoko, Aisegba, Ikere, Ise, Ogotun Igbemo, against the attempt to boot Fayose out of office, thereby preventing human and vehicular movements for several hours, as all major roads leading to Ekiti were blocked.

Some SSS 3 students sitting for their school certificate examinations by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) outside the capital city could not get vehicles to convey them at the park.

Banks and other commercial concerns in the state were closed and businesses in various parts of the state remained paralysed.

In a related development, the state Head of Service, Dr Gbenga Faseluka and workers in the state, under the auspices of Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), besieged the assembly in protest and warned the lawmakers against plunging the state into violence.

The organised labour, in another statement signed by NLC secretary, Mr Ade Obatoye; TUC secretary, Mr Joseph Adebayo and the JNC secretary, Mr Oladele Ayodeji, enjoined the entire Ekiti workforce to see the present development as “a way of fomenting trouble in the state.”

Also, the people of Igbemo Ekiti, led by Chief Agamago Adetunji, had, during a solidarity visit to the governor, said “we are solidly behind you. Ekiti people elected you to be their leader and no power under the earth can remove you.

“We are praying for you and assuring you that you will win all the 26 assembly seats during Saturday’s polls.”

The deputy governor, Dr Kolapo Olusola, who responded on behalf of the governor, likened the APC lawmakers to the biblical war of Egypt against the people of Israel, while he expressed confidence that the governor would triumph over his enemies.

“This Egyptian war led by APC will be defeated. Governor Fayose did not elect himself, but you put him there. This is just a passage and it will go by the grace of God.

“I want to assure you that we will see no more of this war against an anointed man in few days’ time,” the deputy governor boasted.

he said.

Fayose can’t escape impeachment —Lawmakers

As the crisis between Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State and the 19 All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers festers, the latter, on Tuesday, in Osogbo, Osun State, said no amount of intimidation and threat from the governor can stop his impending impeachment by the legislature.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday evening in Osogbo, Osun State capital, the majority leader of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Honourable Churchill Adedipe ,said the legislature would pursue the impeachment of the governor to a logical conclusion.

Adedipe, who was flanked by the Speaker of the assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin and other members of G-19 lawmakers, lamented that their move to gain entry into Ekiti on Tuesday was thwarted by military personnel, who, he alleged, took order from the Brigade Commander, 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, General Aliyu Momoh.

According to him, the speaker, Dr Ominrin and other APC lawmakers had already fixed their sitting for Tuesday to continue investigation into allegations of constitutional breaches levelled against Governor Fayose.

Adedipe explained that the vehicle conveying the lawmakers was, however, prevented from entering Ekiti at Itawure, a town about 40 minutes drive to Ado Ekiti, by heavily armed soldiers.

He lamented that “for over two hours, the soldiers prevented us from proceeding to Ado Ekiti,” adding that information reaching some of them from Ado Ekiti indicated that the premises of the assembly had been flooded with thugs.

Adedipe added that “before we decided to move to Ado Ekiti, we wrote a letter to the Commissioner of Police that we were coming to Ado. The treatment meted to us today was actually uncalled for. It is absurd.

“We the 19 lawmakers are saying that you can only delay the cause of justice, you cannot run away from it.

“We are going to ensure the logical conclusion of what we have started. We are calling on Nigerians and Ekiti people to support us and save us from undue attack from Fayose. We would not be deterred.”

Call APC members in Ekiti to order, Adeyeye tells Buhari

MINISTER of State for Works, Mr Dayo Adeyeye, has called on the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, to call All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Ekiti State to order, before they truncate democracy in the country.

The minister, who described the APC desperation to seize power in Ekiti State through the backdoor as a dangerous trend, added that the APC members in the Ekiti State House of Assembly were capitalising on Buhari’s victory to cause crisis in the state.

He said the APC should stop behaving like party of bad losers.

“In 1999, Professor Tunde Adeniran of the PDP lost to

Chief Niyi Adebayo, Adeniran congratulated the winner. He did not go to court.

“It was in 2003 that Adebayo lost to Governor Ayodele Fayose that they went to the tribunal.

“Also, when Chief Segun Oni won election in 2007, these same APC people made Ekiti ungovernable for him.

“In 2011 when Fayose contested senatorial election and lost to Senator Babafemi Ojudu, he did not go to court. None of the PDP National Assembly candidates that lost in 2011 went to court.

“Since they lost the governorship to the PDP nine months ago, they have refused to accept defeat. It was as a result of this desperation to steal Ekiti people’s mandate that Chief Omolafe Aderiye was killed.

“Today again, they killed Modupe Olaya in Efon-Alaaye and one wonders why these APC people derive joy in shedding blood of innocent Ekiti sons and daughters.

“Why must there be crisis in Ekiti each time the APC elements lose power to the PDP?

“General Buhari must not let these desperate APC members in Ekiti State drag his name and reputation in the mud by using his name to cause chaos,” he said.

Security men take over routes to Ekiti secretariat, assembly

ARMED security men, on Tuesday, barricaded all roads leading to the Ekiti State secretariat, the building that houses the state House of Assembly.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that civil servants could not get to their offices as they were turned back by the security men.

The workers returned home as they could not confront the combined force of armed policemen and personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The secretariat complex was blocked by armoured tank and other security patrol vehicles.

An Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Funsho Adegboye, led a team of security men that took over the secretariat and the House of Assembly complex.

Adegboye advised a group of protesters that converged at the legislative building to return home until peace returned to the state.

He told the labour leaders to caution their members so that the purported peaceful protest would not be hijacked by miscreants.

The Assistant Secretary-General of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mr Femi Adebo, said members of the union were only out to stage a peaceful protest in support of the present administration.

“Governor Fayose assumed office less than six months ago and we, the civil servants in the state, have not seen anything wrong that could warrant his impeachment.

“Our peaceful protest this morning is to tell the whole world that all those rumours against Fayose are not true.

“The politicians must not incite the state civil servants against the government, they must allow peace to reign in Ekiti,” Adebo said.

The State Head of Service, Dr Gbenga Faseluka, had, before the rally, urged them to ensure that the protest was peaceful.

#1 and 2 are just the products and lack of proper up bringing; still they aren't as bad as that of #3 . That woman ought to be have been tranquilized on sight, and taken straight to the closest psych ward, cos imagine that # of lbs/kg on that head?. Its simply abnormal.


Just realized.....You quoted me..

I like your sense of judgment...


Although, as for your surprise!

TheGoodJoe:

Our transfer Market policy killed us. I believe Iheanacho would have been an ideal replacement for Yaya Toure if he was given the chance. How come Pellegrini and co. did not fight for Nacho's work permit. They did not even apply. Instead, they sent him to America to train under an MLS team. They signed Lampard who was nothing but a squad player.

Why spend so much on Mangala when we had Rekik who was doing well on loan for PSV. Then Mangala ended up on the bench.

The Mangala money would have gotten Brahimi or Hector Herrera. The transfers did not help the team. And, those guys gave contract extensions to players over 30 yrs.

Unfortunately, this is what we experience oh...


Only if he was a white dude...

Coogar na you hold phone?


Which kan camera phone be that? Palasa!

RaeMystix:
#3 must have mental issues

Honestly is that real?


What about #1?

TheGoodJoe:

That idea is gone. I just hope Pellegrini can pick up from the Manchester Derby and give us a seven game winning streak. But, we have dropped so much points that it seems like a pipe dream.

My broda... Nations Cup actually affected Man City...Since Yaya left everything crumbled...

He should as well shun the idea of winning the EPL...

Did you say that about the two Michaels who hacked a British soldier to death

General Overseer, Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has warned the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to be cautious about appointing those who are to constitute his government.

tunde-bakareBakare, made this statement at the 26th anniversary of his church, tagged, ‘Democracy audit: chances, choices and consequences.”, stressing that the wasted years in Nigeria can only be restored if Buhari surrounds himself with men and women of goodwill, great intellectual capacity, competence and character.

He further advised Buhari to start the fight against corruption from his circle and lay a good example, saying change cannot be achieved if these were not done.

“I pray sincerely that not all those who facilitated his winning the election will be among those who run the government. I did say before the election that I trust the person of General Buhari but not all those around him.

“I mean every word of it because many of them are nothing but Ali Baba and 40 thieves. And if these are the same who would go into government, you can’t fight evil with evil. You can as well kiss the anti-corruption stance of Mr. President-elect goodbye.” He explained.

Bakare prayed for Buhari to have the needed wisdom and strength, noting that people were already submitting applications to him to serve in the incoming administration.

“The vultures are now going round and round. If he does not have quality people around him, then they will put round pegs in square holes and within two years, we are back to square one.”

In addition, the cleric commended the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega for his leadership despite in the face of grave accusation and provocation by critics.

He also praised President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat timely, and stated that the president had written his name in gold just with that remarkable democratic act.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA...

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike says he and his Fenerbahce teammates were left in shock after their team bus was shot at by a gunman on Saturday night in Turkey.

The Turkish league leaders were travelling to Trabzon airport to fly back to Istanbul, following their 5-1 victory over Rizespor, when the shooting happened. Emmanuel Emenike The driver was taken to hospital, but no players were injured in the attack which Emenike described as a ‘scary moment’.

“The incident left several players in shock on a day we should be celebrating a big away win,” Emenike told BBC Sport. “I was on the phone with my brother when I heard the loud sound and I thought one of our tyres had busted because the bus was swerving on the road.

“But when I found our security officer in front of the bus I knew something must have gone awfully wrong.” The 27 year old Emenike says it was not long before they realised someone had been hurt. “We quickly realised the security guy was the one who hit the break, and he said the driver [who was already soaked in blood] had been shot.

“The word ‘shot’ came as a big shock but when we saw blood and the shattered driver’s side window, it quickly turned into a scary moment for everyone on the bus.” Fenerbahce have since called for the Turkish Super Lig to be suspended following the attack. Emenike and his team-mates have been left stunned by what happened.

“It’s unbelievable that some people actually fired shots at our bus and the driver was badly hit, a bus conveying footballers and officials. “It’s strange, but it’s also an indication that things happen in life and no one can be guaranteed complete safety. “I just want to wish our brave driver a speedy recovery.

I will forever be grateful to him and our security man because that bus could have plunged down the bridge. “The outcome could have been terrible and tragic but we are all here today because of them and of course God was on our side. For Emenike, the shooting was particularly shocking as it brought back bad memories. “I’ve been involved in a terrible accident in Nigeria before, where my mother suffered severe bruises, and for a moment I had a terrible flashback when that bus was swerving all over the road. “I hope this incident will be investigated thoroughly and the perpetrators are made to face the justice system. Emenike, who has endured a turbulent period in Turkish football since he re-joined Fenerbahce in 2013, demanded to be substituted after he was booed by his own fans during their 1-0 home win over rivals Besiktas two weeks ago.

The Nigeria international has only scored four goals in 23 league appearances this season but insists this latest incident will not force him to quit the Istanbul-based club. “I have a contract here and I love the club,” he added. “It’s only an isolated incident and not enough to make me look for an easy way out.

“I have put the past behind me and I am only focussing on what lies ahead. I am stronger now than before and right now I just want to wish our bus driver a speedy recovery.” Fenerbahce, who have former Premier League players Dirk Kuyt, Raul Meireles and Emre Belozoglu in their side, are the defending champions and have won the major domestic competition 19 times. The Istanbul-based team went top of the table with their victory on Saturday, one point ahead of bitter rivals Galatasaray.
