The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has expressed outrage over attacks on Nigerian judges by Governor Ayodele Fayose, saying the governor’s action represented “a paradoxical assault by a man who holds the judiciary in contempt even though he is also the greatest beneficiary of assault on the same purportedly corrupt judiciary in his political career”.
Fayose had last week accused Nigerian judges of corruption, saying some of them were in the habit of begging to be appointed as election tribunals chairmen in order to extort money from politicians.
The governor spoke at the opening of the Nigeria Legal Year organised by the Ekiti State Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) in Ado-Ekiti.
In what seemed a sustained attack on the judiciary, the governor also accused the Akwa Ibom and Rivers states election tribunal judges of corruption in their judgments nullifying the elections of Governors Emmanuel Udom and Nyesom Wike, saying that they succumbed to the federal might to nullify PDP’s victories in favour of President Muhhamadu Buhari’s APC.
The party also expressed support for raising a Board of Inquiry (BOI) by the Nigerian Army to investigate the roles of its men during the June 21, 2014 elections which saw Fayose’s emergence as Ekiti State governor.
It said the initiative would reveal the travesty of justice championed by the Nigerian Army in cahoots with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) leaders to commit treason in the illegal change of political leadership in Ekiti State.
The Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in statement in Ado-Ekiti that it was an irony that Fayose, “who is a beneficiary of lawless and anti-democratic conduct and a principal participant in the ignoble plot to spit on the Nigerian Constitution and who should be cooling his heels in jail” should be the one accusing the judiciary of corruption.
“We never knew that Fayose would be the one accusing anyone of using the federal might to an electoral advantage.
“Where is Fayose’s conscience taking into consideration the impunity with which the Nigerian Army officers and men were used by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration to intimidate the opponents to enable Fayose win the June 21, 2014 Governorship election in Ekiti State?
“It is baffling that the same Fayose is the one now accusing without proof that Buhari is using the federal might to manipulate the judges to cancel the Rivers and Akwa Ibom elections, which all Nigerians and the world condemned as the worst in the history of the nation.
“It is regrettable that Fayose is always having his jokes on the judiciary that decent Nigerian leaders built to serve as a sacred sanctuary of justice, but which Fayose has turned to a lap dog that he can whip at his pleasure.
“He invaded the court with his thugs to beat a judge black and blue, tore his coat and stormed the Chief Judge’s office, broke the door and tore court records there while the Chief Judge’s secretary was mercilessly beaten.
“He created various obstacles to slow down his prosecution in the N1.3b poultry project fraud trial by the EFCC and orchestrated closure of the courts for a long time to prevent hearing on his perjury case to pervert the course of justice. But we wish to remind Fayose that these various assaults on the judiciary are worse than corruption,” Olatunbosun explained.
The party noted that a probe of Ekiti election scandal would reveal the roles of the military officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army in their manipulative and unlawful acts in the 2014 contentious governorship election to change a lawful government illegally.
“Nigerians and indeed the international community are interested in how other dramatis personae whose voices were heard in the audio tape secretly recorded by an Army Intelligence Officer, Captain Sagir Koli, will be made to account for their roles in their unlawful and criminal, anti-democratic conducts,” he said.
The APC spokesman said the party and Ekiti people whose wishe were thwarted by soldiers on June 21 would not relent until justice was done and the culprits brought to book.
“The APC as a party will continue to circulate the audio tape that reveals the details of the evil plot of how Ekiti was thrown to the dogs so that the whole world will know the identities of the criminals who will not allow the law to work but will now turn around to accuse the judiciary of constituting a threat and road block to justice administration through corrupt practices.
“We want the Army and Federal Government to pursue this matter to a logical conclusion to make sure that never again shall criminals posing as national leaders and other political locusts ravage our democracy as was done on June 21, 2014,” Olatunbosun concluded.

Fayose?the same Judiciary process will throw him out soon.

Very soon.

Fayose has been pushing his luck, from the APC House members he fought,to the beating up of a Judge. And to the Constant insults of the Presidency, this guy will not last.

Everybody eventually runs out of LUCK.

Politics 101: Do not start a Political Battle you cannot win.


President Buhari, is not like Obasanjo. Who was basically a Rockstar like Fayose, and craved the media attention. President Buhari, is the silent strong type of President, who at the right time, will quietly dispel his machinery of "CURTAIL FAYOSE'S RUNNING MOUTH"to Ekiti, and then you will be hit with a "WIKE" which is a new dictionary term for a DEPOSED GOVERNOR.

Caveat emptor

His conscience is dead

Was it not the same APC that constituted a fraudulent case against that osun judge for calling out the utter retardd aregbesola?
The politics in that part of Nigeria is just laughable. The political parties in the SW just take the people for complete fools and the electorates respond as fools.

Truth is always bitter.

Gov. Fayose terrorizing apc with truth since the 2000s.

Which truth? the truth is that Fayose mother is still wearing pampers up till now. The truth is that sergeant koli fled Nigeria because of Fayose. The truth is that Fayose was part of the reason PDP lost that election after sponsoring useless adverts.
