Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Saturday described the tribunal judgement which sacked the Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP , as a ridiculous political judgement that can never stand before men of good conscience and God.

Fayose , who maintained that there was a conspiracy by the All Progressives Congress( APC ) led federal government and a section of the judiciary against the People’ s Democratic Party ( PDP ) , called on the Supreme Court to save the country from impending anarchy .

In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media , Lere Olayinka , the governor wondered how a tribunal could make conduct of the PDP primary that produced Governor Ishaku in Abuja an issue when the tribunal itself sat in Abuja .

He said : “how does the emergence of party candidate , which is the clear internal business of the party and a pre - election matter concern the APC and the Election Tribunal?
“Isn’ t it funny that it is no longer about election rigging , but technicality of how PDP candidates emerged even when no one in the PDP went to court to challenge how Governor Ishaku emerged as the PDP governorship candidate ?

“If insecurity could make Taraba State Tribunal sit in Abuja and not in Jalingo, how then can it be justified that the same tribunal that sat in Abuja nullified the governor ’ s election because the primary election that produced him too was held in Abuja ?

“Is it not being manifested in this President Mohammadu Buhari led APC government that what is good for some people may not be good for others even though we operate the same constitution ?

“To me and the teeming supporters of the PDP , this judgement is one that must not be allowed to stand . It is a clear miscarriage of justice and we will seek redress from the court of men and the court of God.”

While reiterating his commitment to speaking the truth in the overall interest of Nigerians , Governor Fayose said ; “If everybody is persecuted and intimidated to submission , I will remain resolute in my resolved to always say the truth before men and God. ”

we are always with you fayose. Buhari's only agenda in government is to use APC (a muslim party) to islamize Nigeria. Thats why he wants to first turn the nation into a one party state. Next is Kogi and Bayelsa. Real men must speak up

OrlandoOwoh:
This man doesn't know anything other than behaving like a tout. He should meet his advisers to explain things to him before going to public.

seunmsg:
Fayose the habitual noisemaker doing his thing as usual. Today's judgement will not be complete without Fayose having something silly to say about it. Fortunately, Taraba is not Ekiti where the governor goes about beating judges.

kingphilip:
If the tribunal really sat in Abuja on grounds of insecurity issues, I think it doesn't have the rights on moral grounds to sack the governor who won his primaries in Abuja too due to insecurity issues

Nothing person no go see for this Nigeria wey we de so
