Joint press release by former Ekiti State Governors on the security situation in Ekiti

Press statement as released on Kayode Fayemi's website today about the security situation Ekiti state
It has come to our attention that a team of hoodlums in three unmarked Hilux vehicles went round the State, armed with guns, machetes, knives and axes to the houses of APC membersand also to the homes of PDP members in the State who are opposed to the political philosophy of Governor Ayo Fayose. Their most recent operation centered on Ijero Local Government. There, they created mayhem, beat and tortured the 90-year old father of the Commissioner for Financeunder the Fayemi administration. The hoodlums destroyed shops and properties including cars belonging even to PDP members because of their perceived opposition to Fayose. The APC members were severely bloodied in the process.
This came barely 48 hours after former Governors Adebayo, Oni and Fayemi visited the State Commissioner of Police as well as the State Director of DSS on the security situation in Ekiti.  The Governors had called on the security chiefs to prevail on Governor Fayose to put an end to the ongoing impunity, thuggery, brigandage, political rascality and torture. We had warned that if push comes to shove, the Party and all well-meaning people in the State will result to self-help to protect themselves, their assets and their rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

During the visit of the Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Ekiti on Monday March 23rd, 2015, members of APC riding to the reception venue in Buhari/Osinbajo and APC branded vehicles were attacked in Ado Ekiti. They were shot at and several of their vehicles, including those belonging to Hon. Mrs. Bunmi Oriniowo, APC House of Assembly candidate and Amb. Olofin, the APC Ekiti Central Senatorial candidate, were destroyed by the hoodlums.  We want to state unequivocally that we will no longer tolerate any further unprovoked attack on and willful destruction of APC branded vehicles and assets in the State.

Keeping calm thus far is not out of weakness or incapacity to respond. We are only mindful of the lessons of history. Please recall that the First Republic ended with the “Operation Wetie” political violence that erupted in Ekiti when similar situation of political rascality as we have now became prevalent in the West. We do not want this to happen again. Notwithstanding, if further provoked, we will have no choice than to respond in kind!

We can no longer continue to live with a situation in which seven lawmakers are making laws for the State in gross violation of our Constitution. It is alarming that this can be allowed to continue without anyone attempting to call the abnormality to order. Ekiti belongs to all of us and we will not allow any group of hoodlums to willfully bastardize our values and heritage. We remain committed to handing over to our children “a banner without stain”. We hope the security forces will actively carry out their constitutional mandate and savethis democracy from collapse.

Signed:
1.     His Excellency, Otunba Niyi Adebayo
2.     His Excellency, Asiwaju Segun Oni
3.     His Excellency, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

Hmmm! Unbelievable na wa oh!!!!!!!!!! Nigerians can see what PDP government has turn to in Nigeria and Ekiti state. Entirely, GEJ, is hearing all this cry from Ekiti state. Since yesterday and he keep mute. They said Buhari will take us back if elected President! Nigerians say it's a good decision to go back when you've lost your way on a 16yrs PDP journey where our destination as a nation is no longer visible. Please, Buhari, take us back to the era where:1. One Dollar was less than one Naira. It is incredible today!2. Everything was on first come first serve basis.3. There was zero tolerance for corruption.4. Oil refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri & Kaduna were built & running at full capacity.5. Anybody with questionable wealth was afraid to display it in public. 6. There was Zero tolerance for indiscipline. Everything was in order7. Nigeria had no debt at all.8. Neglecting your children was a crime9. Littering the public place was a crime10. Twenty oil depots were built and functioning.11 Western world can't interfere into our nation.12. Chad invaded Nigeria, we sent them packing but did not harness their Land13. Our economy was NOT running on generator14. We can sleep with our eyes closed because we were secured.15. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia need not to set example on how to deal with drug pushers. 16. The Maitaseine Islamic Sect insurgency in the North was crushed on record time. 17. We want those days when Buhari was a military Governor but did not amass illegal wealth. 18. We want those days when Buhari was a Minister of Petroleum but did not hire a private jet for N10 billion. 19. We want those days when Buhari was a Head of State but did not loot the Treasury. 20. We want those days when Buhari was Head of PTF but did not steal the Fund even in the days of Abacha when stealing was the order of the day. Pls, Buhari & Osinbajo, take us BACK! We can't afford another 4yrs of waste in the hands of PDP!!! Take us BACK to the good old days of this our great nation. #havedecided to vote for #change

Elder brother to Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state, Segun Fayose says his younger brother is an embarrassment to their family.
"It is a pity Nigerians are celebrating criminals. I am angry with Nigerians for electing somebody like Ayodele as governor. Ayo should stop insulting and abusing my father’s name.
Ayo’s arrogance is one of the reasons I said people should not vote for him prior to the Ekiti governorship election. People should not see Ayo as an ambassador of our family.
Retracted above my ass, once money is shared, retraction follows.

Ekiti people are in trouble. See what they're facing all because they collected rice. This should be a lesson to Nigerians to vote wisely in this up and coming elections. Don't sell your vote for stipends.

Fayose is doing all these with the backing of the wolf in sheep coat called Jonathan.

WHERE ARE THE SECURITY AGENTS IN THIS FAILED COUNTRY. THEY WERE DEPLOYED TO ESCORT ILLEGAL GUN CARRYING OPC IN LAGOS BUT COULD NOT PROTECT CITIZENS IN THE COUNTRY. NIGERIA IS 1000% A DISASTER AND NEEDS URGENT RESCUE. IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE URGENTLY TOMORROW TO VOTE THIS MILITANT PROMOTING AND ROMANCING GOVERNMENT, GHANA, NIGER, TOGO, BENIN REPUBLIC WILL HAVE FULL SCALE OF 'NIGERIA MUST GO' BECAUSE THIS MILLITANT INFESTED COUNTRY WILL NO LONGER HE HABITABLE. COURTESY OF PDP LED GOVT. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Only in Nigeria would such a person as the incumbent of Ekiti run, let alone be voted for

Has anyone noticed, Jonathan usually is silent or keeps mute in all of these matters. Either d guy is a complete mumu or is very sinister. First, Ekitigate, second, Fayose endless character assassination of Buhari, third, this violence and all others things we never hear his say on, like his poor excuse of a wife spilling beans from her pothole like someone Shit in her mouth and all his other unruly emissaries like FFK and d rest. If not for anything, I want someone who is charismatic and exudes toughness, that we are clear of his opinion on matters, not this.

If that u did well when u were there....will fayose be able to get there. so just shatup

Subomi said...

This Fayose is not fit for office, not fit to be called a leader, calling him a thug is an understatement and his Boss GEJ has not been able to call him to order, he has stopped the press release and swung into action of thuggery intimidation and stupidity in a very lovely and peaceful state, so is this the protection GEJ talked about in his speech? this is the protection promised to innocent citizens? Another one of their stupid secrete meetings has happened and hoodlums are now allowed to parade the state with guns and machetes? How much I dislike this thug of a Governor cannot be expressed with words.

Stupid Fayose,ur doom is @ ur side,it is sleeping by ur side

Fayose Fayose Fayose...Hmmm Stop this rubbish in that small gifted state EKITI. This is not what that state was carved out of Ondo for. Fayose do not destroy your state with your own hands. Do your part to improve the lives of Ekiti people and leave. If Ekiti burns Fayose will be it's first victim. A word is enough for the wise. This is what happens when a thug and future jailbird is elected or imposed as Governor. Ekiti has been shipped back to the dark ages...

God seats in heaven and He is patiently watching and warning those perpetrating all this evil. He will fight soon and destroy all those who are troubling this nation.

To think I used to know some military officers who were rejoicing when their state EKITI was created where are they now to allow this rubbish continue in a state they fought for its creation. How can Fayose a nobody suddenly become a lord wrecking havoc in a state he had no hand in its creation. I weep for Ekiti people joh...

its so clear the first 3 comments are just a continuation of the lame speech of this failed politically mummified politicians!Fayemi should just rest in peace in his political grave and face his lecturing job for which he is better suited.the other 2 are not worth mentioning,they are just relics!Ekiti is peaceful.stop forming stories!d same paper tigerism and media propaganda that made you lose in Nigeria's most disgraceful political loss is still appealing to you?alaigboran!comot dia!

"I run Ekiti -Fayose!" *Vector's Voice* Dunno if these allegations are true, either wayz Fayose needs to take the chill pill

Lol. True talk .

Anonymous said...

Fayose's unruly and thuggery action have been persistent because of the wicked and selfish president we are having. GEJ refusal to call Fayose to order is deliberate. He thinks Fayose is doing him a favour by committing those heinous acts. What a shame on a desperate president? No iota of sensitivity about the plights of his followers, only thinks about his political ambition. “Awon OLE BURUKU………….”

Unknown said...

Fayose omo ale, dida ke ekun, tojo ko o. Security agencies won't respond now until apc retaliate

Fayemi still dey?omo ole!

Unknown said...

Fayemi should leave Ekiti state alone. Is he the only governor who lost elections. We are tired of all the bad publicity being given to Ekiti state by APC simply because they lost out. NOTHING will make Fayemi return as governor of Ekiti state, let him get used to that reality.
