Fayose Not Recruiting Any Thugs, APC Calling For Coup---Aide
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has described the allegation of treasonable comments made against him by the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as not only ridiculous but coming from an unsound minds.
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Idowu Asdelusi, described as shameless lie, claim by the State Chapter of the APC that the governor was arming ten thugs per local government in the State, saying; “APC
is obviously calling for a coup-de-tat against a governor
democratically elected, whose tenure is fixed and mode of possible
removal from office is stipulated in the Constitution of Nigeria.”
He said the tone of the press release by the APC really showed the
poor state of mind of those running the affairs of party.
"There is no point wrestling with pigs. For people with sound,
discerning minds, they would, no doubt, wonder why somebody with a
decent background and sound mind would refer to the governor of his
state as needing psychiatric attention or not been able to survive in
a law abiding society?
"Politics apart, this is madness taken too far and beyond redemption.
Governor Ayodele Fayose came and cleaned up the mess left by the APc
government of Dr Kayode Fayemi and it's hordes of blood suckers, who
made Ekiti State to bleed to a point of coma. He has not only been
alive to his duty as the indefatigable leader of the state, but has
consistently put smiles on the faces of the people.
He said it was shameful that the same party that ran Ekiti State
aground, through reckless borrowing and mismanagement of the State
finances could want to present itself as speaking for the people whose
future they mortgaged.
He said; "It was the APC government of Fayemi that came to office and
started with bloodletting with the murder of Chief Adeleye Awolumate
and ended with no fewer than 12 murders, including a 400 level student
of Accounting in the Ekiti State University, Teslim Abiola.
"If the APC goons are piqued that Mr Governor is criticising the
President, they can relocate to Abuja and denounce their indiqeneship
of Ekiti State. They must know that Governor Fayose, like any other
Nigerian, is exercising his constitutional rights of freedom of
speech. He has not breached anybody's rights by constructively
commenting on national issues.
“It is obvious that having failed in their efforts to gained access to
the Ekiti State Government through the backdoor, they now desired a
situation whereby the State Government House will also be invaded by
the DSS as it was done in Akwa-Ibom State, but on this one, they will
fail as usual.”
“Governor Fayose clearly expressed his minds in the interview they are
trying to capitalise on by warning that any attempt to destabilise his
government could lead to the downfall of the APC government and he
stands by what he said. The governor never said he was going to bring
the government of President Mohammadu Buhari down.
“Therefore, Nigerians do not need the apology of a group of shameless
hypocrites like the APC in Ekiti State. Rather, what Nigerians need at
this time is someone who can look at President Buhari in the eyes and
tell him the bitter truth, and that’s exactly what Governor Fayose is
doing
"The APC loudmouths in Ekiti State would do themselves a lot of good
by forcing themselves to get over their woeful performance in Ekiti
elections and the 'Amalekite-kind' of defeat they suffered in the June
21, 2014 governorship election. For how long would they continue to
wail?"
