EKITI EX-DEP. SPEAKER HAILS HOUSE OF REPS OVER STOPPAGE OF EKITI LGs ALLOCATION
Former Deputy Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Taiwo
Olatunbosun has hailed the House of Representatives for promptly
rising in condemnation of the illegal dissolution of Local Government
Councils in Ekiti State by the State Governor, Mr. Kayode Fayemi,
saying; “Members of the lower chamber of the National Assembly have
demonstrated that there are still people of integrity in Nigeria.”
Olatunbosun said in a statement made available to journalists in
Ado-Ekiti that; “Even a novice, except those jostling for appointments
or contracts from Fayemi knows that the dissolution is not only
illegal but an executive rascality.”
He called on the Senate to add its voice to the condemnation of the
illegalities being perpetrated in Ekiti by the Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) government, adding that; “Nigerians must rise in defence
of our constitution before these pretenders cause great havoc to our
nascent democracy.”
“The House of Representatives members have shown that there are still
honourable men and women with proven integrity in this country.
“By that resolution, they have shown Fayemi and his invading Lagos
Garrison Commander that the reign of falsehood cannot stand the test
of time.
“We are therefore glad that our National Assembly has once again taken
a bold and appropriate step to strengthen and sustained our hard
earned democracy by telling Fayemi the plain truth that he cannot sack
democratically elected Local Governments officials without recourse to
the House of Assembly.
“It should therefore be known to those that are urging Fayemi on that
the representatives of Ekiti people as constituted by the House of
Assembly and the elected council authorities will soon flush his
(Fayemi) locust regime out.”
The former Deputy Speaker, who described Fayemi and cohorts as
political tourist in Ekiti said; “Ekiti people will resist with
everything that they have the tyrannical rule being foisted on the
State by Fayemi.
“Nobody is afraid of his imported killers and militants from Lagos and
Niger Delta. The decision of our distinguished legislators both at
the National Assembly and state so far is commendable and with this
regime of confusion and illegalities, it has been shown that Ekiti
people never voted Fayemi. Rather, he got into government through a
black market judgment, which has now become an albatross.
