The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor
Ayo Fayose of conducting himself in a manner that threatens
national security.
It said the governor’s recent utterances and actions suggested
acts of sabotage targeted at rendering national institutions
ineffective to perform their statutory roles for effective
government.
“We have heard of reports of Governor Fayose inciting the
people to stone the operatives of the DSS anywhere they
are seen. This is besides saying many unprintable things
about the President, such as saying that he would soon die
and declaring the Director General of DSS, Lawal Musa
Daura, person non grata in Ekiti State.
“It is regrettable that Fayose cannot separate his personal views
as a man constantly at war with the Nigerian law from the views of
lawful Ekiti people, who are ready to submit themselves to the
Nigerian law where the rule of law and good governance flourish,”
he said.
Accusing the governor of running a government built on his
personal image, the APC spokesman said this misconception had
“robbed Ekiti people the quality leadership with the right mindset
to see governance beyond the prism of self-glorification.
“This failure to see governance beyond personal appeal of the
governor has cost our state good governance for the development
of our people and her deserved place of honour in this country.
“Governor Fayose is overwhelmed with promoting cloudy
characters, with several alleged crimes hanging on their necks far
above Ekiti academic pride of the century, Ayodele Dada, who
bagged the best graduating student award at the University of
Lagos with a record 5.0 GPA.
“We are not surprised at the governor’s beatification of crime in
this instance, because you can only give what you have and gold
is usually sold to the person who knows its value. That is why
Fayose would prefer to celebrate thugs and roughnecks to
celebrating Ekiti golden boy that has put Ekiti State on the map of
academic honour at the University of Lagos.”
The party urged Nigerians not to be misled by Fayose’s many lies
against the government.
