Politics: Warn Fayose Now,APC to Yoruba Monarchs

Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti
The Publicity Secretaries of the All Progressives
Congress in the South West States have
criticised Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
over his objection to the $2bn China loan to
Nigeria. http://www.allnaijahints.blogspot.com/2016/04/warn-fayose-now-apc-to-yoruba-monarchs.html

In a statement jointly signed by the APC
spokesmen of Ondo State, Omo’ba Abayomi
Adesanya; Ekiti, Taiwo Olatunbosun; Ogun, Sola
Lawal; Joe Igbokwe of Lagos and their Osun
counterpart, Mr. Morakinyo Akintola, they said
the call became inevitable on account of the
alleged persistent odd conduct by the governor
before and after he assumed office for the
second term.
“His thoughts and emotions have been so
impaired that he has completely lost decorum
and conduct expected of a man that can safely
live in peace with other people in a sane society
where the law works.”
Listing instances where the governor had
displayed questionable conducts, they said, “The
governor went to the House of Assembly with
the gavel to conduct a voice vote to pass the
2016 budget.
“He sits on the road median treating official files
and goes to the market personally carting away
traders’ tables and chairs, including their wares.
“The last was his embarrassing and illegal
communication with the Chinese authority urging
President XI Jinping to refuse financial
assistance to Nigeria to enable the country
address her economic challenges.
“Also in China, he mounted a rostrum at a train
station addressing travellers in tattered clothings
and posted his photograph on the Internet,
claiming that he was addressing investors in
China even when there was no Federal
Government’s approval that he ought to seek
before a state can embark on such diplomatic
trip.
“Besides, Fayose’s intervention on the nation’s
appropriation matter is an exclusive function of
the National Assembly.”
The Spokesmen urged the Yoruba monarchs to
caution the governor to save him from self-ruin.
“Governor Fayose is one of our sons. He needs
help. We want him to succeed as an individual
and as the Governor of Ekiti State (The Land of
Honour). Therefore, we cannot continue to watch
him drag the revered name of Yoruba in the mud
in the name of government’s criticism. He’s
gradually stepping beyond his bounds.
“This is the essence of our appeal to all Yoruba
Obas and religious leaders to pray fervently for
and on behalf of Fayose to regain his senses
because, an injury to one, we believe is an injury
to all,” the statement read.
