Ruling party, the All Progressives
Congress has described Ekiti state
Governor Ayodele Fayose, as a
serious threat to national security,
owing to his recent statements and
conduct.

The Ekiti state chapter of the APC,
said Fayose’s utterances are aimed
at creating instability in the
country’s economy.

Speaking on behalf of the party,
Publicity Secretary, Taiwo
Olatunbosun, cited Fayose’s threat
to bring Buhari’s government down
if any attempt was made to probe
alleged crimes against him, as
testament of the danger he poses to
Nigeria’s security.

“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 that he (Buhari)
would soon die, and declaring the
DG of DSS, Lawal Musa Daura
personal 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.”

“This failure to see governance
beyond personal appeal of the
governor is costing our state good
governance for the development of
our people and her deserved place
of honour in this country.”

“That is why the governor is
wasting state resources on
helicopter charter to ferry an
accused person, Akanni Afolabi,
from Abuja to Ekiti after which he
took six pages of several
newspapers on frivolous adverts to
publish court records on the
accused’s bail application and
topped it with the donation of a
new car to same Akanni, who is still
under investigation over several
criminal cases.”

“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 the Ekiti golden boy
that has put Ekiti State on the map
of academic honour at the
University of Lagos.”

“Besides suborning the staff of the
Assembly to lie against DSS by
presenting purported spent bullets,
there is no evidence to show the
world that the DSS actually invaded
Ekiti House of Assembly after police
report on the matter and evidence
by workers proved that there was
no invasion of the Assembly by
DSS.”
