BEVERLY HILLS, March 28, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state has declared Governor Ayodele Fayose’s conducts as a threat to national security.
This was contained in a statement issued on Monday in Ado Ekiti by The State Publicity Secretary of the party, Aiwo Olatunbosun, who said the governor’s recent utterances and actions suggest acts of sabotage targeted at rendering national institutions ineffective to perform their statutory roles for effective government in a federal set-up.
He revealed that Fayose’s unguided serial statements had exposed him as a man fighting a lone battle against the Federal Government over alleged selfish motives adding that such motives were targeted at putting millions of Nigerians in jeopardy of instability in an already tottering economy.
Olatunbosun said that besides the governor inciting Ekiti people against the operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS), he had also threatened to bring down Buhari’s government if any attempt was made to probe sundry alleged crimes levelled against him.
“We have heard of reports of Governor Fayose inciting the people to stone the operatives of the DSS anywhere they are seen,” the statement read.
“This is besides saying many unprintable things about the President, such as saying that he would soon die, and declaring the DG of DSS, Lawal Musa Daura, a personal non-grata in Ekiti State.
“It is regrettable that Mr. 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 has 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 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.
“Fayose has appointed himself national opposition leader just because he wants to help himself in his many criminal cases against the nation’s law.”
