Ekiti State Gover-nor, Mr Ayo Fayose yesterday stunned the people of the state when he swore in as a judge of the state the man who in 2006 headed his impeachment panel.

Fayose equally announced the promotion of an official of the state Ministry of Justice,Mr Lawrence Ojo who signed his warrant of arrest papers at Ikoyi Prisons during his murder case to position of Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry.Ayodele-Fayose

Speaking during the official swearing in ceremony of Justice Bamidele Omotoso, the governor said he went against some of his supporters who felt he should take his pound of flesh.

Omotoso,an Ado Ekiti based legal practitioner, was cleared by the National Judicial Council (NJC) to be made a judge in the state but was refused to be sworn in by the regime of Dr. Kayode Fayemi led government.

Fayose said the inauguration of Omotosho as a judge after two years of being cleared for the post by the National Judicial Council, was a demonstration of a forgiving spirit.

“Few days after my inauguration, some people came to me and reminded me of the role played by Omotoso during my impeachment saga. They said I should not swear him in as a judge of the state High Court

“I am not here to revenge,vengeance belongs to God.

“If you want to report anybody to me bring the person here,otherwise I will invite the two of you.”

At the ceremony which was attended by the state Chief Judge,Justice Ayodeji Daramola and the Speaker of the state House of Assembly,Fayose stretched hands of friendship to the legislator and judiciary.

“I plead with the other two arms of government that Ekiti should come first. You may not like my face and I may not like yours, but Ekiti should be number one.”

“I am ready to work with the Assembly. I am a man of uncommon history, coming back to office after eight years is divine. I have a stern warning from God, do not avenge.

There is nothing personal I have against the judiciary.

People would want to be where you are and life is about struggles. We need more judges and we will help in making them comfortable in the discharge of their duties.

There is need for fair hearing. I want the other arms of government to give my administration a fair hearing and the chance to perform,” he said.

Omotosho, in his remarks, promised to abide by his oath of office and thanked the governor for the appointment.

He has a point to prove

This is totally uncommon among our present political leaders. Indeed, Fayose is a repented man.

Whenever they say u can't , take d t off

I don't trust politicians. I am sure there is an angle somewhere albeit latent. Time shall tell.

Good move from a 'changed' man.

Many judges will be jostling to head his next impeachment panel,

funny governor, funny people n funny state

The movie has just begun. Let all watch his/her back for a monkey in tuxedo is a monkey afterall.

That's why he is a man of the people and was voted for by the masses.... by this act, he has shown why.

He is not jor.

Haba, una never read "the 48 laws of power"

This is just a simple law. Show favour to someone who won't expect it, ( having wronged you before) and you've got him on your debt for life.
Plus, you keep him under close watch.



The dons of the italian mafia has perfected this strategy tey tey

Dz is not about forgiveness bro.... U should v at least made him sweat a little

Great act from a great mind. Fayose is really a good governor

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Guess he read 48 laws of power?

He has learnt how to use his enemies, it works like magic!

POLITRICKCIANS.......The more you see d less u understand.

I'm sure he read 48 laws of power

Fayose is a professional scammer!!!...wait one year and see.

Three things that the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Peter Ayo Fayose did yesterday, Friday October 23, 2014.

He swore in Mr Bamidele Omotoso as a Judge. Mr Omotoso was the chairman of the impeachment panel set up by Justice Jide Aladejana that found Fayose guilty on October 16, 2006. Omotoso was recommended to the then House of Assembly led by Hon. Friday Aderemi by Kayode Fayemi, Femi Falana, Femi Ojudu ( all of E11) . Two years ago, the NJC recommended Omotoso and two others to be swore in as judge but Governor Fayemi refused to swear him in on the excuse that he ( Omotoso) represented the PDP against him at the election petition tribunal. If Omotoso-led panel had not found Fayose guilty, Fayemi would not have been governor.

Another event is that of Mr Lawrence Ojo, the DPP who took warrant of arrest to the Ikoyi Prison, Lagos on the authority of Governor Segun Oni in January 2008 to bring Fayose to Ado Ekiti to be arraigned for murder of Dr Ayo Daramola and Tunde Omojola. Fayose was indeed smuggled to Ekiti but Ekiti people did not allow him to be brought into the court. The rest is now history. Fayose has approved his appointment as acting solicitor general, notwithstanding opposition against the appointment.

Kabiyesi Onisan, the monarch of Isan Ekiti, Fayemi's home town, had refused Fayose entry to Isan Ekiti to campaign during the electioneering process. Fayose has approved the monarch's request to lecture at the state university.

LESSON TO LEARN FROM THESE
Learn to forgive, don't revenge, vengeance belongs to God. Do good to all manners of men

-Idowu Adelusi, Chief Press Secretary to Ekiti State Governor.

The Judge was recommended by National Judicial Council.

Fayose has demonstrated his willingness to work with independent Judiciary, a very good step in supporting Institutionalised Democracy.

This is a lesson Gov. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi must learn

The excerpt:

Omotoso,an Ado Ekiti based legal practitioner, was cleared by the National Judicial Council (NJC) to be made a judge in the state but was refused to be sworn in by the regime of Dr. Kayode Fayemi led government.

Fayose said the inauguration of Omotosho as a judge after two years of being cleared for the post by the National Judicial Council, was a demonstration of a forgiving spirit.

.

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer

Fayose has demonstrated that he is not a divisive character.

The least that Ekiti people can do is to join hands with him to develop the state.

The people should rise up against sundry political jobbers in the guise of E11 masquerading to have the interest of the state at heart while in reality they are merely trying to pursue their selfish interests.

Let the wishes and aspirations of the people prevail.

And that is what I call a rear show of a large heart

No matter what Fayose does, some people will never like him. You know those am talking about..... Lets bury our hatred pls.

He is truly a repented felow. Indeed he is not paying evil with evil but paying evil with good.

watch ur back mr judge, my advice

One word:

CLASSIC!
