19 Ekiti APC Lawmakers Avoid Peace Assembly With Ayo Fayose by falconey(m): 9:10pm On May 01, 2015
Ayodele Fayose led thugs to beat up judges
The 19 remaining All Progressives Congress (APC)
State Assemblymen refused to attend a peace
assembly yesterday organized by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti
State. The meeting was set to be held at a leading
private university in Ekiti State.
A statement signed by lawmaker Wale Olujobi
asserted that many of APC Assemblymen believed
that the government would arrest them if they
attended the meeting due to ongoing political
tensions related to impeachment efforts against
Governor Fayose.
Governor Fayose was exposed by SaharaReporters
for unlawfully manipulating his gubernatorial
election in 2014, as well as suppressing Ekiti
opposition voters in the presidential and local
elections in 2015.
Chief Afe Babalola, Chairman of the Elders
Committee, who is leading mediation efforts between
Governor Fayose and the 19 APC lawmakers,
expressed disappointment regarding their absence.
Chief Babalola told reporters that he decided to liaise
and mediate the ongoing strife between PDP State
leaders and APC lawmakers because of his historic
involvement in the Ekiti State affairs, and after being
prompted by the Nigeria Labor Congress and Chief
Kunle Olajide.
In the statement through his media adviser, APC
State Assembly Speaker Adewale Omirin's explained
that the lawmakers were greatly appreciative of the
peace movement initiated, but cited that it exposes
Governor Fayose’s poor leadership in addressing the
crisis.
Chief Babalola, who spoke at the meeting, also
revealed an array of text messages sent between
himself and State Assembly Speaker Omirin. The
texts explain that APC members believed they would
be wrongfully detained by Governor Fayose and PDP
State leaders.
Babalola said their safety was ensured because as
many as 200 security operatives were placed at the
venue.
Chief Babalola has said that despite this setback, he
will continue on the path of peace, unity, and
development of the State.
