The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti
State has likened most members of the newly
inaugurated state House of Assembly to
garage touts.








According to the APC, the state Governor,
Ayodele Fayose has succeeded in turning
the House into his private property instead
of working for the people’s interest.








APC said such selfish agenda held no
promise for the growth of the state and
political development of the people.







The party in a statement by the state APC
Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said
the profile of new members in the new
Assembly had revealed that most of them
were incompetent and unqualified.







This, he said, the governor did to advance
his personal interest.







According to the statement, “Only a few of
them are worthy of the exalted position of
legislators. We all saw the intrigues that
characterised the primaries that returned
the new members. It was ballot snatching
and violence on a massive scale during the
April 11 Assembly poll.









“Fayose just selected his cronies across the
state above well-educated members and
imposed them on the party. Most of them
are miscreants and school dropouts who
Fayose compensated as honourable
members”.









“Fayose’s public declaration of political
death for any member who works against
his interest points to where Ekiti people are
headed in the business of law making in the
next four years.









“We saw the first public declaration of
loyalty by the Assembly members on the day
of inauguration when they all prostrated for
Fayose in the chambers, stating he is their
father,” he explained.








“Because of their inadequacies, they will
legitimise and encourage illegality and
impunity because they won’t understand
the nitty-gritty of lawmaking process and
independence of mind required in making
laws that benefit the larger society outside
the narrow interest of the governor.









“We cannot compare this Fifth Assembly
with the outgoing Assembly in terms of
composition of members. The last Assembly
was composed of members who have seen
it all. They are professionals, such as lawyers,
medical doctors, pharmacists, architects,
policy makers, public analysts and retired
top civil servants.








“These are the educated people Fayose will
not work with because of their courage and
independence of mind. In their place are
Fayose’s thugs and those that helped him to
undermine the law to always have his way.








“Ekiti people should brace for many
surprises and bizarre legislations from this
assembly mostly composed of the people of
questionable character working with the
governor to achieve predetermined ends,”








Olatubosun added.
In a swift reaction, the PDP said the APC was
only talking out of frustration.
The party in a statement by its acting
Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo, said
the new members of the assembly were
better in all ways to candidates presented by
the APC at the poll.
