Ekiti State Gov­ernor, Mr Ayo­dele Fayose has condemned the tribunal judgments nul­lifying the elections of Rivers and Akwa Ibom States Governors, Mr Nyesom Wike and Emmanuel Udom re­spectively, saying; “the seeming collaboration between the All Pro­gressives Congress (APC) led Federal Gov­ernment and a section of the judiciary is wor­risome and portends grave danger to the corporate existence of Nigeria. This is worse than corruption that the president claimed to be fighting.”

Governor Fayose said desperation to take over the South South states of Riv­ers and Akwa Ibom through the backdoor by President Mohammadu Buhari and his APC, in preparation for 2019, using the judiciary may cause anarchy in the country.

Speaking through his Spe­cial Assistant on Public Com­munications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor accused the APC and Presi­dent Buhari of another grand plot to rig the forthcoming Kogi and Bayelsa States gov­ernorship elections, using the newly appointed Independent National Electoral Commis­sion (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the Director General of Depart­ment of State Security (DSS), Alhaji Lawal Daura.

He described the suspen­sion of the appeal court judg­ment on Senate President Bukola Saraki as “part of the grand plot to use a section of the judiciary to wrestle pow­er from those the Buhari’s Presidency is not comfortable with,” saying the indefinite ad­journment by the appeal court smacked of interference from the powers that be.

Governor Fayose said; “There were widespread elec­toral malpractices during the presidential election in the North, with rampant under-aged voting. Yet, Dr Good­luck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not take steps capable of threatening Nigeria’s corpo­rate existence.

“Curiously too, in a state like Yobe where it was estab­lished that the INEC Resi­dent Electoral Commissioner (REC), Abu Zarma received N15 million bribe from the Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the state governor, Ibrahim Gaid­am, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Zakari Deba to in­fluence the State Governor­ship election, the tribunal did not nullify the election.”

The governor called on President Buhari to, in the overall interest of Nigeria, tread cautiously in his bid to consolidate power and pre­pare ground for his possible re-election bid.

Governor Fayose, who re­minded the President of the wild, wild west of the mid 60s and the 1983 saga between late Chief Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Akin Omoboriowo, which was orchestrated by the then Federal Government, said “the consequences of the orchestrated plot to prevent the people of Western Re­gion from having the govern­ment of their choice through a fair and just election in 1964 should be a watchful example for Nigerians in general and President Buhari in particu­lar.”

He appealed to the people of the South South not to be intimidated and discour­aged, expressing hope that the appellate court will pro­tect the wish of the people of Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

“Governors Wike and Udom, as well as the teem­ing supporters of our party, PDP in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states should not be deterred and discouraged as I am sure that by the spe­cial grace of God, they will laugh last,” the governor said.

Action governor

Nigeria is a caricature with the recycling of personnel in the corridors of power. The masses are at the receiving end. This foster democracy being practiced in Nigeria cannot bring the solution anticipated by the Nigeria masses.

The only out spoken Governor in Nigeria.
