Stop Harassing Fayose – Ekiti PDP Elders Tells FG

A group, the Ekiti PDP Elders’ Forum, has accused the
Federal Government of harassing and intimidating the Ekiti
State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose and top officials of the
state government through institutions such as the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Department
of State Security (DSS) among others.
The group, therefore, called on the Presidency to stop such
acts in the interest of peace and harmony in the country.
Speaking on behalf of the group in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday,
former Deputy Governor, Chief Paul Alabi said the latest
freezing of the account of Governor Fayose was the last
straw that broke the camel’s back.
Alabi was supported by former Deputy Governor Sikiru Tae
Lawal, Chief Idowu Odeyemi, Chief Afolabi Ojuawo, Chief
Mrs Adesoro, Hon. Dele Olugbemi, Dr Jimi Oke, Chief J.O.
Ademuwagun, Chief Idowu Faleye among others.
The PDP elders recalled that agents of the Federal
Government had earlier invaded the state House of
Assembly, abducted a lawmaker, Hon. Afolabi Akanni and
detained him for 18 days without being charged to court.
“From all these happenings, it is clear that the APC-
led Federal Government is actively using both the DSS and
the EFCC and other federal agencies to harass and
intimidate Governor Ayodele Fayose for no other reason
than raising his voice against what he sees as the illegalities
and bad policies of the APC-led Federal Government.
“As elders of the party in Ekiti State, we are very much
disturbed at this trend where a sitting governor who enjoys
constitutional immunity is being harassed by institutions
created by the state for no just cause other than being the
voice of the masses,” they said.
They added that democracy would only thrive when the
rule of law is allowed to operate.
While noting that the governor had been crying out against
plans by the government at the centre to destabilize his
government, they pleaded with President Muhammadu
Buhari to face governance and ensure the delivery of
dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
