The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has blasted the
Governor Ayodele Fayose and told him that his criminal past was haunting
him. The party also said Fayose is a threat to the Nigerian
Constitution and orderly society.
The statement came after the governor attacked fiery lawyer, Femi
Falana (SAN) over his position on the alleged election fraud that
returned him (Fayose) to power.
The party said the eminent lawyer was right by asserting that
Fayose is liable to prosecution in the light of the new revelations
linking his victory to alleged electoral fraud through illegal
militarisation and illegal printing of sensitive INEC materials through
which he won the election.
Falana noted that all the evidence pointed to the fact that Fayose
used criminal means to ascend to the position of governor and should be
made to face the full weight of the law. Falana also said that the
secretly recorded audio tape by Captain Sagir Koli, including
revelations contained in the confessions by PDP State Secretary, Dr Tope
Aluko made Fayose guilty.
The statement by the APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun read in part: “Fayose
is jittery and that is why he is stoking violence. He has started
attacking individuals in Ekiti State like he did during his first
aborted tenure in 2006.
“We want to remind Fayose that many of his party leaders, who
still have a modicum of integrity, have also left PDP in droves because
they could not stand the shame he has brought upon them through the
Ekitigate scandal planned and executed by him and some of his cohorts.
Therefore, Falana cannot be an exception.
“Fayose is being haunted by his criminal past and there is no
way he will not meet his comeuppance no matter how he tries to evade
justice.“
Through his past and present deeds, decent people of the world have
since discovered that Fayose is a threat to democracy and Constitution
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, law and order in the society and
everyone knows that there is no way he can operate in a society where
the law works.”
