A crowd of supporters of the Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose
were seen on the streets protesting the alleged plan of state House of
Assembly to remove the governor.
The crowd of protesters, who are members
of a group called Positive Minds Club for Teachers, were at Fajuyi Park
in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, with placards bearing various
inscriptions criticising the Assembly. They moved from the popular
Fajuyi Park to Ijigbo roundabout where they were addressed by two of
their leaders.
Some of the placards which they carried
had on them inscriptions such as: “No to impeachment,” “We want peace in
Ekiti,” “Return the N100m bribe to your leader,” “No going back on June
21 election result” and Tinubu stay away from Ekiti,” among others.
However, the group’s President, Mr. Ojo
Patrick, and Treasurer, Mr. Bello Akande, made it known that they are
ready to mobilize the people of the state to move against any plan to
remove the governor as there are underground plans to do so.
Patrick said, “It is a peaceful
protest and the police are here to ensure that the protest is not
hijacked. We are going to maintain peace throughout the protest.“We just
want to show to all Ekiti people that we stand by the result of the
last governorship election and our mandate.
“If the members of the House of
Assembly want us to come and dialogue with them, we are ready. We learnt
that they went for a meeting in Lagos State with Tinubu and each of the
lawmakers collected N50m while the Speaker got N100m to impeach the
governor and to make sure that Ekiti State is made ungovernable for
Fayose.”
Patrick, however appealed to the
lawmakers “in the interest of all Ekiti people to stay clear of any move
to impeach the governor.”
Meanwhile, the state House of Assembly
had a press meeting on Thursday making it known that they did not
collected money to remove the governor.
The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr.
Churchill Adedipe, said the meeting they held in Lagos was to discuss
the forthcoming All Progressive Congress presidential primary.
It would be recalled that just recently, the Ekiti State Government
released the images demonstrating the opulence in which former Governor
Kayode Fayemi and his family lived while he was the Ekiti governor, a
state in debt and which had difficulty paying its workers
