The governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has alleged that the Federal government has concluded plans to use the economic and Financial Crimes Commission to destabilize Ekiti state with the ultimate aim of illegally impeaching him.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja Sunday, Mr Fayose alleged that part of the plot was to arrest his Chief of Staff and four members of the state House of Assembly, detain them indefinitely and force them to start impeachment process against him.
Governor Fayose said: “I called you here to intimate the public through your various medium, the new clandestine plot by the President Mohammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government to destabilize the Ekiti State Government, using the instrumentality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“A few days ago, we got it on good authority that there was a meeting with some politicians from Ekiti State, including an Ekiti born Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and self-professed human rights activist by agents of the Federal government, with the agenda solely, on how to bring down my administration as the governor of the state. “Activities of these elements that are obviously afraid of facing another electoral defeat in 2018 are being coordinated through the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Babachir Lawal and the Attorney General of the Federation.
“Certain top functionaries of the Ekiti State government and some important members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, and some associates of mine, have now been penciled down for arrest and indefinite detention by the EFCC under the guise of investigating the funds spent by the PDP on the June 21, 2014 governorship election and the Presidential election.
“The game plan is to make those to be arrested get detained indefinitely, forced them to make statements incriminating me, while at the same time feeding the public with orchestrated fake reports, using their usual media organs. “This is coming after their failure to use the Department of State Services (DSS) to coerced members of the State House of Assembly to buy into the impeachment plot against me with a view to silencing me being a major voice of the opposition.
“The plot to arrest and detain indefinitely my Chief of Staff, Chief Dipo Anisulowo and four honourable members of the state House of Assembly for treason.
“To achieve this sinister plot against the government and people of Ekiti State, we have been informed that some of their trusted allies in the EFCC have been mobilised to move to Ekiti any moment from now” he alleged. The governor wondered why the EFCC has not beamed it’s search light on petitions written against some former officials of the state government but are now occupying key positions in the Buhari administration.

ReplyDeleteYou are long gone Mr. Fayose!
ReplyDeleteYour cries are meaningless.
What the series of evidences levelled against you as per your reelection, I'm quite surprised you're still in office.
Why not tow the path of honor and simply resign.

Fayose, Sir what do you want Nigerians to do? If they arrest them and you are not guilty, why do you fear they will implicate you? Clear conscience fears no accusation. Lol

ReplyDeleteHow can FG impeach you. Do good to your state and be safe because only your state legislative can impeach you.
ReplyDeleteLol...Fayose's conscience is not clear, now he's haunting himself
ReplyDeleteWhy crying wolf when you have boasted there is no wolf? But you have challenged Mr President to dare you, after all no arrow fashioned against you can prosper as long as your garage boys are with you. They delivered you from the clench teeth of the judiciary some years ago and I believe you still enjoy their solidarity. Coward!
ReplyDeleteFayose will prevail. Because light will always overcome darkness.
