The All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state on Monday said Governor Ayodele
Fayose’s conducts were threats to national security.
It said the governor’s recent utterances and actions suggest
acts of sabotage targeted at rendering national institutions ineffective to
perform their statutory roles for effective government in a federal set-up.
The State Publicity Secretary of the party, aiwo Olatunbosun,
said this in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti.
The statement noted that Mr. Fayose’s unguided serial statements
had exposed him as a man fighting a lone battle against the Federal Government
over alleged selfish motives.
He said such motives were targeted at putting millions of
Nigerians in jeopardy of instability in an already tottering economy.
He cited the governor’s alleged death wish for President
Muhammadu Buhari at a rally held at Fajuyi Square, Ado-Ekiti, over the weekend
to welcome the detained member of the House of Assembly, Akanni Afolabi, to the
state capital as a case study.
Mr. Olatunbosun regretted that besides the governor inciting
Ekiti people against the operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS),
he had also for umpteenth time, threatened to bring Mr. Buhari’s government
down if any attempt was made to probe sundry alleged crimes levelled against
him.
“We have
heard of reports of Governor Fayose inciting the people to stone the operatives
of the DSS anywhere they are seen.
“This is besides saying many unprintable things about the
President, such as saying that he would soon die, and declaring the DG of DSS,
Lawal Musa Daura, a personal non-grata in Ekiti State.
“It is regrettable that Mr. Fayose cannot separate his personal
views as a man constantly at war with the Nigerian law from the views of lawful
Ekiti people, who are ready to submit themselves to the Nigerian law where the
rule of law and good governance flourish,” the party said.
Accusing the governor of running a government built on his
personal image, the APC said this misconception had “robbed Ekiti people the
quality leadership with the right mindset to see governance beyond the prism of
self-glorification”.
“This failure to see governance beyond personal appeal of the
governor is costing our state good governance for the development of our people
and her deserved place of honour in this country.
“That is why the governor is wasting state resources on
helicopter charter to ferry an accused person, Akanni Afolabi, from Abuja to
Ekiti after which he took six pages of several newspapers on frivolous adverts
to publish court records on the accused’s bail application and topped it with
the donation of a new car to same Akanni, who is still under investigation over
several criminal cases.
“Fayose has appointed himself national opposition leader just
because he wants to help himself in his many criminal cases against the
nation’s law,” it said.
Neither the governor, nor his aides or the state government had
yet responded to the APC statement.
