Less than 24 hours after the former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose criticised the performance of the President Muhammadu Buhariโs led-federal government, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has chided the immediate past governor of Ekiti state.
APC Ekiti state chapter described the outburst of the former governor as not only laughable butย coming from a drowning sailor who would ordinarily want to hold on to every flimsy straw with the hope of survival.
This was contained in a statement released on Saturday, June 20 by the Director of Media and Publicity of the ruling party, Sam Oluwalana.
Oluwalana noted that Fayoseโs tactics to revive his dead image and relevance made him resort to destructive criticism of Buhariโs government for imaginary reasons.
Oluwalana allegedย that the ex-governor actionsย and anti-democratic tendencies led to the collapse of the Peopleโs Democratic Party in the state, describing Fayoseโs government as wasteful and season of locust.
โThe people of the state will not quickly forget how Fayoseโs administration equally crippled the functions of the judiciary, while his attorney general was always privy to any judgement to be delivered by judges, he even led some of his thugs to storm a court in session and physically beat up a presiding Judge.
โCan democracy be said to be thriving under this one-man show? Fayose has no moral right to criticize democratic practice in this country as he who demands equity must come with a clean hand,โ he asked rhetorically.
He further added that
โIt is on record that the mace of the assembly, which is the authority of the legislature was kept at the Government House while the lawmakers would have to seek permission from Fayose before convening any sitting.โ
