PRESS RELEASE: No Regrets Supporting Jonathan – Ekiti Governor Fayose

[Mobolaji Aluko]

My People:

(Thumbing through a thesaurus...) Here it is...hubris!

(Thumbing through a dictionary...) Here it is, confirming the meaning of "hubris."

The fact of the matter is that his famous/famed support for President GEJ is not the matter at hand at all, but rather his unconstitutional brigandage (since winning the Governorship) in not permitting 19 Lawmakers to do their constitutional duty - which includes trying to impeach him -  in my state, and rather siding with 6 Lawmakers to "govern" the state, financially and otherwise,  illegally.   He has also "sacked" the Judiciary in the state, tearing black robes in the process.

Sacking lawmakers was not ticked on the ballot by voters. 

It is as simple as that....yes....as simple as that.

And there you have it.

PRESS RELEASE:   No Regrets Supporting Jonathan – Fayose

It has become imperative once again to address the media on the constitutional and political crises being foisted on our dear State, Ekiti by irritants of unbridled ambitions, who are not only devoid of spirit of sportsmanship but implacable even when all odds are against them and roundly rejected by the good people of the state. 

It is no longer news that I defeated an incumbent governor in all the 16 Local Government Areas in the State and that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, attempts were made to use the courts to prevent someone who clearly won a governorship election from assuming office.

Since June 21, 2014 that the All Progressives Congress (APC) suffered that humiliating defeat, the party has suffered defeats in the entire local government areas in Ekiti State in four other elections, the latest being the House of Assembly election in which APC won no single seat out of the 26 seats.

Ekiti people have been persistent in their preference for me and my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to correct the ills of the last four years and set the State on the path of greatness.

Despite that Ekiti people have consistently spoken with their votes against the APC, Nigerians are witnesses to the litany of illegalities being woven by both the national leadership of the party and its Ekiti State chapter, all in an attempt to rob Ekiti people of the mandate freely given to me.

Despite receiving bloodied nose in both the political and judicial arena in the hands of the Ekiti masses as represented by me, these desperate politicians are unrelenting in their shenanigans, the latest being the information at my disposal that even after May 29, the state would not know peace.

I however trust Ekiti people to do what is right in securing peace in their land.

I have been severally informed that I became the prime demolition target of the APC national leadership because of my overt and unalloyed support for President Goodluck Jonathan during the campaigns.

Insiders in their party also told me that APC leaders were also yet to get over the fact that in the entire South-West, Ekiti was the only state they could not “rob” for General Mohammed Buhari (rtd). The eagle-eyed surveillance of Ekiti people ensured that.

I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and administration was not about bread-and-butter. I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.

Let me state It clearly that if President Jonathan is deserted by all Nigerians today, I, Ayodele Fayose, would remain with him. I have chosen to be his last-man standing.

If for this show of loyalty to Mr President and my party, APC and its leaders believe that the best way to pay me back is to make Ekiti ungovernable, the decision on appropriate reaction belongs to the people, whose mandate I keep in trust.

It is ironic that those who said worse things about the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) when they were in opposing parties, are the ones milling around him today, using him as an electoral talisman and demonizing us for saying things of lesser magnitude during a campaign that was mainly characterized by hate-messages from both divides.

I also want to put on record that if all PDP members decamp to APC today, I will remain the last-man standing for the party, even as I have no cause to denigrate the office of the president.

I also promise APC a robust and engaging opposition both in the South-West, and nationally, with me playing a prominent role.

Let me again state that I will continue to seek peace with my traducers and troublers of Ekiti.

Since the Supreme Court judgement which held my 2006 impeachment as illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect, my preachings have been peace. This is to see if a hand of fellowship as urged by elders in the state and the nation at large would bring sanity to the opposition camp. It definitely has nothing to do with cowardice; as Ekiti is a land of the brave.

In alerting the international community on what to expect from May 29 as regards the threat by the APC to make Ekiti ungovernable, I have decided to put on notice the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29.

Since Ekiti people are certain to resist the planned plundering of their land, Nigerians and the world at large should know who to hold responsible in the event of anarchy in Ekiti State in particular and the entire Yorubaland.

God bless our land.

Ayo Fayose,

Governor, Ekiti State

Do you not have an ax to grind with Fayose for the basic fact that he defeated a friend of yours?   In any case,  Ekiti people deserve what they get.  He was voted to power in the sole basis that the governor before him did not share the wealth locally..   No bi so !

Bolaji, some of you really have to accept that the highest court in the land has spoken and the shenanigans of the outgoing 19 house members should stop.  Ekiti people threw all of them out.  This is the problem with APC, they don't know how to accept defeat.  None of the defeated APC governorship candidates has seen it fit to concede and congratulate.  What is wrong with you people, really bizarre.

Why not join the 19 lawmakers by going to Ado Ekiti?

Hopefully, you'd be alive to tell your story!

Okey:

You often surprise me by your unbridled partisanship.  During this election period, I bit my finger not to respond to some of your strange interventions.

But on this matter of Ekiti, I shall respond briefly.

Fayose was elected back in April 2014 and became Governor in October.  All that time he knew that this APC-dominated State Assembly would be there till June 2015.   Tell me:  did his election eliminate the prior election and mandate of these State Assembly members to the extent that:

(1). Fayose shut them out from the HOA building

(2. Stopped their salaries

(3). Sponsored six members to impeach the Speaker and instal his puppet Speaker, with a rump Assembly approving his budget, etc

(4). Sent thugs after each of them, hounding them out of the state, such that they could not campaign for their own seats;

(5). Sack the Judiciary to preventi a particular hearing that you want to prevent?

All because he feared that they would not cooperate with him and/or impeach him, which is part of their Constitutional duty, even if you or I do not like it.

Come on, Where are your true democratic credentials, Okey?  If we don't like divided Execo and Legislature, then we should change the law.

I do not know what anybody wants the 19 lawmakers to do BEFORE. Fayose recognizes their power, which he has just recognized  to include impeachment once again, when he is now running from pillar to post, because he initially thought it was a joke.  They have listed ten of fences against him, none of which he can deny running afoul of.

Yes, he won the Governorship - by the way, that is not one of the impeachable offense - but he was not on the ballot in all the other elections, and truncating the powers of the 19 Lawmakers or sacking them were not on the ballot either.  So all his boasts about winning this or that election beyond the Govership is of no moment whatsoever.

Also, all his whining about his support for President Jonathan has not been the issue at all in this matter.  He merely used that as a shield - and now see where he is.

The fact of the matter is that Fayose  is a bad virus to us our Ekiti people, which may be with us for one more month, or afflicting us for four more years less six months.  His problem is post-partisanship, and is a question of egregious character.   He is a blight on our political landscape, as he stands left of mid left between the stubborn rusticity and equally stubborn (but more aloof) intellectualism of many Ekiti people.   Whichever be the case, this virus shall not kill us, and all this, Fayose inclusive, shall pass away.  

The hubris that he displayed in the Press Release below exhibits in broad daylight his problem.  Was supporting Jonathan his problem when he was "impeached" the first time around?  Or was his support for Obasanjo, who is now his worst enemy that he abuses on every occasion?

Absolutely not.

And there you have it.

E pele Great Mazini, l can see you are still hurting.....dats issokay, times heals wounds of the mind, you and other Jonathanians will eventually be alright sir and for now,  your Fayose can continue to play Mario till May 29th but be rest assured  that his last day in office as Governor will probably be on June 3rd or 4th and after that the Prof. and other peace loving people of Ekiti will be able to walk freely on the street of Ado-Ekiti.

Ogbuefi:

Laolu Akande has adequately responded to you on mutual respect for mandates, with those of the 19 lawmakers coming three years before that of the Governor, with the latter not overawing the former.

Not being an APC member, I have no hand in the party's attitude toward defeat.  However, a fact check on your broadside shows that in the seven states not won on April 11 by APC:

(1). Elections are yet inconclusive in Taraba, Abia and Imo, and will be completed this Saturday.

(2). In Gombe, all candidates have congratulated PDP's Dankwambo

(3). In Cross-River, it is the LP candidate that is raking, not the APC candidate.

(4). Ditto in Enugu: I don't believe that it is APC that is complaining.

(5). That leaves only Rivers State, where APC's Dakuku is fixing to go to the Tribunal against PDP's Wike.

So when did one APC candidate contesting suddenly become multiple? Biko, who can help Ogbuefi here?

Finally, in these elections, I support ALL unhappy losers to go to Tribunal, but LIMIT their prayers to CANCELLATION rather than DECLARATION of WINNER. In that case, there will be a lot of surprises.

And there you have it.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Nothing short of impeachment and removal from office, of governor Ayo Fayose,  will suffice for justice in Ekiti state. I have no idea what the 19 legislators are cowardly waiting for in removing this scum bag who shamed Ekiti state and the post of governor.

Fayose has demeaned every institution in Ekiti state; he should be impeached and removed before May 29, 2015, else he will consider himself above the law. The 19 legislators must go back to Ekiti and do their job. If Fayose starts trouble with thugs, president Jonathan, who he swindled by using money meant for his reelection to purchase property in Dubai, will declare a state of Emergency (that will include removing the governor) in Ekiti state. The legislators should stop being cowards by running away from this bus conductor turned governor. 

Fayose desecrated the traditional rulers (by turning them into his errand boys); he desecrated the judiciary by vandalizing the courts, physically manhandling judges (one judge, at least), preventing a judge from issuing a decision, etc; he desecrated the legislature by practically sacking the members he did not like and who are in the majority. He has been accused of all sorts of criminal behaviors, including murder, yet he straddles around Nigeria like an untouchable. What else will Fayose do before the Ekiti legislature does its job of impeaching and kicking him out of office?

Adding to his invincibility is the Supreme Court's cowardly and inexplicable declaration that his impeachment was unconstitutional, even though that was not a matter before it, and used that stupid conclusion to validate his constitutional prohibition from running for governor due his indictment by a Tribunal. 

It's time that Nigerians understood that their Supreme Court is made up of cowardly, purchasable, and incompetent justices. The US Supreme Court would have relished an opportunity of the sort given to the Nigerian Supreme Court on Fayose; its decision would have been without regards to anything other than the law. The Nigerian Supreme Court, just as it shamefully did during Ibori's case (of having been convicted in the 1990s by an Abuja court for theft), shamed themselves by making up a stupid excuse just to not declare that Ayo Fayose was not eligible to run for governor when he did so. 

The only solution to Fayose lies with the Ekiti legislature and they must fulfil their obligation by removing this animal who masquerades as governor. If they fail to do that before leaving office, they will go down in history as the worst cowards to come out of Yorobaland.

Bobaseye,

You know that I never supported Fayose. And, I am not his fan now either.

However, choosing between a "thug Fayose" and an educated Professor Aluko, I will gladly choose Fayose.

Aluko is a bag carrier for Tinubu, a mouthpiece of the APC and a haughty spoilt brat who sees himself as a privileged scion of the Aluko family. His condescending attitude towards Fayose and unreasonable belief that the mass of Ekiti cannot be right in preferring Fayose above the Tinubu Ajele is laughable.

I am not hurting from Jonathan's "loss". Yes, I'd rather have it the other way for the sole reason that Tinubu and his APC are trading with the Yoruba future. They are political merchants and Aluko belongs to their intellectual arm. Aluko is an intellectual merchant. A mercenary of sorts. Repugnant to all right thinking folks.

Just because ‎the Supreme Court would not pronounce a judgment on Fayose as Nebu would obviously desire. 

Nebu feels the president has the power to remove a governor from office using emergency powers but he didn't remember to quote the section of the constitution where that power can be found. 

And that Fayose should be impeached for "desecrating the traditional rulers (by turning them to his errand boys)"

Will this assertion be based on a complaint by the traditional rulers that they're now Fayose’s "errand boys" or on the complaint of those crying more than the bereaved? 

...And other unproven allegations.  

And someone feels Nebu is "eloquent" on this matter! Some eloquence! Lol.

I do not think yours below is fair to Prof Aluko. For someone who, within the context of Nigeria, has a privileged background I find him very hardworking, very smart and public spirited. We disagree a lot but I don't find him haughty at all ---at least not to me and I have interacted with him personally on occasions. These are not the traits of a spoilt brat. 

If it were my state I wouldn't choose Fayose over Aluko for sure.  But I have no vote in Ekiti

Joe Attueyi:

Thanks for your testimony on my behalf....much appreciated. I was tempted to respond in a Teachable Moment (of yore) to Onions, but I relented, knowing that it would be like casting pearls before swine.

For one, at 60, I can no longer be called a brat, and certainly not a spoilt one with all the limited personal and professional success that I have attained on three continents so far....and God is not finished with me yet, I pray.

Secondly, privilege - which my farmer-grandfather did not have, but which my renowned-professor-father earned and conferred on his progeny - has its responsibilities, and I take those responsibilities very seriously, but without apology. If that privilege imbues Onifade with either envy or jealousy, he should get over it; but note that it cannot be bought, and if he works hard, but differently from his present rabble-rousing trajectory, he can confer privilege to his family.

Thirdly, Asiwaju Tinubu and I have mutual admiration since pro-democracy times pre-Asiwaju, but I do not operate in his or any political circles. The last time I spent more than thirty minutes with him was at Obama's first inauguration in Maryland USA. He is just about a year or so older than myself, and so I could not be his bag-carrier.

As to being an APC spokesman, that is unfair to APC, when I carry no card, and Lai Mohammed (a friend from Great Ife days) and Shehu Garba did such a good job, just as Fani-Kayode and Okupe, not to talk of Abati, did for PDP.

Furthermore, the definition of an intellectual is one who earns his money/living using his intellect. Thus all intellectuals are merchants of sorts. However if Onifade's merhanthood is pejorative to mean "prostitute", I reject the label IJN.

Finally, Onifade hyberbolitically  stated that he would choose Fayose over me. Fair enough...but I remind him that there was once an "election" in Heaven, and that is when all hell literally broke loose. That is what we are facing in Ekiti with both of Fayose's elections.

And there you have it. I have deliberately cast no pearls before Onifade.

Thanks again, Joe.

Kola, 

I disagree with your biased rating of Prof Aluko. I think only a very sick mind would compare the don to an erratic man like Ayo Fayose who many Nigerians see as the stormy petrel of Ekiti politics . 

In spite of the fact that the professor was employed by the regime of Goodluck Jonathan, he has remained a balanced analyst who doesn't support  or condemn any of our political parties and I have never read any of his recent comments where he wrote in support of Bola Tinubu.

Ah; VC Bolaji Aluko, is the above bombshell true?

Fayose said this,

Quote

I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and administration was not about bread-and-butter. I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.

 

Let me state It clearly that if President Jonathan is deserted by all Nigerians today, I, Ayodele Fayose, would remain with him. I have chosen to be his last-man standing.

Unquote

Gov. Fayose is the "genuine article" the real deal. He cannot back down as PDP needs a new leader to take on the gloom and doom that is about to befall Nigeria by the leader of the APC, Buhari, a legitimate Despot, and a recognize thief, a bonafide murderer of democracy in 1983, and now president-elect by votes tallied by the head of INEC, Alhaji Jega to be less than 16 millions in a country with more than 173 millions  in population, according to the world bank. The point, less than 1 person out of 10 persons in Nigeria voted for Buhari, Hehehehe! 

Fayose's action including his CHOICE of whom to support and advocate for is his RIGHT, regardless of how you feel or whether you like it or not. Nigeria does not belong to ANYONE, definitely not to Fayose or to Buhari, yes not to moi, as well. 

God will give Fayose the strength to fight his fight, as we, yes the rest of us, fight our fights. God bless. Sai Iguade (for real Sai Gaskiya)

[Wilson Iguade]

Nothing short of impeachment and removal from office of a prospective president of the federal republic of Nigeria will suffice for justice in Nigeria, given that Alhaji Jega of INEC rigged Buhari into office.

When is Alhaji Jega going to report his "findings" of the hackers on INEC's computers on the presidential Election Day? Can Alhaji Jega explain to us, Nigerians, why under 30 million Nigerians voted for ALL the presidential candidates COMBINED? 

When the same Alhaji Jega told us, Nigerians, that more than 45 millions Nigerians voted in 2003, 2007, and 2011. This is a decline or fucking decrease of 33% ( -33%). 

Whatzup with that Alhaji Jega? Alhaji Jega, please come and brag to Nigerians that you are proud of your performance that clearly indicated under your WATCH, when you are suppose to be increasing voters' participation, your records show MAJOR decline of at least -33%, and this is viewing the data INEC generated generously. 

Fayose was elected just like Buhari was elected, the "policy" of making Fayose's administration ungovernable will only ensure that the policy of ungovernability extends to the Buhari administration. Hence, my continued advocate that the strategy to IMPEACH Buhari or overthrow him just the way he overthrew Shagari's government must be cooked up now before May 29, 2015.

Buharism! Is oppression of the masses and it must be opposed intoto and defeated instantly. Am begging NASS to please design the road map to IMPEACH president-elect Buhari for the good of the country. Stay tuned. Sai Iguade

Nothing funny there, above is similar to the saying - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. One man's eloquence could be another's disdain or non-eloquence. This is natural. 

My point, it is obvious these men disagree on what is eloquence to them. Peace be with y'all. Sai Iguade

I was attracted by this statement,

Quote

All because he feared that they would not cooperate with him and/or impeach him, which is part of their Constitutional duty, even if you or I do not like it.

Come on, Where are your true democratic credentials, Okey?  

Unquote 

Response: With all due respect, Fayose also has constitutional duties, and there is nothing that stops these or those lawmakers that feel injustice by Fayose's ACTION to go to Court. 

The truth is the best political side in Ekiti will win! Lord have mercy!

Above is my democratic credentials, justice is delivered by the legal authorities in the society based on established and conspicuous protocols under the law. 

Yes, we are entitled to our opinions, but those opinions from time to time must be tested in the Courts for justice to prevail. So, the question now is, which side will go to Court?

Vin:

No single rational Nigerian should have any regrets about which candidates
or political parties he or she  supported in the March 28 and April 11 elections, as long as t
his/her choices were based on what he/she truly believed was in the best interest of moving
Nigeria forward and not merely based on ethnic, religious, personal gains or other selfish
considerations.

No matter how qualified the candidates are there must be winners and losers at the end
of the elections.

This is not the time to be belly-aching or chest beating about our choices. You lose some and you win some.
This is the time to rally round the incoming administration and ensure that we do our best
as Nigerian citizens to make it succeed.

Fayose and his ilk  should not impress most reasonable and peace loving Nigerians who are looking for
civilized governance in the land and not governance by thuggery.

For every Nigerian who is chest beating about NOT having any regrets
for supporting Jonathan there would undoubtedly be another Nigerian who could also boast
about NOT having any regrets for NOT  supporting Jonathan.  As you are aware the latter
outnumber the former by 2 to 3 million.

President Jonathan has tried his best governing Nigeria for 6 years. By all accounts, he is a decent man.
He lost the elections because the majority of the Nigerian electorate decided that they wanted CHANGE
because they felt that his best efforts were not achieving the desired results.

Jonathan is a very lucky human being who rose from austere circumstances and with barely average
leadership and managerial skills to ascend to the topmost leadership political position in Nigeria, a complex nation of over
170 million human beings belonging to over 250 distinct ethnic groups, each with its own hydra headed socio-economic problems.

Like all great leaders worldwide Jonathan conceded defeat and agreed to step aside unlike most other African leaders.
This simple act of stepping conceding defeat would rank amongst the top of Jonathan's accomplishments during his Presidency.

Jonathan is stil a young man. We should let him retire to Otueke or anywhere else in Nigeria he wishes to live
so he could write his memos, build a Presidential Library and play a statesman not only in Nigeria but on the world
stage for the rest of his life.

Alternatively, President might chose to live outside Nigeria and join the millions of the Diaspora Nigerians living and working 
in other countries.
Any one of NIDO A, NIDO Africa, NIDO E, or NIDO Asia would welcome his membership and that of Dame Patience Jonathan and
the other members of the Jonathan family!

Bye,

Ola

[hammed hassan]

Mr. Fayose,
Do you have any regrets of all the shits that you said against GMB...we start from here...
your suffer never begins o.....waallah....you will run....

Bolaji, some of you really have to accept that the highest court in the land h a s spoken and the shenanigans of the outgoing 19 house members should stop.  Elite people threw all of them.  This is the problem with APC, they don't know how to accept defeat.  None of the defeated APC governorship candidates has seen it fit to concede and congratulate.  What is wrong with you people, really bizarre.
