Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has lamented that the
All Progressives Congress (APC) government was pushing Nigeria to a
state of total destruction, noting that there was no how people who
can not manage the affairs of their own party and immediate family
will be able to manage the affairs of a country.
According to a statement on Sunday, signed by his Spokesperson, Lere
Olayinka, the former governor lamented that the country was bleeding
seriously, with democracy being threatened because of the rudderless
people making and implementing policies for the nation.
Fayose, who called on all Nigerians to rise and salvage the country
from the All Progressives Congress (APC), said “recent happenings in
the APC, especially concerning Edo State and Ondo States are pointers
to the fact that the country is under the government of a rudderless
a party that is heading so fast towards the rocks.
“Gold is only sold to those who know the worth. Sadly, Nigeria is
currently being managed by strange bird fellows, who took the country
by conspiracy and deception.
“Now, our country is bleeding seriously and we must salvage it
together,” Fayose said.
Speaking further, the former governor said; “What is happening to the
APC in Edo and Ondo State is a pointer to the helpless situation that
our country is now. Imagine a sitting deputy governor being harassed
by the commissioner of police right inside the government house.
“Even if the deputy governor is decamping to another party, does that
give the Police Commissioner the right to hold him hostage? Is there any
the law in this country, permitting police to prevent a deputy governor
from using his official vehicles just because he is changing political
party?
“That’s the level of threat that democracy is facing in our country
under this APC and sadly, the President who should be the leader of
the party cannot manage his immediate family not to talk of managing
his party or the affairs of the nation.
“A president who could not even prevent shooting spree right inside
the presidential villa, the seat of power in Nigeria.
“I foretold all these and I want to reiterate that it will get messier
unless Nigerians rise and take their destinies in their own hands.”
