This is to achieve their plan to humiliate the<br \/>\ngovernor and portray him in bad light to the public by dramatising his<br \/>\narrest.<\/p>\n<p>Nigerians can recall that it was the governor who offered to submit<br \/>\nhimself to the EFCC despite the commission\u2019s clear display of bias and<br \/>\npartisanship as demonstrated in its various actions, especially its<br \/>\ntweets and putting the governor on security watch-list.<\/p>\n<p>The EFCC even unprofessionally showed its bias in deriding the governor,<br \/>\nmaking light of a very serious matter by mocking him and asking him to<br \/>\ncome before his tenure elapsed, which the governor declined in line with<br \/>\nthe constitutional immunity.<\/p>\n<p>It is now beyond dispute that Governor Fayose is not a scoundrel running<br \/>\naway from justice. Whatever the EFCC, APC, and the Presidency\u2019s<br \/>\nspin-doctors may say, it is also clear to everyone that Fayose is not a<br \/>\ncoward; neither is he afraid of the EFCC.<\/p>\n<p>Fayose is prepared and ready to defend himself in the court of law.<br \/>\nNeither the Presidency nor EFCC is a court of law. Since the EFCC said<br \/>\nit had dusted up Fayose\u2019s files, it should be ready to take him to court<br \/>\nonce he presents him at the agency\u2019s office on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Fayose has offered to walk to the EFCC office by himself and<br \/>\nnothing must happen to him tonight. The PDP condemns this resort to<br \/>\nfascism by the APC government, saying the whole world should be at alert<br \/>\nto see another demonstration of crude disrespect for the rule of law and<br \/>\nrights of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m8753555734366666152\" class=\"mail-message\">\n<div class=\"mail-message-header spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the Presidency has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to incarcerate, indefinitely, the outgoing governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
