Call Fayose To Order, APC Group Urges Buhari

The Action Group of the All Progressives Congress (APC-AG) has pleaded with Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, to call Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, to order for peace and the rule of law to reign in the state. The group, in a statement by its spokesperson, Segun Dipe, said Fayose’s actions are becoming embarrassing in a manner that could force members of the opposition in the state to resort to self-help, should the federal government refuse to intervene. According to Dipe, the governor has made ‘fascism’ an acceptable style of governance in Ekiti, citing recent arrests and alleged false detention by the men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Leader of the state’s market women, Madam Waye Osho, as one of many events that portray him as such. “What could Madam Osho, a market woman, have done to deserve such treatment? We make bold to say that her only offence was her refusal to port from APC to PDP. And the onus of proof that her arrest was not for a vendetta reason is on the state governor,” Dipe boted. “As at the time of writing, we notice that soldiers still mount road blocks on Ekiti roads in defiance of the order of the President and Commander-In-Chief of the armed Forces that soldiers should leave our highways. “Ekiti is part of the federal republic of Nigeria and to create fascism within it is unacceptable. The thinking of our people was that they would have a new lease of life with the emergence of President Buhari, but rather, impunity has worsened in the state,” the group further noted.
