Fayose blasts Gov. Fayemi, APC after being booed in church
The immediate
past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has slammed his successor, Kayode
Fayemi, after he (Fayose) was booed in church in the state yesterday.
Fayose was
booed in the church where the wedding ceremony of the daughter of Ewi of Ado
Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe was being held.
Fayose’s
Media Aide, Lere Olayinka in a statement following the incident, berated
Governor Fayemi and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, for invading
the Cathedral Church, Ado Ekiti with miscreants ostensibly to attack the former
Governor and his entourage.
Fayose said
it was funny that Fayemi’s response to the overwhelming reception he (Fayose)
received on Friday in Ikere and Ado Ekiti when he returned to the State exactly
two months after he left was to arrange miscreants to invade the house of God.
According to
Fayose, the miscreants attempted to carry out their assignment of booing Fayose
and calling him unprintable names but their voice was overwhelmed as hundreds
of people hailed the former governor as he entered the church.
Olayinka,
however, thanked Ekiti people for their continuous demonstration of love
towards Fayose.
He said,
“Rather than sending less than 15 miscreants to the house of God to boo Fayose,
Fayemi should either face the reality of his rejection by the people or engage
in actions that will make the people to love him.
“Even if the
governor and his party of thugs do not regard the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, shouldn’t
they have at least accorded the dignitaries who came from far and near to
honour the revered monarch respect by keeping their miscreants away from the
church?
“And rather
than achieving their sinister aim, Fayose entered the church amidst loud
ovation and this should get Fayemi and his men to begin to ask themselves what
they have done wrong instead of adding more salts to the injury of their
rejection by the people.
“Ekiti
people will continue to love Fayose because he served them well and most
importantly, he never distanced himself from them, counseling Fayemi to submit
himself to the authority of the people by acting as their servant instead of
his present display of power arrogance.”
