Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere in
Ekiti state, has asked the state governor, Ayo Fayose, to desist from his
continuous attack on President Buhari and face governance in his state. Fayose
who is a chieftain of PDP, has been very critical of the Buhari-led
administration.
Few days ago, he called for the resignation of President Buhari over his failing health. In a statement released by the its chairman, Yemi Alade, and Publicity Secretary, Biodun Akin-Fasae, the group described Fayose as a parrot who must talk at all times. They asked him to face the issues confronting his state, particularly the lingering fuel scarcity owing to his dispute with Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN. The statement in part reads

“It is shameful that Ekiti has become a butt of
uncanny jokes and fast sliding to be a pariah among other states in Nigeria
despite its God-given endowments. Currently the economic activities of the
state has run berserk due to executive misapplication of strategic management
of human and business relationship. Now, no one is sure of what happens next
because of the misunderstanding between government and fuel marketers which has
now degenerated into chaos. And this has been going on for two full weeks
now and unfortunately, government is feeling comfortable and justifying its
strategy by pulling down several of the fuel stations for flimsy excuse which
not a few have interpreted as mere political vendetta and mere braggadocio on
the part of the government. Our suggestion is that impunity to destroy economic
livelihood of people should stop because we believe that no fuel marketer
approved for himself the construction of any filling station. Government did.
And if government would now change its mind, then a process of discussion and
negotiation should be put in place rather than just breaking of the extant
laws. This is what is called executive recklessness and this is very
unacceptable. We wonder the whereabouts of Governor Ayo Fayose during the
celebration of Democracy Day, a national activity. He was conspicuously absent
from Ekiti for days only to resurface to abuse President Muhammadu Buhari
requesting him to resign because of ill-health.”
“Our governor is now a parrot who must talk at all
times in and out of season; we believe that Mr. Governor should devote more
time to think on how to move Ekiti forward instead of focusing and dissipating
his energy on irrelevant issues. Afenifere also wish to sympathize with Ekiti
workers that none of whom has received any salary this year, some since October
2016. And yet the governor feels unconcerned so far he can dole out a thousand
Naira and a cup of rice to the famished workers in the name of his stomach
infrastructure, which many have described as a fraud.”
