Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has denied ever saying he would take his life if President Muhammadu Buhari returned to Nigeria alive.
The governor made the denial on Monday, August 21, in reaction to a statement credited to him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state that he had vowed to kill himself if the president returns to the country.
The chief press secretary to the governor, Idowu Adelusi, told Premium Times that the statement was a creation of the APC in the state. He said: “Mr. Fayose never said he would commit suic*de if the President returns to the country.
“It is the creation of the APC. It is their style to create such falsehood. “Instead, the governor had wished the president well and had joined others in praying for him.”
In reaction to this, the residents of Ekiti State while celebrating the return of President Buhari, seized the opportunity to protest against Governor Fayose over his critical Statements on the health condition of President Buhari while he was in London.
The protesters who marched from Oke Iyinmi to the All People Congress secretariat, chanting various songs to deride Mr Fayose and the Peoples Democratic Party include APC supporters, civil society groups, artisans and commercial motorcyclists.
They asked the governor to produce the 11 photos he claimed to have of the President on life support, insisting that he either does the former or resign from office.
The procession also created traffic along Ijigbo and Ajilosun area, making vehicular movements difficult. Addressing people at the rally, APC’s acting chairman in the state, Kemi Olaleye, said God had shamed those wishing the president dead.
She also appealed to Governor Fayose to make real his alleged threat of taking his own life if the president returns alive. “Mr. Fayose has turned himself to propaganda-in-chief, but we are happy that God has shamed those who thought President Buhari won’t return alive. With this rally, the end has come to Governor Fayose’s reign in Ekiti,” she said.
“The good people of this state are not in support of Fayose’s action, because we are cultured and compassionate people. “Look at the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, he went to Abuja to welcome the president back to Nigeria. That was a show of maturity, why was our governor not learning from this?
“We are solidly behind President Buhari even beyond 2019. And we are pleading with Nigerians to discountenance whatever Fayose has been saying against the president. He was not speaking for us, he only spoke for himself.”
She also added that Ekiti people are tired of ‘one day, one trouble’ under Mr. Fayose.
