Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose yesterday said his government would soon expose past presidents that ruled the nation since 1999 “to show Nigerian leaders in their true colours.”
Speaking at a news conference in Lagos yesterday, he said: “We are going to release a lot of things. They have attempted to cow everybody and that is why they are sponsoring the anti-Social Media Bill in the National Assembly.
They want to cow the press and the people. I am surprised that the media is quiet about this bill. The press can’t talk again, they are afraid and it shouldn’t be so.”
Fayose said the military panel set up to probe the role of the military in the last general election in Ekiti State was a hatchet job targeted at his administration.
“The Major General Adeniyi Oyebade military panel is intended to do a hatchet job. They have a target but we are waiting for them. They are after me but I am prepared for them. I am the Governor of Ekiti State. I have history, I have record. Any attempt to invade my state will be resisted”, he said.
“The day Buhari singles me out, his government will crumble. They have attempted to impeach me, but they didn’t succeed. They disturbed my swearing-in ceremony and they failed. They now set up a military panel to upturn what the Supreme Court has decided in my favour. We are waiting for them”, he added.
He said he neither had any regret nor apology for constantly crisiticising President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that it was only those that promoted and supported the emergence of the president that were now regretting their action in silence. He said next year, 16 things would happen under this government which Nigerians must prepare for.
“There will be disobedience to court order, there will be removal of oil subsidy in first quarter, there will be low power generation compared to what was being generated, and there will be low earnings. Nigerians should better prepare for these and more,” he said.
Also speaking at the briefing, Ekiti State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Owoseni Ajayi, said it had been brought to the attention of the state government that the purpose of the military panel was to prepare a platform for the defeated APC in Ekiti State to have an opportunity to approach the courts on the basis of the panel’s opinion, in an attempt to cause a revisit of the final decision.
“The fixation to control and win all states of the federation at all costs, irrespective of the wishes of the people of those states is a clear and present a danger to our democracy,” he said.
The Attorney-General urged the National Assembly to exercise its oversight functions, noting that the June 21, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State had been concluded at the Supreme Court.
