Fear of life after May 29 handover date makes Fayose more desperate than Jonathan - Fayemi blasts Fayose

Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has alleged that Governor Ayo Fayose is one of the few cabals plotting to thwart the general elections.

Featuring on a live programme, on Adaba FM, christened, “APC Change Hour”, monitored by Daily Independent in Ado-Ekiti, Fayemi said Fayose is more desperate than President Goodluck Jonathan, who is seeking re-election.

He explained that Fayose is prepared to do anything to ensure the re-election of Jonathan in the presidential election.

According to him, the recent political activities of his successor (Fayose), Fayemi said the governor is desperate because he (Fayose) is fighting a battle of his life because of alleged atrocities recently committed.

His words: “Fayose is fighting for his life. He is more desperate than Jonathan and he believes that all his atrocities will come to haunt him. The judges that were beaten; the legislature that was sacked, the civil servants that were harassed.

“They are now using the military to rig elections and Nigerians must be vigilant. It is when the situation cannot be handled by the Police that you call in the military.

“If you hear what Captain Koli said, he said they were given instructions (to rig Ekiti polls). Chris Uba, who is not a military officer giving order to military officers.

“It was soldiers that drove vehicles that conveyed PDP members to arrest APC members. Our members were arrested and they were not released until the election was over.”

He said the postponement was about a “desperate government and a desperate President that is afraid of a loss and using a military that became a willing tool.”

The former governor said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led administration was trying to re-enact the rigging perpetrated in Ekiti with the alleged misuse of the military at the forthcoming general elections.

Fayemi stressed that the upper echelon of the military was guilty of treason against the state with its role in the dramatic postponement of the polls, saying the first duty of the government through the armed forces is security of lives and property.

He deplored a situation in which the military institution has been desecrated in which army generals are being harassed and intimidated by politicians desperate to rig elections for their party.
