(OPINION) FAYEMIS ADMINISTRATION IS AS PUERILE AS THAT OF FAYOSE By Amuda Emmanuel Ekiti State is classified as the Fountain of Knowledge and Land of Honour. Ekiti State is known to be the source of elite people. As often said, the state has produced the highest number of professors and graduates all over Nigeria. Since 1999 Nigeria,the political atmosphere in Ekiti State has been turbulent. The state has been rated high and branded as the nucleus of vices such as murder, thuggery and other the related crimes in the South-West. I think the state full of professors should be a pace setter for her counterparts far and near, in terms of moral excellence and enviable governance. In politics, power is not subjected to any individual but a responsibility you earn as a result of peoples trust in your skills and ability to make life better. So peoples expectations from a true leader are mainly good plans for their future. If bloodshed is all that power entails, then who will remain to be governed when all are killed?. Let us assess Ekiti State Since Nigeria returned to Democracy in 1999 OTUNBA ADENIYI ADEBAYO AND ENGR.OLUSEGUN ONI During the regimes of Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Engr Segun Oni, these two men were said to have been Humble,Tolerant and Respectful. They allowed opposition in the state to carry on their lawful activities without obstruction. I can classify these two men as good citizens of Ekiti State. DR AYODELE FAYOSE AND DR KAYODE FAYEMI Dr Ayo Fayoses regime is similar to the Dr Kayode Fayemis administration in display of zero tolerance to opposition. Fayose,in his time, was highly resistant to opposition parties to the extent he was alleged of killing political bigwigs in the state. Fayose personally led thugs and securty operatives to disrupt the Alliance for Democracy(AD) programme at Mugbagba Area,Ado Ekiti,destroying several vehicles in the process. The death of Mr Tunde Omojola is still fresh in the memory of the people. Where is Dr Ayo Daramola, the PDP governorship aspirant and once world Bank consultant? I think Fayose is in the best position to explain his whereabouts. Our people were forced to kiss the dust because of their will to better the lives of people in their dear state. Coming to Dr Kayode Fayemis regime,I wonder how the so-called war manager came into being without human resource management training and relevant experience in the affairs of men. Suddenly, he came to power and was nicknamed the governor. His regime is as good as Fayoses. Birds of a feather...! Fayemi gained the seat of power through judicial pronouncement, nearly everyone jubilated thinking the messiah has come,not knowing that another Jagumolu had shown up in the state. All of a sudden,we discovered he and Fayose had become friends all in an attempt to unleash their ill ideas on Ekiti people. Now,his regime is rated the highest violence breathing and crime expanding medium to obstruct the peace of our loving people. November 15,2010 a month after Fayemi got the insignia of power,Chief Adeleye Awolumate a PDP chieftain in Osun Ekiti in Moba Local Government Area of the State was killed. March 23,2011,Mr Micheal Ipinlaye and Mr Kehinde Ayo Faluyi,PDP members in Kota Ekiti in Ekiti East Local Government were killed. March 31,2013,Mr Ayodele Jeje and Mrs Juliana Adewumi ACN members in Erinjiyan Ekiti in Ekiti West Local Government were killed. The duo were to have make their intention known to defect from ACN(Fayemis Party) to another political. Sooner ,it was reported that Mr Ayo Jeje died instantly and Mrs Juliana Adewumi mysteriously died a month later. All because they told their followers they wanted to go for greener pasture. August 23,2013,Mr Ola Fatokun,Mr Rasaki Bello and Mr Ige Adeola are members of APC (Fayemis Party) were attacked. at Iyin Ekiti, home town of Hon Micheal Opeyemi Bamidele(MOB).Bamidele who is one of the present member of the House of Representatives was attacked as well during the burial ceremony of Mrs Felicia Akinwumi,Mother of Mr Akinwumi while others sustained various degrees of injuries. September 19,2013 Fayemis Killers squad attacked Hon Micheal Opeyemi Bamidele(MOB) support group,Ekiti Bibiire Coalition while awaiting their loved MOB to openly declare his intention in the public to contest against Fayemi in 2014 governorship election in the state,at least 11 people were gruesomely attacked by Fayemis killers squad. Infact,it is a show of shame on Ekiti state government. It described a government that was totally against opposition,a government who actually may have been deceiving the entire people of the state. November 3,2013 Mr Foluso Ogundare a member of APC(Fayemis party) in Emure in Emure Local Government Area of the state was killed. Foluso Ogundare ,a member of MOB support group,Ekiti Bibiire Coalition,was wiped off by Fayemis killers squad at a meeting held in Ward 3 in Emure Ekiti and Mrs Beatrice Ige, sustained a lot of injuries and,shes currently struggling to regain her health in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital,Ado-Ekiti. In a related development,an Old Woman was stripped naked at Odo-Ado of Ado-Ekiti by this so-called blood shedding mercenaries nicknamed Fayems squad,all because she put on Ekiti Bibiire Coalition T-Shirt. I wonder how to characterize their form of politics. If bloodshed is all that power entails,then who will remain to be governed when all are killed? In fact,this same of set people launched series of protests against Fayose government in Ekiti state people like Mr Obafemi Ojudu(now Senator),Bar Femi Falana(SAN),Bar Morakinyo Ogele and so on,claimed to be human right activists and portrayed themselves as Saints in government,not knowing there were underline thirsts of powers in them. They all made victims out of the gullible masses. They perpetrated different evils and covered them, due to their strong influence with most of the media outfits in the South West. Where are the human rights activists who never see any good thing in the various programme and polices of the federal government? Where are the Femi Faslanas,Senator Babafemi Ojudus,Morakinyo Ogeles,Prof Akin Oyebode,Hon Dino Melayes,Liar Muhammeds and other self-styled activists? Where are the Elders of Ekiti who condemned Fayoses regime? They Have all gone on criminal silence? Politics of killing,thuggery,violence and assassination in our state must stop. May God liberate us from the shackles of intimidation,oppression and Tyranny. God Bless Ekiti State. Amuda Emmanuel Writes from Ikeja,Lagos
