Ekiti State Governor-Elect, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has blasted Lagos-based legal practitioner, Mr Femi Falana (SAN) over his comment that some people have perfected plans to flee the state after the inauguration of the governor-elect.
In the statement made available to newsmen by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi,in Ado Ekiti Tuesday,the governor-elect described the lawyers and his co-travelers as propagandists.
Adelusi said, “Ekiti people who elected Fayose and preferred him over and above Falana’s lackey, are waiting for his coming and for the four years he will lead the state.
” We know for sure that as our Lord lives, that expectation will not be cut short.
“Ekiti is as peaceful as any other state, it is people like Falana who are beating the drum of war and propaganda that are having nightmares and sleepless nights over the return of Fayose as the governor of the state.
“Those causing trouble in the state in the last two weeks are leaders of the All Progressives Congress and their thugs. If people like Jaruu and Apase, who have murder cases hanging on their necks, are leaving the state, security agencies know how to handle their cases.
“If trouble makers and people that the Bible calls ‘the troublers of Israel’ are relocating, then, it is good riddance to bad rubbish.
“If those who have looted the state’s treasury and are afraid of probe have decided to relocate, they should know that the long arm of the law will catch up with them.
“It is common sense that it is only the guilty that are afraid. Anybody who does not have any skeleton in his cupboard will not be running helter skelter when nobody is pursuing him.
“Falana and his cohorts should know that they are not in any way better than thousands of Ekiti teachers, artisans, bike riders, businessmen, council workers, professionals and others who cast their votes for Fayose to lead them for the next four years,” he added.
“The good people of Ekiti and Nigerians do not need to exert pressure on just a cell in their brains to think about such claims.
They have better things to think about. We only hope APC and its sympathisers will come back from their dream land and face the reality on ground”.
