EKITI State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has urged Nigerians to ignore Governor Ayodele Fayose’s perceived seditious remarks threatening to bring down President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, claiming the Governor has been acting under psychological stress.
The party, which described the governor’s outburst as treasonable acts capable of threatening the survival of democracy in Nigeria, implored security agents to closely monitor him.
But in a swift reaction, Governor Fayose, described the allegation of treasonable comments made against him by the Ekiti APC as not only ridiculous but coming from an unsound mind.
Fayose had over the weekend in an interview with an online media, said if anything happened to him or his government over the military probe of June 21, 2014 governorship election in the state, that he would bring President Buhari’s government down.
Speaking through its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement, the party said, “We want to appeal to Nigerians around the world to see Fayose as a special breed with a special case of psychosis among Ekiti people and so he should be treated as a special man whose actions should not be equated to Ekiti standard of behaviour. Even with his special condition of mental torture that requires psychiatric management, we shall still urge the security agencies to watch the governor over his subversive activities within and outside the country and to act now to bring him under the law to account for his actions.
“We had earlier alerted the security agencies that Fayose stockpiled arms in the Government House with hundreds of criminals already trained in arms handling. The arms and ammunition are still there.
”We are telling the security agencies again with all sense of responsibility that Fayose is currently recruiting 10 thugs from each of the 16 local government to assemble at a training facility in Ifaki-Ekiti. Who he wants to attack with armed thugs, we don’t know, but we know he has already made Hilux vans available to them for initial operations.”
Fayose, in a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Asdelusi, said the tone of the press release by Olatubosun really showed his poor state of mind.
Berating the party, Fayose said “There is no point wrestling with a pig. For people with sound minds, they would, no doubt, wonder why somebody with a decent background and sound mind would refer to the governor of his state as needing psychiatric attention or not being able to survive in a law abiding society?
