Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, on Wednesday said he has uncovered a plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leaders to thrown his state into chaos as from May 29.
Fayose in a statement personally signed by him and made available to reporters in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, said he has put the United Nations, African Union and the international community on notice “on the imminent reign of impunity from that day.”
The governor said he was raising the alarm over an alleged threat by the APC to make the state ungovernable, maintaining that “Nigeria and the world at large should know who to hold responsible in the event of anarchy in the state in particular and Yoruba land in general.”
President Goodluck Jonathan who lost in the March 28 presidential election is expected to hand over to the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ran on the platform of the APC, on May 29.
Fayose is presently locked in a battle of wits with the APC members of the House of Assembly who have fired him a notice of impeachment alongside his deputy, Kolapo Olusola.
The 19 APC lawmakers who are in majority in the House accused Fayose of eight impeachable offences including “unconstitutional change of leadership of the Assembly, passing of Appropriation Bill and screening and ratifying commissioner nominees with seven Peoples democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers.
Fayose, who maintained that he has no regrets for supporting Jonathan to the best of his ability, said he has information that he is the “prime demolition target of the APC national leadership” for his unrelenting support for the President.
He claimed that “insiders” in the APC informed him that AP leaders are yet to get over the fact that Ekiti is the only state they could not win for Buhari in the entire Southwest region in the presidential poll.
The Ekiti governor vowed that he would never leave the PDP for any other party and would remain as the “last man standing.”
Fayose said: “It has become imperative once again to address the media on the constitutional and political crises being foisted on our dear state, Ekiti by irritants of unbridled ambitions, who are not only devoid of spirit of sportsmanship but implacable even when all odds are against them and roundly rejected by the good people of the state.
“It is no longer news that I defeated an incumbent governor in all the 16 local government areas in the state and that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, attempts were made to use the courts to prevent someone who clearly won a governorship election from assuming office.”
