CONFERENCE of Nigerian Political Parties have frowned at the State governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose by protesting along major streets in Ado-Ekiti accusing him of taking advantage of the immunity provided for the office of state governors to engage in all manner of corrupt practices.
The protesters, chanting
anti-government songs, are demanding among others for immediate resignation of
the governor as well as urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) to follow up their investigation on the governor irrespective of the
immunity clause...
The protesters
with diverse placards of which some read, “Fayose, Resign and face the law”;
Fayose, yor cup is full again”; were displayed by members of various political
parties that made up the CNPP and other civil groups.
Addressing the
aggrieved citizens, Kemi Olaleye, chairperson of the group, alleged that the
governor has been using his immunity to enrich himself at the detriment of the
poor masses in the state adding that the governor resorted to all manner of personal
attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari to divert attention of the people of the
state.
She therefore challenged
Fayose to waive his immunity and submit himself to the anti-graft agencies for
trial if he believes it was politically-motivated.
It will be
recalled that this is the second time in two weeks that residents of Ado-Ekiti
will witness such development.
