Our ‘Governor of the year’, Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose is in the news again. This time he’s got an axe to grind against the EFCC, Mr. Femi Falana, Zenith Bank, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, his usual target, President Buhari and any other person or institution he suspects of wanting to get him indicted for his indiscretions. And he won’t spare any weapon at his disposal, including those of ‘mass destruction’, at demobilising these perceived foes of his.
The EFCC’s ‘unpardonable sin’ was that it froze Mr. Fayose’s Zenith Bank accounts as part of its investigation into the sum of N4.7 billion he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) during his election campaign in 2014. Mr. Fayose denies receiving any money from the ONSA. He also says that the EFCC has no right to investigate him as he is a serving governor, covered by immunity.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fayose’s campaign manager during the 2014 Ekiti governorship election, Dr. Tope Aluko, has come out to say that the election was rigged with the help of the security apparatus and that the said N4.7billion was flown in cash from Abuja to Ekiti through Akure. We also have the Ekitigate audio secretly recorded by Captain Koli in the public space to corroborate Dr. Aluko’s assertion. The Nigeria Army has since conducted a court martial which indicted all the soldiers involved in the same election scandal. Most of them have been summarily dismissed from service.
Characteristically, the Governor has responded not with the decorum expected of a public official but with a lousy defilement of the public space with his gangster behaviour and uncouth utterances rather than submit himself to the law and clear his name through the courts if he indeed believes that he has a case. Instead, he has attempted to throw mud at anyone or institution that could indict him. He accuses Zenith Bank of lying about the source of the money that was traced to his account but the bank has since denied that it contributed more than N50m to the campaign.
Mr. Fayose accuses the President of owning an estate in Abuja which he did not declare in his asset declaration form with the Code of Conduct Bureau, without any proof. This he says makes it untenable for the presidency or any of its agencies to investigate him since, according to him, the President is also corrupt.
The President’s wife is also not left out. He alleges that she was indicted in a bribe scandal that saw a former US congressman, William Jefferson, jailed. It has since emerged that she is not the same Aisha Buhari that was indicted. In anger, the president’s wife published a tweet in which she called Mr. Fayose a ‘mad dog’. She later deleted the tweet and had her lawyers write him a letter demanding a withdrawal of the accusation within 5 days or she seeks redress in court.
Mr Fayose says that Mr. Femi Falana who was involved in the Army’s court martial had a sinister motive for getting involved. You wonder how doing his job as a lawyer constitutes a plot to have the governor removed. Except of course the governor is culpable, which he could be, judging by the facts in the public domain, hence his wild attempts at deflecting them away.

For fayose. I wonder how you reason
If you say gov fayose is a mad dog.your entire generation shall remain dogs for ever and ever. I can see illiterates insulting a great man whom god has chosen to lead the ekiti state. Some of you are suffering from depression and anxiety attack. Juvenal deliguecy. Malnutrition and hunger inflicted upon you by APC and buhari and you are foolishly insulting a gov who defeated 2 incumbent govs.
Lead ekiti 2 where??? He better start doing good things 2 his family & state n stop creating problems & enemies 4 them!!!
Haba!!! Na only you Waka come?
The Best Governor of all time. I love you morethan Any other governor. I am from Imo state but I so much respect you my mentor. You are my Role model. We need to stand up for this man.
Pls fayose is an Igbo man. Or Yoruba pls ?
He is created by God Almighty. In case you don’t know
The ibos are the one defending Fayose , wonders shall never end
why are u against him?
We are not against him at all but his ways, the question is WILL YOU WANT HIM AS YOUR STATE GOVERNOR?
Some idiot can never talk with out calling igbo y.just dat there r alway at the part of trueth.i blame yorubas who allow illitrate hausas to b using them when it come to politics.the r educated but so appear so cheep when it come in to politics.coming to fayose,my pple sald dat,kill dat strong mam,kill dat dat strong man there wil b a tym when some thing wil happen the wil b lukin for dat strong person.may by then the might have the strong man.yoruba pple to my sense of reasonin i can c dat many of u dot lik fayose cus of buhari,i wil advise u pple to go after him and bring him for buhari to kil just the way u pple kil mko.dat just my advice nothing more.political stinch
What of Ibo’s that kill okadigbo.have u ever rule this country.hausa.Yoruba and Niger delta have all rule.pls tell me where are u people.fools
Austin Eze. Its you,and entire family,that are mad and needed rehab at the psychiatric ward. Oloriburukwu omo ale. Its people like you that should be sent back to the zoo amd locked up. Stupid foolish motherfucker.
Why are you yorubas so sentimental,the igbos are for the truth if you conduct a poll now you be surprise that majority of the igbos will prefer fayose to their own governors.
Then y are u people sentiment too.do u like ameachi and okorocha.fools
@austin eze. I dont know which university you got your fake certificate from. Surely you must be a motor boy, a tout, or ogogoro seller. You are a replica of a mad dog,trending or making comments on fb.instead of addressing issues of your governor without tax clearance. May i ask,are you from ekiti state?
Yorubas did not worship position or money like igbos,you people should out of yoruba issue.When yar’dua die in office our leaders troop out to make sure gej become president and during the 2011 election yoruba again voted massively for him with all this support what did yoruba benefit from that corrupt government nothing.GEJ then become a regional tribal presifent instead of nigeria president.Fayode is not a yoruba respected leaders and nobody can make it happen,when the chips are down yoruba know their true leader if igbos were so much in love with fayose they are ftee to make him one of their criminal governor or leader who care?
shut up are u beta than fayose?
Yorubas are neither here nor there what Hausa would describe as beriberi.( Bats.)
in politics there is no permanent enemy nor friend so don’t bring issue of tribe to this matter of fayose if some igbos like or hausa let dem like him or I know is dat some Yoruba ppl lik him too
Fayose is Biafra vice president
Fayose is on his way to jail.
Stupid statement.
That is what you think? Remember the case of Amaechi before the 2015 general election. You might be the next victim while praying for another man’s downfall no matter bad the person may be, it is only God that can predict the down fall of a man
You are a big liar
Fayose never said he was covered from being investigated by immunity. He said you can investigate but you cannot prosecute him until 2019. On the freezing of his account, the Efcc has no power to do that without a court order. Its only in Nigeria that you are arrested before being investigated.
@prince Andy, let there be decorum in your conversation, imagine you call a man old enough to be your father a fool. Remember the law of seed/harvest time !!
I am now sure that when Area boys candidate becomes Governor. May lord open their eyes and guide them to their early grave.
I repeat my word unthinking yorubas,hand fayose over buhari so,it wil b easy for buhari to kill him.just the way u pple sold mko abiola to them.fools
Ppl should let dis man be,he is d only one dat is taking, they want to stop him. Buhari are u clean?
Mr Gov be careful of these sycophant because they will take you to no go areas.
A real opposition leader, honestly i love this man tactics
A degenerate tug!!!
When Ameachi was insulting Jonathan the hausa’s were praising him,now the igbo’s are praising fayose the hausa’s are crying calling igbo name’s pls i want to ask what has the igbo’s done to other ethnic group?

This is exactly how mko brothers betrayed him and they are still planing same to Fayose and Fani Kayode all in name politics.Amaechi insulted the former president heaven did not fall.Why always you?
Governor Fayose.the rock himself.sail on no calamity not for u.
Governor Fayose.the rock himself.sail on no calamity not for u.
In all this issues, who will I blame? Fayose No this man is only baring his mind on issues like any opposition will do. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa doesn’t matter. D question is! Is d government right in his way of fighting corruption? 4me No. It’s just going about silencing opposition who ur saying d truth. U ur investigating funds PDP used 4 campaign, did Angel Gabriel bring that of APC 4rm heaven? U ur freezing d account of a sitting governor without a court order, is that democracy? No it’s simply wanting to silenced opposition. This is not how to run a government. Fayose or no Fayose this is dictatorship. This is my stand.
Hahaha unchained mad dog…
The lion, dont worry when u take over from bokohari as vice president comes 2019, buhari n his family will be in HELL
lols…who will b da president then??
@comedian ugodie i am not here to xchage world wirh u k.but i wil advice u to kil fayose just the way u pple kil mko.idiot.let me tel u,tym shal come u pple wul b lukin for person like fayose,while it may b too late
@ Udoh Andrew we all had a fair idea of what happened between 1999 and 2015. Can you quantify the lives lost as result of BH war. Have you forgotten that some soldiers were sentenced to death for refusing to go to war for lack of weapons? Do you know that alot of women are now widows and children fatherless as a result of this singular action? What if you or I had lost a relation in BH war be sincere what would have be going through our minds now? It’s not just probing election funds but embezzlement of money for procurement of weapons for our soldiers. This Dasukigate how many APC or PDP decampee were mentioned? AIT got 2.1billion out of the money.Where you happy the way our soldiers were be killed in battle front including soldiers from Igboland and others? Note this not just campaign funds it was funds meant for arms purchase. APC members can be accused of state funds all the same. Even the decampee from PDP how many of them have been mentioned? I know gov Nyako( former )APC is in court too.PMB will not be there forever let the next govt do the same thing
kudos to the greatest.
It is u & ur likes that will be looking for an irresponsible man like fayose: sometimes, some people are known by their comments. Just advise the rogue to answer for the money he & the obanikoros have just been found to have stolen.
U can say what u like though unfounded, but I bet u, most Nigerians love Fayose for his stand for the people and truth . And I’m sure u won’t be preferred to him. Please appreciate him for once. He chose to be with the masses, the first governor ever in Nigeria
Fayose still remains the best opposition Governer so far. I love his style so much. When people begin to use power that be to harrass you at the national level, he too would use his mouth and also the power that be at the state level to defend himself. A fearless and bold governor that knows the powers weld around his office. Not like others who the power that be had turned them to rats.
DOSE CRITICING FAYOSE STAND AGAINST BUHARI 2DAY WERE D ARDEN SUPPOTERS OF ROTIMI AMAECHI WHO WZ INSULTING GEJ.FAYOSE CARRY ON
Fayose have indicted himself on election matters. He openly said Zenith Bank sponsored his election. Under company n allied law. He Fayose have also implicated Zenith Bank. He will now be tried on election matters. I know some idiots will say immunity covers him on dis. Abia Governor on my mind.
It be like say Fayose dey take bush.
