Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti State, has described the the human rights abuses and killing of people of the Southeast Nigerian who are agitating for the state of Biafra as ethnic cleansing.
Governor Fayose said that he had forewarned that President Muhammadu Buhari’s second coming would be like the dark days of the military government in 1984 when the nation quaked under heavy militarisation.
“I have said it before now that it is only God that can help the Ibo people. What I see going on the is ethnic cleansing when you see the video clips of that occupation the behaviour of the soldiers leaves much to be desired but they cannot act like that without a whistle blower, somebody is behind them telling them go and cleanse the people,” the governor is quoted as saying by Daily Post.

“Reckless human rights violation in Nigeria today is second to none. And I hope the international community would not be quiet on this. It is unfortunate.”

The governor, who made the remarks while receiving the Peoples Democratic Peoples’ Elders caucus in the state led by ex-deputy governor Paul Alabi, who paid him a visit to register their endorsement of his deputy, Olusola Kolapo as prefered candidate for 2018 governorship poll, lamented the fate of those allegedly militarised recently in the Southeast.
“I have said it earlier that this is beyond Kanu. That region entirely is embattled and challenged. But you know politics, time will tell. The wind blowing away your wife will blow you away one day. The wind blowing away your enemy today may blow you say one day. It is unfortunate that the Ibo people are suffering this kind of fate,” Fayose said.
“The herdsmen wrecking havoc all over, and killing, what has the military done to deal with them? Has any of the herdsmen been prosecuted, let alone giving them this kind of treatment?

“You went to court to revoke Kanu’s bail but you can’t even wait for the court to take decision before occupying his house. Nigeria is in trouble except the Lord helps us.
“When the wicked are in authority, the people suffer; when the righteous are in power, the people rejoice.
“We are in a major dilemma. Buhari coming back to power as I have said before is like returning to the dark days of the 1984, because they want to gag Nigerians; they came up with law against hate speech, they threatened to deal with people.
“Glory be to ago who can take both life here and life beyond, these ones can only go for life and can’t do more than that. Let me assure you, Nigeria is a country where God knows how to rearrange thing,” Fayose said.

Meanwhile, elder statesman, founder and President of Afe Babalola university, Ado-Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola, has escribed Fayose’s endorsement of Olusola as fulfilment of their desire.
“We are glad that governor Fayose has endorded Professor Olusola for next governor and also support his stand that this does not foreclose the chances of other aspirants to contest and be part of the forthcoming primaries.
“There is no doubt that Olusola has been endorsed to continue the good governance.
“We urge governor Fayose to support to bring together aggrieved members so the forthcoming 2018 poll would be won by the PDP.
“We support and align fully with the endorsement and have written a letter of congratulations to the Olusola on this development.”
Comment: True talk sir…. All we need is peace…
Comment:our gov. has gone mad again o.
Fayose an idiot, you are in support of falsehood because you want to to contest for president. Prison is your next resident.
you’re a fool by saying such you bitch
well said ur Excellency The Governor of Ekiti State. Sir also think that it is time for all other governors of the Nigeria States to come into this issue as partakers of the dialogue as though it affect every part of this country. The sentiment that it is okay in my state should be keep away from this issue. The escalation of these violent action is as a result of lack of appropriate actions of the affected States and the federal govt in the dialogue scenes. Sir u can lead the advocacy of getting other state Governors to ascertaining the real state of the dialogue processes. if I am a Governor, I would stick out my neck into this issue.
how dare u call someone a fool. Hell ? is waiting for u, If u do not repent and accept Jesus

Well spoken His Excellency Governor Fayose, The President is just been wicked
Never judge a man by his words, those who are calling fayose names are enemies of justice, how dare you abuse a man who has just said the truth, IPOB leader mazi Nnamdi kanu was granted bail by the high court but has not revoked his bail, then what constitution said that soldiers should invade his house and shoot sporadically and killed so many innocent people while he still has a date in court, Hahahaha! I laugh u hard for supporting evil which certainly get back to u, he has not found guilty before the court yet u went to kill him with soldiers invading and laying siege his compound, this is indeed ethnic cleansing and abuse of human right, the herdsmen massacres in agatu, herdsmen massacres in nimbo uzo uwani LGA , southern kaduna and other places in Nigeria, what has the soldiers done.This is evil to humanity and God will certainly destroy the wicked, our able governor ride on sky is ur limit
president buhari and his family will never see anything good in they life
think very well. Fayose has done his part on Fulani herdsmen in Ekiti. though he confirmed of having 84cows under the herdsmen.
if fayose really convince that what KANU is agitating is good and right why can’t he ask for ekiti cessation, because what is good for g is good g. fayose you just deliberately put this people into trouble, and you know you can’t help. Ika eniyan.
buhari will pay 4 this
Peace be to you brave and civilized governor Fayose. Brave and courageous persons like you are far fetched. Your level of civilization and right thinking has indeed separated you among your equals. The uncivilized opportunists who found themselves in seat of power without merits or leadership skills will never understand you as well as leaders who have sold their dignity for vanity at the expense of their subjects. The fearful and the chicken hearted leaders will throw stones at you out of jealousy. Never mind sir, history is on the making. God bless governor Fayose, God bless Ekiti state and God bless Biafrans
fayose,u an idiot,I never watched ur comment in dis country without u saying jagons and nonsense. how could u be always be talking and behaving llike u never pass through school at all,even primary leaving will never alter dis nonsense u called talk.if u dont have anything to say u keep quiet rather dan saying rubbish. do u think d whole Nigeria is like ekiti dat u can say and do anything u like..dis country sef I dont understand,how could dis mad man be governing a good state like ekiti? just because u wanna become president u are saying all dis. dont worry primary u no go even win.na inside cell u go die..oloriburuku. I hate u with passion.if I have opportunity to see u one on one ,I swear I go let u knw d nonsense u re talking. I dont knw how his wife and family wil be coping with dis idiot and bloody illiterate.
remember the reckless invasion agenda of the Fulani herdsmen began immediately buhari became president. Fayose is right, nothing has been done, Buhari is a tyrant.
I lv u governor
wen a man say a truth, we want to kill him,may God fight for d helpless, Pharaoh and co
where was this political hypocrate wen the IPOB was jumping bail conditions in a country that has respect for rule and order with a constituted leader. Training private army, design currencies, give unlawful order……. If this writer is the President which I know very sure no one can dare him. Yes am not in support of dehumanisation and torture of this people but the IPOB has taking too much laws in their hands
