Fayose not recruiting any thugs, APC calling for coup – Aide

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has
described the allegation of treasonable comments
made against him by the state chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), as not only
ridiculous but coming from an unsound mind.
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Idowu
Asdelusi, described as shameless lie, claim by the
State Chapter of the APC that the governor was
arming ten thugs per local government in the
State, saying:
“APC is obviously calling for a coup-de-tat
against a governor democratically elected,
whose tenure is fixed and mode of possible
removal from office is stipulated in the
Constitution of Nigeria.”
He said the tone of the press release by the APC
really showed the poor state of mind of those
running the affairs of party.
"There is no point wrestling with pigs. For
people with sound, discerning 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 been
able to survive in a law abiding society?
"Politics apart, this is madness taken too
far and beyond redemption. Governor
Ayodele Fayose came and cleaned up the
mess left by the APC government of Dr
Kayode Fayemi and it's hordes of blood
suckers, who made Ekiti State to bleed to a
point of coma. He has not only been alive
to his duty as the indefatigable leader of
the state, but has consistently put smiles
on the faces of the people.
He said it was shameful that the same party that
ran Ekiti State aground, through reckless
borrowing and mismanagement of the State
finances could want to present itself as speaking
for the people whose future they mortgaged.
He said:
"It was the APC government of Fayemi that
came to office and started with bloodletting
with the murder of Chief Adeleye
Awolumate and ended with no fewer than
12 murders, including a 400 level student of
Accounting in the Ekiti State University,
Teslim Abiola.
"If the APC goons are piqued that Mr
Governor is criticising the President, they
can relocate to Abuja and denounce their
indiqeneship of Ekiti State. They must know
that Governor Fayose, like any other
Nigerian, is exercising his constitutional
rights of freedom of speech. He has not
breached anybody's rights by constructively
commenting on national issues".
“It is obvious that having failed in their
efforts to gained access to the Ekiti State
Government through the backdoor, they
now desired a situation whereby the State
Government House will also be invaded by
the DSS as it was done in Akwa-Ibom
State, but on this one, they will fail as
usual.”
“Governor Fayose clearly expressed his
minds in the interview they are trying to
capitalise on by warning that any attempt
to destabilise his government could lead to
the downfall of the APC government and he
stands by what he said. The governor never
said he was going to bring the government
of President Mohammadu Buhari down.
“Therefore, Nigerians do not need the
apology of a group of shameless hypocrites
like the APC in Ekiti State. Rather, what
Nigerians need at this time is someone who
can look at President Buhari in the eyes and
tell him the bitter truth, and that’s exactly
what Governor Fayose is doing.
"The APC loudmouths in Ekiti State would
do themselves a lot of good by forcing
themselves to get over their woeful
performance in Ekiti elections and the
'Amalekite-kind' of defeat they suffered in
the June 21, 2014 governorship election.
For how long would they continue to wall.
