In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Peter Okhiria, Governor Adams
Oshiomhole said;
“We find it utterly laughable and as the height of
political childishness for the Ekiti State Governor to hide behind his
media aides and seek to drag the name of the Governor of Edo State,
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, into his crude gangster tactics which he has
re-introduced into Ekiti politics less than two months after assuming
office.
“If the Ekiti Governor is too lazy to read and too
politically illiterate to know what is happening in Edo State House of
Assembly, we expected his psychedelic media aides to simply shut their
loud mouths rather than behave like capering neophytes." Continue..
“For
the purpose of education, the Ekiti Governor and his media aides should
be informed that there is no crisis in Edo State House of Assembly.
Fifteen members of the 24-member Assembly are members of the All
Progressives Congress, while nine are members of the opposition PDP. Of
the nine PDP members, three are on suspension while the seat of one
member has been declared vacant. So, effectively, the PDP has five
members in the Edo State House of Assembly.
“Even a
kindergarten knows that 15 is greater than 5. So if five PDP members
decide to sit with three suspended members and another whose seat was
declared vacant in a chamber which is undergoing renovation, then we can
at best regard that as the height of crass legislative
irresponsibility".
“It is ridiculous to even contemplate that
the Ekiti Governor and his media aides do not know that 15 is greater
than five! For sure, they seem engrossed with their stomach
infrastructure mantra, such a dubious contraption which can only be
contrived by an ideologically clueless and gluttonous administration".
“But
for the kind of democracy we practice in Nigeria, where the PDP
promotes and condones all manners of illegalities, inanities and
shenanigans which have become the second nature of that party, Ayodele
Fayose would have been cooling off his heels in gaol rather than
brandishing the appellation of being a Governor.
“We are
thoroughly ashamed that Ekiti, hitherto known as the fountain of
knowledge, is being reduced to a mindless bubble by a man running her
affairs without a discernible direction like a drowning man clutching
desperately at flotsam.
“We advise Fayose to restrict his
gung-ho area boy tactics to Ekiti state and stop dropping the name of
Governor Adams Oshiomhole to shore up his jaded image. Governance comes
with decorum, respect and responsibility. If Ekiti people with all their
avowed sophistication and intellectuality have elected to present a
political rascal as their number one citizen, so be it; but they must
understand that there is a huge difference between character and infamy"
