Ekiti youths say Gov. displayed foolishness act

Governor

The youth condemned the Governor's letter to the Chinese government urging it not to issue loan to the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement by group's Director of Media and Publicity, Comrade Tope Idowu, read, “The decision of the governor to attempting frustrating the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in his effort to redeeming the political image and also resuscitating, restructuring and repositioning the battered economy of the nation is not only unfortunate, but also insane.”

Continuing, the group said, “Though we are not unaware of his political hatred for President Mohammadu Buhari even before he became the president of Nigeria, but the display of such hatred should not be to the detriment of the progress of Nigeria. Initially we thought Fayose was playing a progressive opposition, aiming at putting the President on his feet and making him deliver on his electioneering promises, but his recent decision to write the Chinese government not to support Nigeria government at this very sensitive and critical period is totally insane and worrisome.

“Ordinarily, we expected the governor to know better that such act is criminal, unfair, insane and breach of oath of office under the Schedule Seven of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which he sworn to protect and uphold. For God’s sake, Mr. Fayose is not the only Governor in the opposition parties in Nigeria, and sad enough, he is the least of the opposition Governors, morally and education wise."

'We, Ekiti Youths are seriously getting worried as our governor is becoming a monumental tragedy, exposing us to social ridicule and destroying our pride as a people, that probably God has deliberately given us Governor Fayose as a punishment. But we pray that this time should pass away as quick as possible. To set the record straight, it is imperative to again reiterate our utmost displeasure over the unnecessary and frequent display of lack of intelligent by our state Governor,' the group said further.

The group also called on the Chinese government to disregard the letter while demanding for an immediate refund of the expenses incurred by the state on the governor's trip.

'We of the Ekiti Kete Youth Forum wish to urge the Chinese government to disregard his letter and throw it into the dustbin of irrelevance as Governor Fayose is a man of questionable character, with no academic and moral credential. We also wish to intimate the Chinese government with the facts it should put into check before considering taken Mr. Fayose serious.

'We demand the immediate refund of the state money which Mr. Fayose spent on the fruitless and shameful trip he made to china just to take selfie at a train station. That the Anthony General of the Federation (AGF) institute a case of treason against Mr. Fayose over his breach of Schedule Seven (7) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic which he sworn to upon at all time,' the group said.

Gov. Fayose, who travelled to China on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 to attend the 119th China Import and Export Fair write to the Chinese government to ignore President Buhari's plea for loan.
