Fayose had initially called for peace and urged the APC lawmakers to sheathe their swords, a request which they refused.
The governor subsequently called on transport unions, market women and workers, via a broadcast on Sunday, April 19, to rise up and protect the mandate they gave him.
Fayose also stated that he was enjoying the mandate of God and anyone who ignored God’s voice was doing Satan’s bidding.
