Below is a press release from Governor Ayo Fayose's aides
Ogun State born Maxwell Olusegun Adegbenro, Special Assistant on Social
Media to the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi
has accused traditional rulers in Ekiti State, who attended forum
organised by Concerned Yoruba Elderst in Ile-Ife on Friday, of
collecting N150, 000 bribe each to attend the event.
Maxwell Adegbenro made this allegations on his Facebook page at about 11:30 am on Saturday.He berated the Obas, including the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe
of travelling to Ile-Ife to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan,
saying; "The Ekiti Obas can receive the President in their home state
and not OAU at a function organised by a group in close association with
PDP."
Adegbenro, who is Dr Fayemi’s spokesperson on social media must have
echoed the position of the former governor on the traditional rulers'
visit to Ile-Ife on Friday to attend the event.
He said; "And our own traditional rulers in their borrowed robe suddenly
filled Gov Fayose escort to endorse Jonathan and not to receive him.
"Was Jonathan coming to Ekiti? How may Ondo State Traditional rulers graced the programme?
"How many Osun State Obas, Ogun and Oyo suddenly became President
Jonthan convoy team to a meeting supposedly organised to rally support
for him?
"You and I know why these Obas were there. They may have been
lucksturally deceived by Fayose in presenting entire Ekiti before
President Jonathan as peoples choice and candidate.
"Traditional rulers are separable of despotic politics. An interplay
that has no moral, cultural ground is justifiably an ills to our values
and norms. Egbon, that is my point. Where then is their integrity. So, again I heard they were paid 150k each."
Reacting, Special Assistant to Ekiti State Governor on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka described the comment as an
insult on the entire people of Ekiti.
Olayinka, who demanded an immediate retraction of the statement and
apology by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, said
Governor Fayose will not stand and watch anyone dragging the traditional
institution in Ekiti State in the mud
Oh jeeeeeeez!!!!

ReplyDeleteI commented in that OAU student posts that I personally saw Ghana must go bags, very heavy one finding their routes to cars parked outside the Odua hall and I wonder, what is the objective of their meeting. Jonathan don't need to campaign or demand SW support. Your works alone will get you there.
ReplyDeleteDon't they all collect bribes??? Rubbish!
ReplyDeleteDrama!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really big shame that our youth in Nigeria are being misguided by monetary benefits. The so called PDP youth should read the section 68 and its subsections which clearly provides a proviso. And also let them read section 252 as well. In anycase, what they are telling us is that the police can also kill or jail a suspected murderer without a court pronouncement because the laws of the land says a murderer must killed? I felt sick when I heard when of the so called youth leader during GEJ's declaration, that GEJ should continue as president (life president perhaps) if not for constitutional restrictions.
ReplyDeleteI HEARD OBA OF LAGOS/OBA OF APC COLLECTED 50K TO DELIVER LAGOS TO CRI
ReplyDeleteMINAL APC GOVT. THATS WHY HE WAS TALKING RUBBISH
Corrupt yoruba obas.
ReplyDeleteSome of them have oil blocks in our zone given to them by no other than the bloodiest dictator this country has ever had; Sanni Abacha himself.
A few weeks back, the oba of Lagos, revealed how he shared Abacha money to diferent Obas as he was the chief of police in that awful period of our history.
Yoruba obas are real disgrace to this nation.
Nigerians are their own worst enemies based on the number of comments I read, I feel we deserve all the country is going through right now.
ReplyDeletena you sabi.i think the share ddnt get to you
ReplyDelete@lami how??? The issue is when it comes to monry I dont trust any Nigerian , the hardship created by our leaders has made most people moral blind.for some of us that were here during Abacha we all know what they did.
ReplyDeleteEx-Aide or whatever you called yourself, why wouldnt you leave stage for other to act? Ekiti is never your state. please leave them and their ways.
