“When Fayose won in 2014, the
whole of Ekiti erupted with joy. In 2018 the APC “won” and all the streets of
Ekiti are looking so gloomy. The people are sad because their will has been
truncated”- Adeolu Daramola.
My friend and brother, Governor
Peter Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state, is not infallible. He is not an angel and
like every other mortal, he has his own fair share of faults, excesses and
shortcomings.
We do not agree on everything and
neither do we always share the same opinion on matters of state and policy.
I should add this: some of his
friends are my sworn enemies and some of my friends are his, yet nothing and
no-one can come between us.
That is the nature of our
covenant and deep bond which has its roots well above politics, which was borne
through our shared love of the Living God and the Gospel of Christ and which
was established and forged by the blood of Jesus.
Our differences in terms of style
and approach only brings us closer and serves to make our friendship stronger.
And despite his regular displays of strong emotions, what a profoundly good and
insightful man he is.
In terms of courage, compassion,
decency, the love of his people and a yearning for truth and justice he stands
head above shoulder virtually every other political leader in the country.
And permit me to add this: even
if I am the only one left in the country that is willing to do so, I will stand
by him till the end.
That is the nature of the man
that the Buhari administration robbed, beat, slapped, humiliated and insulted
last week and that they are now planning to utterly destroy.
Yet despite the abysmal behaviour
and shameless criminality of INEC, the ruling-APC and Buhari’s minions during
the conduct of the governorship election last saturday Fayose has nothing to be
ashamed of and, in my view, he remains the epitomy of courage, truth, loyalty,
decency, compassion and righteousness.
He stood for truth and he dared
the powers that be in the name of the Most High God. Regardless of what we see
today and what we witnessed on saturday, that God shall never forsake or leave
him and in the end he will have the last laugh and be vindicated.
The bitter truth is that the
Ekiti election was a sham. The APC paid 4000 naira for each vote that they got
and, in collusion with INEC officials, they used the police and security
agencies to drive away PDP agents and supporters from voting and collation
centres. They also shut down the local television and radio stations to prevent
the truth from being exposed.
This was a trago-comedy of the highest
degree. As Josef Stalin, the dreaded Russian tyrant, once said, “the people who
cast the votes decide nothing but the people who count the votes decide
everything”.
I say weep not for Fayose,
Professor Kolapo Olusola (the PDP governorship candidate), or the PDP but
rather weep for the good people of Ekiti state, Yorubaland and Nigeria.
Worst of all is the fact that the
daylight robbery that took place on saturday is actually a test run for 2019.
Those that are laughing at Fayose
and making jest of his misfortunes and his efforts to defend the true wishes
and will of the Ekiti people will get their own at that time.
I say this because the beast that
seeks to devour him and the people of Ekiti seeks to devour us all.
When the jihadists, herdsmen and
members of Nigeria’s “master race” start terrorising and butchering the good
people of Ekiti state, the south-west and the south, just as they are already
doing to the people of the Middle Belt, no-one should be surprised and neither
should they complain because that is the nature of the beast that has broken
the gate and forced itself into their land and homes.
Those that collected cash from
the APC in return for their votes have unknowingly sold their souls,
sovereignty, destiny independence and birthright to the agents and emissaries
of satan in return for the rulership of a vicious and relentless cabal of
vampires, demons, goblins and monsters who hail from a distant foreign land.
For a measly 4000 naira they have
traded in their liberty and freedom in return for the dictates, whims and
caprices of a wicked group of heartless and cruel men who take their orders and
directives from a dark, sinister and blood-filled cauldron of sorcery and
voodoo and a malevolent and accursed tattered old broom.
I have not mentioned any names
but the creatures that I am referring to know who they are.
I have always said that Dr.
Kayode Fayemi is my friend who I have known for many years and who I have
always liked, respected and had a soft spot for.
The same goes for Otunba Niyi
Adebayo, the former Governor of Ekiti state and the leader of the APC in Ekiti,
who is not only a family friend of over 50 years standing but also a dear
brother.
I do not bear any animosity
towards either of the two or towards Senator Femi Ojudu, another friend of
mine, who is also a strong APC leader in Ekiti state either.
However, I consider those that
they represent and who sent them to enslave the southewest and the people of
the south with cattle colonies, herdsmen, cows, a Janjaweed ethos and a
jihadist philosophy as my perpetual, mortal and eternal enemies before whom I
can and will never bow.
That is where I draw the line and
that is our only point of departure. Outside of that I have no malice for or axe
to grind with any of the leaders of the APC in Ekiti state or indeed anywhere
else in Yorubaland. We simply belong to different teams and and different
political camps. And this is for good reason.
For those that doubt it let us
consider our plight in Nigeria today. Insecurity is at its peak. The mass
murder, ethnic cleansing and commission of genocide against innocent and
defenceless Nigerians is unprecedented.
Our nation is more divided than
ever before. Our economy is in shambles and poverty stalks the land. The senior
cadre of our Armed Forces are aggrieved because President Muhammadu Buhari has
refused to appoint new Service Chiefs since the tenure of the old ones expired.
The democratic process has been
subverted as votes are procured with public funds and electons are rigged with
the apparatus of the state. People no longer see or believe that their PVC is
their weapon because few believe that we can ever have a free and fair election
in our country as long as Buhari remains in power. The list goes on and on and
it is one lamentation after another.
Rev. Martin Luther King jnr. once
said “to ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it”.
How right he was. And many in our
nation today, out of fear, stupidity and cowardice, have chosen to simply ignore
the evil that took place in Ekiti on saturday.
Yet even worse than them are
those that have chosen to applaud the evil and celebrate it simply to spite
Fayose. They forget that to applaud injustice is not only shortsighted and evil
in itself but that it is also a graphic and singular manifestation of witchcraft
and sorcery.
The truth is that those that
delight in the suffering, misfortune and humiliation of others and that refuse
to stand up and speak for the victims of injustice, wickedness and tyranny are
doomed to failure and eternal shame and are best described as the children of
darkness and the sons and daughters of perdition. They shall all burn in hell.
Many in our country are troubled
by the many challenges that the Ekiti debacle has thrown up and even more
understand and discern its solemn implications.
As examples of some of those
concerns permit me to share the insighful words of two respected public
commentators and discerning intellectuals about the implications of what
happeed in Ekiti.
The first, Prince Otoks Dan
Princewill, wrote the following.
“Is it not now clear? Who wants
to know more? Who wants to be further schooled? This PVC matter needs a sincere
government to function properly. We have in place a government that looks away
as Nigerians are slaughtered. We have a government who moved in 30,000 officers
to rig an election and has a Division sitting on its thumbs in a place less
than an hour away where Nigerians are slaughtered in a killing orgy for days.
We have a government who encouraged a police officer to slap and rough handle a
Governor. We have a government that has appointed the entire security
architecture from a section of the country. And yes, we have a country where
conscience is for sale for 4000 naira and many say it is overpriced. We must
therefore retool. We must redirect and reset. We must match the bar to where
things has been raised. We cannot afford to assume anything. As at now, count
2019 lost. Unless we retool. It is not about PVCs and registration. It is about
so much more”.
On his part Elder Michael Orobator
wrote:
“We have Judases and pernicious
traitors, Fulani slaves and useless idiots always at the beck and call of the
internal colonisers in our ranks. I have said it before and FFK strongly
reiterated same that the Fulani, most comfortable in situations of strife and
warfare, will not leave us alone until we weed out the Fayemis, Oshiomoles,
Oyeguns, Amaechis et al from our midst”.
Can any reasonable person dispute
the insightful assertions of these two elderly, wise, experienced and
discerning men?
Permit me to conclude this
contribution with the words of Peter “the Rock” himself. After the rape of
democracy that took place in Ekiti state on July 12th he said:
“I am Peter Ayodele Fayose, I
hold my head high. I can never be suppressed. I don’t lose battles and I will
not lose this. I will laugh last.The President should note what the Bible says
which applies to him. ‘He that wears the armour should not boast as he that
removes it.’ It is only Buhari that will pride himself with the security
shooting sporadically at polling centres, scaring people to pave the way for
APC thugs to snatch ballot boxes”.
These are strong and prophetic
words from a Spirit-filled soldier of Christ and a courageous and strong lion
of the realm.
He concluded by saying “Buhari’s
EFCC is threatening me, as if Buhari will remain in power forever. Is the EFCC
the Court?”
How right he is!
May God deliver our nation and
may He guide, lead, strengthen and vindicate Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose and
the good people of Ekiti state.
