The Governor of
Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has been tasked to seek peace with his warring
party men so the mission and vision of his administration would to be scuttled
through rancour and internal wrangling.
A Chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Adeolu Tinubu, advised that the good
vision Governor Fayemi has for Ekiti can only materialise under the atmosphere
of peace and unity, not via chaos and unwarranted political squabbles that
would make Ekiti masses the ultimate losers.
Chieftains of the
All Progressives Congress(APC): Senators Dayo Adeyeye, Babafemi Ojudu and 13
others had been having a running battle with Fayemi over the control of APC,
which has caused a lot of tension in recent time.
Commenting on the
crisis on Monday in Emure Ekiti while interacting with some elders, Tinubu said
Fayemi and politicians of the APC extraction must work in one accord for the
state to be truly respected as a land of honour.
He said politicians
shouldn’t have the erroneous impression that all their grievances can be
resolved by heating up the polity, saying such tendencies can only make the
state ungovernable and decelerate the spate of development.
“I appeal to
Governor Kayode Fayemi and the political leaders of APC and even other parties
to eschew discord and embrace peace.
“The latest
development where party leaders are locked in battles would only increase
disunity in the state and thereby retard the progress and development as a
whole.
“There is no
meaningful progress that can be made under the climate of discord, unhealthy
rivalry, violence and general disequilibrium.
“Ekiti state is
loaded with manpower potentials, and we are respected for our hard work and
intelligence. Such potentials will amount to nothing when not harnessed to
effectively bring out greatness for our dear state.
“Governor Fayemi as
the leader must live by example by reaching out to aggrieved individuals across
party lines on the need to ensure a peaceful Ekiti.
“The 2022
governorship election is still long. This is the right time for governance and
when the time to play politics comes, then they should all go out and reach out
to our people to canvas for votes, in a peaceful and civil manner”, he advised.
Tinubu emphasised
that Ekiti State has a long history of “peaceful coexistence rooted in
humility, integrity, good name, communal relationship, selfless service and
hard work”, stressing that politics should not be allowed to truncate such a
long-standing tradition.
