You Can Start Your Probe Now! - Fayose Tell Fayemi

Fayemi and Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti State, has challenged Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the Governor elect, not to wait any further, till October 16 that he will be sworn in, but to begin the probe of his government now.

According to the PUNCH, Fayose advised the governor-elect to seek legitimacy for his election first rather than embarking on a vendetta mission that would consume him.

The Governor through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New‎ Media, Lere Olayinka, said this in his reaction to Fayemi's threat.

"It is obvious that he will be consumed in his vendetta mission and rather than grandstanding, Fayemi should first seek legitimacy for his stolen mandate," he said.

"He (Fayemi) should stop living in the world where threat of probe scares people because we in the government of Fayose are not afraid of victimisation and vendetta that Fayemi is obviously coming with."

Fayose described Fayemi as a beneficiary of a stolen mandate who is afraid to even come to the open to celebrate his false victory.

"Even yesterday (Wednesday) when he went to collect the certificate of the mandate that was snatched and handed to him by the powers that be in Abuja, he had to be protected by police helicopter and hundreds of armed policemen. One wonders how he is going to rule the people they forced him on."

"If Fayemi is on vendetta mission, which is obvious that he is, he will first destroy himself because like Ekiti and its people survived him during his first tenure, the people will outlive him this time too."

The people of Rivers State are apprehensive, following the arrest of over 20 Northern youths who smuggled about 50 cows with 27 recorded dead in a truck with registration number (RGM 104 XA), through Adamawa, Okigwe routes to Igwuruta in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

According to POLITICSNGR, Hon. Engr Samuel Nwanosike JP, the Executive Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, swam into action by contacting Igwuruta Division of Nigerian police for immediate arrest and investigation.

Hon. Nwanosike also contacted Dr. Ekanam, Director Primary Health Care, and Dr. Joy Wohioka, who is in charge of Health Care, Ikwerre Local government area of the state, to join forces with the police for proper investigation.

The residents of the community are already apprehensive following the ugly development.

Many Kelga residents who spoke with the press, but pleaded anonymity, were of the opinion that the development has a political undertone and therefore called on the government not to sweep the investigation under the carpet.
Before the arrival of security agents, it was discovered that over four cows among the dead had been distributed and sold for public consumption.
