Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has reacted to accusations from his predecessor and one-time successor, Ayodele Fayose over being booed by the people of Ekiti State.
According to Daily Post, Fayose’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, lamented that some miscreants invaded Emmanuel Cathedral Church, Ado Ekiti and booed Fayose to no end, during the wedding ceremony of the daughter of Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, on Saturday, December 15, 2018.
Fayose had alleged that the boo-boys had been hired by Fayemi and the APC to make life a living hell for him on that day.
Fayemi reacted to the accusation in a statement made available by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Segun Dipe. He said Fayose lived as if there was no tomorrow and so invited the booing on himself. He added that Fayose shouldn’t blame anyone else for his predicament.
“Fayose lived as if there was no tomorrow, he reigned as if there was no expiry date to his regime. He trampled on the rights of the people, treating them like slaves in their own land”, Fayemi said.
The governor added that Fayose was booed by those he had offended while his reign lasted.
“Our findings of the unfortunate fate that befell the former governor is that he was indeed booed, but by those he had offended within his own party, the PDP, who felt bruised and pained about the way he enslaved them within their own party.
“Fayose is the architect of his own misfortune. He will be living in a fool’s paradise to think the people will forget all his sins too quickly. He is now being haunted by his past misdeeds.”
